The 885 yacht is the largest Oyster built in the UK to date and incorporates Superyacht technology, such as a Lewmar CW3500 captive reel winch for the mainsheet. On 725-01 yacht, the sail control hydraulics are powered via the main power-pack, a feature normally found only on larger vessels. This enables stress-free and simple adjustment of the Navtec sail control functions.
