GUNDAMAIN is totally set up for world cruising.  There has been a phenomenal amount of input in every detail aboard the yacht to make her practical, safe and easy to use for crossing oceans. With her carbon spar and extraordinarily thoughtful specification she is very special. She has always had crew and her maintenance schedule is punishing including new rigging of late and many other recent and useful updates.  A separate list of additional equipment as well as a pictorial record of additional equipment is available on request.  

GUNDAMAIN is an Oyster 655, which is the very similar predecessor to the 665 model; now superseded by the 675. She is Hull number 10, built by SYS in Southampton and delivered new to the present owners in April of 2009.

During build and commissioning, a consultant - experienced as an Oyster 72 Captain, and with an extensive background in cruising in the Arctic and Antarctic advised on the design and specification and acted as owner’s representative.

The yacht has been continuously maintained and operated since new by the same husband and wife captain and crew. She is in great operating condition, ready to continue cruising the world.

The owner chartered Oyster 655 hull #1 prior to the build of GUNDAMAIN, and made many modifications to GUNDAMAIN’s basic design based on that charter and upon advice received from various experienced yacht skippers.

The yacht has cruised in the UK, Baltic, Mediterranean, the Arctic, Caribbean, Western Canada and throughout the Pacific to Australia and New Zealand. She is now in Palma de Mallorca.

She is easily operated by 2 people (captain and crew) and has been insured for operation by 2 crew members in all waters including the Arctic and Pacific.

During passages she routinely covers 180 to 190 miles per day under sail without being pushed, and is very well mannered on all points of sail. She comes with an extensive list of spares, and a bullet-proof configuration designed to facilitate very long periods of off-grid cruising. She has had extensive refits and continuous maintenance, meaning that all systems are in good order. She has a huge inventory of spare parts.

She was built to MCA Category 2 standards. Until recently she was MCA certified, but since she has never been chartered this was allowed to lapse recently.

RCD Status: The yacht conforms with the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorised A – “Ocean”

Hull:

·         The Oyster 655 hull is a composite moulded construction from female tools developed by Oyster.

·         The hull is produced using a polyester gelcoat and vinylester laminating resin. Vinylester resin is recognised as having excellent UV resistance and waterproofing qualities and is suitable for use in a tropical environment.

·         A high-tech custom, monolithic (single-skin) E-glass/carbon/Kevlar composite laminate is used with structural engineering by High Modulus.

·         The monolithic system is a ‘balanced’ laminate that has been designed to give ultimate structural properties between the laminate layers. This offers significant weight savings, strength and stiffness advantages over a normal GRP construction, carbon for weight and stiffness, Kevlar for impact resistance.

·         The composite hull skin is reinforced with a matrix of stringers and floors both above and below the waterline, this produces a robust structure with excellent strength to weight qualities and proven longevity.

·         Water tight bulkheads ahead and astern of bow sail locker, and ahead of lazarette locker.

·         Additional reinforcements are included in the way of the keel recess, the keel longitudinals, mast bulkhead, P-bracket, forestay and hull stringers.

·         Limber holes are installed at appropriate points.

·         Stringers, bulkhead-landings and floors are formed over a non-structural, inert polyurethane foam.

·         A sacrificial zinc anode is bolted through the hull and grounded to the rudder bearing, P-bracket, engine and generator cooling water seacocks, gearbox and shaft log.

·         Manufacturers’ standard zincs are fitted as appropriate to the generator and bow-thruster.

·         Copperbot application at build with 2 additional coats applied 2012, the system is working well and is in good condition.  On haul out 2015 it required only a wash down to remove minor growth.

Hull and Deck Construction:

·         The hull and deck connection is achieved by the deck sitting on a return flange moulded into the hull.

·         The deck edge incorporates a bulwark, which facilitates relatively flat side decks whilst providing a good foothold when working the yacht in a seaway.

·         The top of this bulwark is clean GRP finish with a ‘rolled’ edge

·         6 x 38mm (1.5”) internal scupper drains are installed along the deck edge preventing topsides from staining when decks are washed down.

