A yacht well known to us; we handled the sale to the current owner. She then underwent a mammoth refit leaving most of the original yacht either replaced or rebuilt - new engine, generator, electronics, paint and teak. Kitted to the enth. Described by Oyster at the start of the ARC 2013 as “Stunningly Presented”.

My wife would say it was the washing machine, Aircon, island bed and power shower that made it a joy to live on. I would say it was the go anywhere ability, full sail wardrobe and the joy of owning an Oyster which is recognized around the world. SEPHINA is kitted out better than many big Oysters that we have met and at 40ft you can walk anywhere below without bumping your head. Two years ago we spent £130,000 refurbishing her and we don’t regret a penny. She is “turnkey” for Ocean crossing with everything you could possibly need.  We will be sad to see her go but family life moves on.

RCD Status: Our understanding is that the yacht is exempt from the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) as she was built and placed into use within the EU prior to 1998.
