Builder	Oyster Marine/Landamores			Year	1983
Builder	Oyster Marine/Landamores			Price	£35,000
LOA	34' 4"	Sail area	-	Brief details
LWL	27' 3"	Rig	fractional sloop	Sometimes called a Hustler SJ35 the Oyster SJ35 is a 3/4 Ton rated IOR cruiser-racer. The SJ35 is a cruiser-racer, but definitely towards the racier end of the spectrum, with a large and very tunable twin-spreader fractional rig with runners. The accommodation is fairly spacious, but simply and lightly fitted out. This yacht has newish sails and standing rigging, and the engine was recently completely rebuilt by the local Yanmar agents. The hull is epoxied below the waterline.

Displacement	8,550 lbs	Engine	Yanmar 2GMF
Ballast	-	BHP	18
Keel type	Lead fin keel and spade rudder
Confusingly, as well as this design, the Oyster Hustler SJ35, there was also an Oyster 35 design (a centre cockpit cruiser designed by Holman and Pye) , and a Hustler 35 (also a Holman & Pye design, but an early IOR fin-and-skeg cruiser-racer, very like a bigger Hustler 30)

Oyster Marine have built a range of yachts since the 1970s, from 26 foot upwards. In the 1980s Oyster's range included pure cruisers, cruiser-racers and outright racing boats. The Stephen Jones designed Hustler SJ35 and the Oyster 39, which were IOR 3/4 Ton and One Ton Cup class cruiser-racers, were both based on successful one-off racing designs. There was also a Hustler 36 and a larger Oyster 43 cruiser-racer by Stephen Jones. SJ35s still race offshore with some success, given good crews and sails.

The engine is at the forward end of the saloon, to keep weight amidships, driving a folding prop through a long shaft. Oyster SJ35s were built from around 1981 to at least 1990, with some later boats perhaps also built. The wedge-shaped keel design was changed to an 'chopped elliptical' profile around 1989. Some SJ35s were built with berths in the forecabin, but this yacht has the forepeak used solely as sail stowage.

Through the 1980s Oyster started to move into the larger cruising boat market, although still producing the SJ35 and other cruiser-racer models to special order.

In recent years Oyster has moved to production of large - in fact near superyacht standard - deck saloon cruisers, the current range having 46 foot as the smallest length, with 82 ft the largest in production, though 100 foot plus models are reportedly planned.



	The engine box is in the forward part of the saloon. The saloon windows have been rebedded and resealed, with new (and not yet finished varnishing) interior trim on the inside. The freshwater cooled Yanmar 2GMF diesel was removed and completely rebuilt by Cellar Marine, Yanmar agents, in June 2009.
