oyster 37 sailboat

WHAT WE SAY

Designed by Holman & Pye to rate as a one tonner under the IOR, the 37 is a racer/cruiser and is particularly fast upwind where she is still capable of embarrassing more modern designs.

Good cabin space, combined with classic IOR good looks, makes the Oyster 37 an attractive yacht. Forty were launched between 1978 and 1980.

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Oyster Heritage 37

The Oyster Heritage sailboat has some interesting statistics based on the design ratios provided.

• Starting with the Sail Area/Displacement Ratio (SA/D) , it is a measure of the sail area available relative to the boat's weight. A high SA/D ratio suggests a boat will be faster and have a better light-air performance. A low SA/D ratio suggests the opposite – better performance in heavy air. The Oyster Heritage's SA/D ratio of 16.5 suggests it's somewhat on the lower end. This indicates that the boat might perform better in strong winds and heavier air, but might be slower and less efficient in light-air conditions.
• The Ballast/Displacement ratio (B/D) is used to assess a sailboat’s stability and its stiffness under winds. With a B/D of 41.3, the Oyster Heritage is a relatively sturdy and stable boat, and it should do well under heavy winds.
• The Displacement/Length Ratio (D/L) is a measure of a boat's speed potential. Low D/L ratios (under 200) suggest high speed and better performance. High D/L ratios (over 300) indicate a slower, more comfortable and easy-to-handle cruising yacht. The Oyster Heritage sits at a D/L ratio of 213, which is on the lower side of the scale, indicating a potential for better speed and performance.
• The Comfort Ratio gives an index of a yacht's motion in a seaway, where higher numbers indicate a more comfortable ride. The Comfort Ratio of the Oyster Heritage is 24.9, which is on the lower end, suggesting the ride can be livelier.
• Lastly, the Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) is intended to predict a yacht's suitability for offshore conditions. A number below 2.0 suggests a reasonably safe blue water sailing yacht. For Oyster Heritage, this formula gives us 2.0, suggesting it has an acceptable safety level for offshore sailing.

In summary, the Oyster Heritage sailboat might perform relatively better in strong winds, with good stability and potentially, better speed and performance. But it might have a more lively ride, and just passes the safe level for offshore sailing.

Broker's Comments

Boatshed Southampton are pleased to present to market this 1986 Oyster Heritage 37.

This well-founded long-distance cruiser appears fully set up for serious sailing. She has excellent sea-keeping abilities and also benefits from a well laid out cockpit, good sails, windvane steering and plenty of equipment on board.

These boats don't come onto our books very often as only 32 were made and they have a good status in the world of blue-water cruisers. Yachting World once wrote, “she is closer to my ideal cruising yacht than any other boat on the market.”

This yacht is designed and built for passage making and the layout and ample locker space reflect this. The forward cabin can be either two singles or a double berth with stowage. The heads are to port with a good sized shower and locker space. Moving aft to the main saloon, which is a large comfortable space, can sleep one double and one single and has a large saloon table.

The galley is to starboard with a Neptune cooker, two burner hob, grill and oven as well as a fridge.

The Nav station has a full-size chart table and instrumentation/fuse panel. This area of the yacht can be closed off to incorporate the aft cabin.

The vessel has hot and cold pressurised water system and an Eberspacher warm air heating overhauled in 2019.

These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Oyster 37 Heritage

Oyster 37 Heritage is a 37 ′ 0 ″ / 11.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Kim Holman and built by Oyster Marine between 1984 and 1988.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Pilothouse and coachroof versions. Keel/cb version: BU:4.25’ BD:8.0’

Hello there, Does anyone have any information to share about the Oyster Heritage 37? We are looking for a liveaboard to ultimately take us on some long passages, certainly across the Atlantic, and maybe the Pacific too. We like the layout and specifications of the Heritage 37, and have heard that that they sail well. Can anyone add to that? However, we have also heard that storage is wet, and lockers are leaky, but that later versions were better? Can anyone clarify that this is this true? Is so when did the model change, and how can we identify the differences? Many thanks, Regards  

Well-known member

When planning our great escape, we came across one of these. I was convinced it was the boat. Flew to Scotland with cheque book in hand, went aboard and tried so hard to love it, but it just wasn't right. (For us). The interior is quite cramped and we didn't feel there was enough stowage. In the end we bought a Westerly Corsair and subsequently a Moody 38.  

