Oyster Yachts launches centreboard keel option for 745 model

New super-shallow draft centreboard option provides access to secluded bays and shallow inlets, whilst still delivering high-spec upwind performance

Oyster's popular 745 model is now available with a super-shallow draft centreboard option, enabling this highly-popular blue water cruising yacht to safely access some of the world's most secluded shallow bays, rivers and small marinas, further enhancing her bluewater credentials.

By providing the option of a hydraulically operated retractable centreboard, the draft of the Oyster 745 is reduced from 3.10m (10'2") to just 1.98m (6'6") at the touch of button from the helm station. The centreboard swings up inside shallow-draft ballast keel ensuring it does not compromise the open-plan, spacious layout or interior joinery within the 745.
