On the live Oyster 72 card the overview calls the boat one of the most recognizable production yachts of Northern Europe: "Scandinavian yards", years 2018 to present, about 400-850 hulls, length 22 m, beam 7.04 m, displacement about 11 440 kg. It is a British Oyster, drawn by Rob Humphreys, not a Scandinavian yard. The sheet holds beam about 5.85 m, displacement about 48 000 kg, a start from 2005, and 14 hulls. While the overview keeps the northern template and a weight about one-quarter of the sheet, you are not yet looking at a consistent Oyster 72.

The model is a Humphreys ocean cruiser for Oyster: LOA about 22.53-22.77 m, LWL about 19.43 m, draft about 2.80 m. Chips 2018+ are another window, not a clean 2018 launch. Live hull count 400-850 is not taken as SSOT: the yard names 14. We do not invent an asking price. We do not rewrite Oyster 46 in this journal.

Annual ownership costs

Annual cost bands in kronor read as a berth class around 22-23 m, not a yard quote. We do not invent an asking price here.
