What make of yacht is this?

[Perry]

I have been asked to try to identify the make of this yacht.
Looks like a deck saloon, can any one help?

 

[Dyflin]

An oyster?

Looks like an Oyster 42, first aft cockpit deck saloon they've made for a while

 

[Dyflin]

I can't find any reference to an Oyster 42, got a link or pic?

 

[Guest]

Looks similar to an ARCONA 42DS ...... Swedish design, Estonia built - VERY nice.

Similar, but no "porthole" in hull (on the 40 at least)

The 'Eyebrow' overlapping coachroof is very distinctive of the later (post '94 Oysters) as is the black grille at the rear of the deck saloon

Thanks for your help, found a pic of an Oyster 42 but the windows look different. Any more ideas?

Similar Coachroof treatment to Regina of Vindo

100% Oyster
don't know the length
could be the 435

Not a 435. They only made 4 with the 'Eyebrow' coachroof, here's the last one built in '95. She has 4 hull ports either side and the blue line is below the ports unlike the one in the picture where it goes through the single port

And here's a different angle of her!

99% sure she's an Oyster 42. The windows look different because you cannot see the bottom detail in your shot due to the angle of heel, plus you're showing one without the sprayhood

Contact Robert Mulcahy at Oyster Brokerage info@oysteryachts.com and he'll give you chapter and verse

Bet you a pint she's a 42! Please report back

Here's a 42 without the heel

Thanks for all your help, the owner has been found and it is an Oyster 45, he has owned it since 1998 having bought it ex demo from Oyster.

Yes, can see this now. The front port is obscured by the spray

Thanks for reporting back