We also looked at the heritage as we were told how well they sailed and would look after you. Didn't work for us not enough stowage, layout a bit cramped so we bought a Westerly Corsair. Not sailed very far yet but should do an atlantic circuit easily enough, will have to see next year if I was right!

Thanks!  

Excellent boat of the older school. I knew one years ago, the owner part exchanged it for a Beneteau which he always thought was slower and he never got on with. The last owner of my present boat bought one (pilothouse) and still has it 15 years later, he loves it. I don't remember any problems with wet stowage, surely that could only be cockpit locker seals? I do recall that the prop was offset to one side which made navigation within a marina thought provoking and I didn't like the treadmaster on deck. Apart from that, superbly fitted out, comfortable and quite shallow draft to boot.

My parents have an Oyster Heritage 37, which they bought after a succession of Westerlies (including most recently a Corsair) and when we kids had more or less flown the nest. What you lose in accommodation - it is a small 37 footer by modern standards - you gain in sailing ability, particularly when it gets nasty. They have spent the last two summers cruising the remoter parts of Scotland, and found it ideal for such waters including the passages to the far-off islands, and indeed up the coast from Devon. Having owned a Rustler 31 myself, another Holman & Pye (and another small boat internally for its size), I have to say the Oyster 37 is one of the few more modern boats I have really enjoyed sailing offshore. No slamming etc, feels very solid, and the steering is great as wheel-steered boats go (a tiller's still nicer!). The motion is gentle and my mother now admits that she spent most of her time on the Westerlies feeling slightly seasick (and doesn't on the Oyster). What you don't get is palatial aft cabin(s) - more a large quarter berth, although it can be closed off - or two heads compartments etc that would be typical of today's wider-sterned designs. However the main saloon is very comfortable and the one heads compartment a good size, much better than for example an S&S Swan 38 (although that is another very fine sailing boat to consider). I would say the boat is ideal for two as a liveaboard cruiser, but not more for any significant length of time.

Fifinav, I have a scanned copy of the Builders brochure including a detailed general arrangement drawing - if you (or anybody else) would like to receive a copy by email, please PM me with your email address. Re other aft cockpit, longish keel cruising yachts, you could perhaps consider a Rustler 36, Challenger 35, Vancouver 36 (two very different types), Rival 36........... there are lots of possible options out there! Although saying that, the Heritage 37 does seem to be a well designed and built vessel. The Owners of Sestina (mentioned above) used to have a Contessa 33, so they are used to (and keen on) performance - I think they were in the 'Racing' class in the latest ARC from the Canaries to St Lucia. And I received an email from them recently, enjoying life in the Grenadines and slowly pottering northwards.

Oyster Heritage There are 3 versions. The early Mk1 which I think were built up to hull no. 15 or so. dististinguishable by the liferaft locker in the cockpit sole. This dissapears on the Mk2, also the Mk2 gains a wider quarter berth and the aft lower chain plate arrangement is slightly different. Plus the engine is slightly lighter and further forward as they have a tendency to being stern heavy. The final version is a hideously ugly pilot house, There's a very expensive German one that has been for sale for eons. I looked at 7 different Heritages before I bought mine. If you would like full chapter and verse as to what to look for please send me a PM. I'm not always on line as we're cruising in the Grenadines!  

• 10 Feb 2011

Wow! Thank you very much to everyone for all your replies, info and brochures. All very much appreciated. We still really like the Oyster Heritage 37, but there is only one on the market at the moment and we would really like to see another, any owners out there thinking of selling?  

Quality Cruising Yacht Hi Fifinav, in case you're still looking, a friend of mine has an Oyster Heritage 37 for sale. You can find the details at http://www.ladyclarinha.com It's an absolute beauty and has been upgraded left, right and centre with all the bells and whistles and he's also had the interior layout altered to make it more spacious and comfortable, so would be perfect for the longer journeys you're considering. The Heritage 37 is a quality cruising yacht and as far as I know he's never had any problems with leaking lockers, storage or anything else for that matter. Good luck!
