About
For Sale: 1991 Oyster Lightwave 395 | 2015 Yanmar Diesel | Standing Rigging 2024 | Current Owner of 13 YearsA British-Built Oyster Performance Cruiser with Significant Recent Investment
The Oyster Lightwave 395 is a highly regarded British-built performance cruiser, combining the sailing characteristics expected from an Oyster with the accommodation and practicality required for comfortable cruising.
This 1991 example offers a particularly attractive opportunity for anyone looking for a substantial cruising yacht with a proven pedigree and a specification that has benefited from considerable recent investment.
With accommodation for up to eight, the Lightwave 395 provides excellent space for family cruising, longer passages and extended time aboard, while retaining the rewarding sailing characteristics for which the design is known.
Importantly, a number of key areas have been addressed in recent years, giving prospective owners the benefit of significant expenditure already undertaken.
The combination of renewed standing rigging, updated running rigging and recent underwater maintenance makes this a particularly interesting example for anyone looking to acquire an older Oyster without overlooking the importance of ongoing investment.
The Lightwave 395 provides a generous and practical interior for a yacht of this size, with accommodation for up to eight and the volume required for comfortable family cruising.
The addition of Eberspächer diesel heating further enhances her suitability for UK coastal cruising and longer-season sailing.
