YARD REPORTOyster 125 by DuboisFlybridge VersionFlybridge sailing yachts are a relatively new concept and, until the introductionof the flybridge version of the Oyster 125 by Dubois, were to be found only on48m (160 ft) yachts and above. The Dubois design office already has a number offlybridge yachts on the water, including ‘Tiara’ at 54.3m (178ft) and ‘Kokomo’ at51.7m (169ft).With this experience, the Dubois team has been able to finesse the design of theOyster 125 to capture all the benefits of this concept and match them within awell-balanced, good-looking profile.This flybridge uses the same superstructure as the Raised Saloon but also offers anupper flybridge with twin helms, lounge, wet bar and sunbathing area.At approx 200 tonnes lightship displacement, the Oyster 125 by Dubois is a verysubstantial superyacht, offering a stunning performance in absolute comfort.SPECIFICATIONS:OYSTER 125 FLYBRIDGELength Overall (including pulpit) 38.14m / 125' 0"Length of Hull 38.14m / 125' 1"Length of Waterline: 35.37m / 116' 1"Beam: 8.95m / 29' 4"Draft (standard): 4.03m / 13' 6"Standard Rig and Spar Type: 4 spreader carbon spar, sloop rigged,with In-boom roller-furling Main,fully battenedBallast Keel TypeBallast keel Fabricated fin and lead bulbDisplacement (Lightship) c190,000 kg / c420 000lbsTypical engine:Caterpillar C18 600 HpTanks - fuel (approx):12600 litres / 2,771 Imp gals / 3,328 US galsTanks - water (approx)4200 litres / 924 Imp gals / 1,109 US galsSail area with 100% foretriangle: 739 sq m / 7,954 sq ftRig: I - 48.80m / 160' 1"J - 14.10m / 46' 3"P - 44.60m / 146' 3"E - 15.40m / 50' 6"Air Draft: 51.79m / 170' 0"184 | Floating ASSET - September/October 2013September/October 2013 - Floating ASSET | 185
