OYSTER OWNERS OF PUGET SOUND – ‘OOPS’ OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED!
OWNERS PARTY AT THE SINGAPORE BOAT SHOW
Hosted by Oyster’s Asia representative, Bart Kimman, and Richard Gibson from Oyster’s UK offi ce, owners and VIP guests enjoyed a party to celebrate Oyster’s attendance at this year’s Boat Asia show. Held at Oneº 15 Marina Club, guests had an opportunity to a private view of Leo and Vicki Nagtegaals’s new Oyster 56 Duchess, which had just been delivered to Singapore for her new owners.
OYSTER APPOINTS UKRAINE REPRESENTATIVE
Proud Oyster owners hail from many a remote port and international calling.
During the Oyster team’s visit to the Seattle Boat Show, where a new Oyster 54 was on display for the fi rst time, Robin Campbell, Bob Marston and Will White were hosted to a dinner at the Seattle Yacht Club by a contingent of diehard, loyal Oyster owners who convened to share stories, talk about their yachts and, of course, learn more about what’s new at Oyster in the UK.
A toast was raised by owner Jim McCurdy, who proudly announced the offi cial formation and recognition of the Oyster Owners of Puget Sound (OOPS). It is believed that such a merry band has never had more reason to celebrate, as Oysters are not widely seen plying the waters of the Northwest, but that’s set to change.
“We thought it was about time Oyster had some offi cial recognition out here in the Wild West. What better way to celebrate than forming our own little association to ensure the Oyster fl ag is being properly represented.”
‘OOPS’ welcomes inquiries and plans to host future Oyster events. If fellow Oyster owners fi nd themselves in Seattle or have cruising plans in the Northwest/British Columbia, be sure to make contact with Jim or Neil McCurdy. You’ll be warmly welcomed.

Two Oysters are amongst the fl eet of 30 yachts taking part in the 2010 World ARC. Stephen Hyde’s Oyster 56 A Lady and Goswyn and Liz Dunkel’s Oyster 55, Wigwam of Kent, were amongst the early arrivals as the fl eet reached the halfway stage in Mackay, Australia aſt er their 1200-mile passage from Vanuatu. T eir arrival in Australia marks a signifi cant achievement for the fl eet, as they offi cially complete their crossing of the world’s largest body of water, the Pacifi c Ocean, aſt er heading away from the shores of Ecuador, South America, some fi ve months ago.
From Mackay, the boats start a month’s free-cruising period up through the Great Barrier Reef towards T ursday Island, where they will rendezvous again before setting out on the nextleg to Darwin.
