Broker's Comments

Boatshed Cornwall are pleased to list this Oysterman 22, designed by Paul Gartside and built by Oystersailers Ltd of Penryn. This cutter rigged gaffer is a cruising yacht based on Falmouth working boats . Her heavy displacement with encapsulated ballast in a long keel suggests a capable cruiser.

This yacht is lying on a pontoon mooring and is in need of a post winter clean, which is in hand and may well have been completed prior to viewings. Once onboard, this little yacht exudes space and headroom envied probably by other yachts of this size.

Upgrades include: Renewed sails (2010) Renewed engine (2010) Renewed batteries (2017) Renewed battery charger (2018)

Overall, this is a good example of an Oysterman 22 which appears to have been maintained, with indications of a possible major refurbishment having been undertaken some ten years ago.

This yacht would make an interesting liveaboard and therefore a viewing is recommended.

Thank you . I had the same experience with a Shrimper. I had graduated up from Drascombes to a Shrimper until I got caught in wind over tide in Waterford estuary and was nearly thrown out of the cockpit. So i decided to call it a day and get something heavier which could take me around the coast safely if the weather blew up . The Oysterman is a bit of a brick at 5 tonnes all up on a 22 ft waterline, but I feel the heavy displacement very reassuring when the wind and swell pick up.

Thank you for inviting me into Oysterman 22 appreciation society! I’ve actually owned her since 2014 so not a new boat to me but I’m always learning! That is a fantastic picture, I’m trying to organise a photo shoot with Jenny,will have to be post covid though. I’m interested in your spray hood, Jenny doesn’t have one but I feel it would be useful sometimes. Are you pleased with yours? Steve

Seadog Steve said: Hello,my first post on ANY forum! I’ve owned Jenny, a lovely Oysterman 22 since 2014. I agree with all your positive comments about these amazing little ships. We chartered a Shrimper 7 years ago in Falmouth but found it too small for two and a large dog to live aboard. While we on the Shrimper we spotted a well proportioned, good looking gaff cutter, we later found out it was an Oysterman, one thing led to another and we ended buying one! We keep Jenny up the Percuil River St, Mawes. She’s a great boat for the lovely cruising waters in Cornwall and is very at home. Although she carries a large sail area, it is very manageable with furling headsails and an easily reefed main. I have made several ‘improvements’, the two most useful have been fitting Anderson self tailing winches and a lifting tiller. Looking forward to sailing her later this year, hopefully!
