Broker's Comments

The Oysterman 16 is based on the designs of the Falmouth sailing dredgers, which are built for north oyster dredging under sail and serious racing in the off-season. For this reason they are designed with powerful sailing rigs and extra ballast, producing a pleasingly sturdy and fast boat under sail. They have good sized cockpits and cuddy interiors, with plenty of space on deck and below,for this size of boat.

This version is a tidy example of the gaff sloop. When visiting the boat, it presents as clean and well looked after, with woodwork that is in good condition. A new furling gib was provided in 2017, followed by a new mast in 2018. This boat looks ready to go and would be an ideal opportunity for single handed sailing, as a starter boat and equally for entusiasts of the design and racing. The interior coud be modified to include a galley and heads space, but is still sufficent for the occasional night or two away from harbour. If you would like to know more, or would like a personal viewing then please do contat our office and we would be happy to help.