Deck construction:

·         The sub deck laminate incorporates end-grain balsa for both insulation and panel stiffness which is replaced with either marine plywood, or high-density foam in high load areas, all engineered by High Modulus with E-glass used throughout

·         The foredeck has a recessed locker, the top part of which may be used for the stowage of a kedge anchor, warps, etc. with hinged lids and a flush-fitting locking device. The lower part of this forms the anchor chain locker.

·         There is a large locker on the aft deck which will allow the stowage of two 13kg propane type, or other bottle gas cylinders. This locker drains overboard and has a flush hinged lid.

·         Aft, a custom Rondal flush hatch, fitted with twin gas struts, drain channels, rubber seal and positive closing, gives access to a full width, large lazarette locker.

·         The aft coachroof has 2 Lewmar deck hatches. The starboard hatch provides access to the owner’s cabin, the second portside hatch gives light and ventilation to the owner’s cabin.

·         Forward of the mast, between the coachroof coamings, there is a great area for sunbathing

·         Engine room ventilation to the sides of the saloon, and the locker in the swim platform – these can be both be sealed with screw in cover plates during very rough weather.

·         There is a sail locker forward, aft of the anchor locker which is fitted with a flush teak laid hatch.

Deck Finishes:

·         The teak decking is laid in 48mm wide (approximately) teak planking. The deck has never been coated, chemically treated or heavily scrubbed.

Keel & Rudder:

·         The keel is a high performance bulb manufactured as a lead casting with approximately 2% antimonial hardening. Ballast weight is approximately 12,050kg / 26,510lb.

·         The hull has a GRP keel stub incorporating a wide footprint area and facilitating secure attachment of the ballast keel.

·         This stub creates a deep bilge sump with limber holes allowing easy evacuation of bilge water.

·         The keel is bolted to the GRP keel stub with nickel aluminium bronze bolts.

·         A stainless steel rudder stock is bonded to the rudder, which has a substantial GRP blade, foam filled. This is fitted to a solid, protective skeg.

·         The bottom pintle is attached by way of a through-bolted bronze heel casting.

·         The rudder upper bearing has its own greaser and incorporates top and bottom roller bearings.

·         The top of the rudder stock terminates at deck level and is covered by a stainless steel screw-in deck plate.  This is for the use of a stainless steel emergency tiller, which has stowage provided within the lazarette locker.

Engine & Gearboxes:

·         A single Perkins/Sabre M185C, 6-cylinder, turbo-charged, diesel engine of maximum potential power of 136kW (187hp) at 2,100rpm is fitted.

·         The gearbox is a ZF63A gearbox, which gives a reduction of 2:1.

·         A Halyard Marine GRP exhaust water separator and GRP waterlock system.

·         Aquadrive couplings at the inboard end of the shaft to allow the engine to be flexibly mounted and to reduce noise and vibration.

Description of layout:

GUNDAMAIN has 8 berths, in 4 cabins, without using the saloon for sleeping, with 3 heads and showers. Each cabin has a hanging locker and a mirror fitted.

The aft cabin is configured with a large double berth offset to port of the centreline, with reading lights and with under-berth drawers, a settee, dressing table and a pair of large hanging lockers, with good drawer and locker space. Outboard of the berth, to port and starboard are two bookcases. This cabin also has a companionway hatch entrance from the aft deck, via a deck hatch and a ladder offset to starboard. The aft cabin settee can be converted to a sea-berth with light blue Alcantara fabric – fitted with a lee cloth (which is white canvas, not blue). A door forward to port leads to the en-suite toilet and separate stall shower. The shower stall is lit.  There are 2 large hanging file cabinets and a desk and seat with power outlets and wired internet outlets against the engine bulkhead and sound proofing on the cabin sole and aft bulkhead.  There is a custom storage bin in the deck head and chart storage under the berth.  There is a dedicated shoe stowage bin, shelves in the large starboard locker and fitted bedding and lee cloths.  There is a wall fan, and a B&G slave readout on the port bulkhead and a TV above the desk on the forward bulkhead, and independent heat and A/C controls in the stateroom.

A door from the cabin leads into the passageway running forward beneath the starboard guest cockpit seat.

