On first impressions you might think the new Oyster 46 is similar in size to her predecessor, however you do not have to look too far to realise this is a completely different creation. This new design will return higher average cruising speeds combined with more comfort and stability. Look no further than the waterline length - the new Oyster 46 has .78 metres (2 7) more waterline length; more beam; 1,600 kg (3600 lbs) more displacement and 17.3 square metres (186 square feet) more sail area. It soon becomes clear to see that this new design, whilst only being slightly longer, is in fact significantly bigger and will offer more exciting sailing performance, comfort and all round stability.
