NEW MD FOR SOUTHAMPTON YACHT SERVICES
OYSTER 575 – BEST SAILING YACHT – ASIA BOATING AWARDS
T e Oyster Group was delighted to announce the appointment of Robert Kathro as Managing Director of Southampton Yacht Services (SYS) earlier this year.
Robert, who qualifi ed as a Naval Architect, has a strong and varied background in manufacturing and the marine industry, combining technical and strategic consultancy experience.
Robert’s appointment strengthens the SYS team, whilst allowing founder, Piers Wilson, who will remain on the board, to phase into his retirement over the next few years without the loss of his valuable and in-depth knowledge of boatbuilding and the refi t industry.
Barry Ashmore and Bart Kimman collect the Asia Boating Award
T e Asia Boating Awards are widely known as the region’s premier event for recognising the eff orts of boat builders, marinas, clubs and individuals in creating a diverse and exciting boating community in the region.
For the fi rst time in the Asia Boating Awards’ six-year history, the lavish ceremony was held in Hong Kong and coincided with the Hong Kong Gold Coast Boat Show. Oyster Sales Manager, Barry Ashmore, along with Oyster’s Hong Kong based representative, Bart Kimman, were on hand to collect the award, which recognised the new Oyster 575’s exceptional innovation in a ‘production’ yacht over 51 feet.
Commenting on the award, Bart Kimman said, “I am personally very pleased with this prestigious award. The jury has recognised how Oyster’s design team has achieved signifi cant design improvements to the extremely successful Oyster 54 and 56, and how every new Oyster moves the benchmark of performance and on-board comfort forward. At both the Singapore and Hong Kong boat shows we have had overwhelming interest in both existing and new Oyster models”.
Robert’s appointment also allows SYS Technical Director, Harvey Jones, to continue to expand on the essential role he has developed over the past year with Oyster’s superyacht project at RMK Marine in Turkey, where his depth of superyacht knowledge and technical input has already benefi ted the shape of the project there. A new team of Oyster and SYS skills will provide the Customer and Aſt er Sales support for the Oyster superyachts in the future.
SYS plays an increasingly important role in the Oyster Group, currently building the fi rst in class of the new Oyster 625, as well as a number of other new Oysters from 60-85 feet, whilst at the same time expanding on its refi t and restoration business, for which the company has an enviable track record.