Forward of the master cabin, also accessed from a door leading off this passageway, is the crew cabin on the starboard side. This cabin is ventilated by a hull port that may be opened, when in harbour or at anchor, and an overhead coachroof port. This cabin is modified to delete the upper bunk berth. The lower berth is raised to provide a workbench surface when needed, and has extensive custom storage above and below for all boat manuals and many tools and spares. There is a large shelved locker for spares and clothes.  There is also a custom compartment for slide out printer, fax, scanner and copier.  There is a wall fan and independent controls for heating and air conditioning. There is a lee cloth on the single berth.

Centrally, to port in this passageway is the access to the engine room. The engine bearers form a self-contained sump to contain and prevent any oil spillage running into the main bilge area. The engine room is built of Barrifloor (or equivalent) sound insulating plywood and the entire area is insulated with a foam and barrier insulation using 60mm of foam with two layers of high-density polymer sandwiched between it. Access via three hinged doors located in the passageway through to the aft cabin. The engine room has 24v lighting and 2 x 100mm (4”) Jabsco blowers are installed and switched at the DC electrical panel, for extract. The two extract fans are ducted to removable cowls at the aft end of the aft coachroof. They are designed to be used to evacuate the hot air from the engine space after the engine has been shut down, not to run continuously.

Access to the deck saloon from the cockpit is via a set of teak timber steps, with timber and stainless steel handrails. A vertical drop-down smoked acrylic washboard is installed in a sealed box, which drains to the bilge. Flush-fitting locks enable the washboard to be set at two different heights.

The saloon features a large, curved, l-shaped settee to starboard and a shorter curved settee to port in blue Alcantara with throw cushions. Central to the l-shaped settee a fixed table is installed that features a fold-over leaf, to substantially increase size, allowing full use of the seating on both sides of the saloon, for maximum table setting space. It can be easily used as a smaller, more casual, table when not dining. There are 2 aluminium chairs which can be used for comfortable dining for 8. A handrail is fixed to the inboard side of the upper table leaf, to provide a firm handhold for moving fore and aft through the saloon whilst at sea. There is a TV on a lift on the port side of the saloon and a Dolby 5.1 sound system.  There is an icemaker on the port side.  All the curtains were replaced 2015

The central pedestal for the table base houses a useful locker, with a shelf in the top. The lower part is fitted out for bottle stowage.

The Navigation station is to starboard of the companionway with a custom navigation seat (as normally found aboard a motor yacht) and with PC, Recording barometer and all instruments.  Panels for 24 volt and 220/100 volt systems are just aft of navigation station.  There is stowage for charts, books, instruments.  There is a large wet locker located inboard of the navigation station under the companion way steps. This locker is naturally heated by the engine and/or generator.

Down 2 steps, aft of the saloon to port, the U-shaped galley provides a spacious, safe area to work in whilst at sea; it has been extensively customized with Custom Avonite worktops and splash back. There is good worktop space, a gimballed gas cooker, plentiful overhead lockers and twin sinks. Above the sinks an opening port light provides ventilation from the guest cockpit foot well. Aft of the cooker is a large, top-opening freezer box, fitted with two wire baskets. Forward of the cooker is one stainless steel front-opening refrigerators – the other is at the aft end of the galley. There is custom storage for provisions in baskets beneath the galley sole, all crockery, utensils and glassware has custom stowage.  GUNDAMAIN is equipped with all the cooking implements and tools that a professional chef would require.

Two lockers provide safe storage for stowage of crockery and glasses.

2 steps forward to port lead down to a passageway forward, past the keel-stepped mast, to where three doors open into the forward accommodation. There is a provision for a privacy curtain to be placed in the passage near the mast so that the cabins forward can be screened off from the main salon.

To port is a day heads and shower compartment that is shared by the occupants of the port forward cabin.

Right forward, to port, is a 2 to 3 berth crew cabin. The lower berth in this cabin can be customized to be an outboard single or a full width double. The upper berth can fold down to provide a back rest in the event the cabin is used as a crew lounge, or can be raised above horizontal to maximize the interior cabin space. The cabin has two hanging lockers, a fold down desk unit, and lockers under the lower berth. There is a B&G slave unit on the forward bulkhead and a stereo head unit.  This cabin has shares the use of the port head. The port head has two doors, one from the forward port cabin, and one from the passageway adjacent to the mast.

To starboard the third passageway door leads to a double guest cabin.
