In the 82 we believe we have achieved the desired goal of a package of 'big boat' features and accommodation normally associated with yachts in the 90-foot plus range. This is all to do with CAD optimisation, maximising effective waterline length and the trend towards beam, not just in the amidships area but to create more usable volume at the ends. The key here is to accomplish these criteria without compromising potential performance and with a profile that is aesthetically pleasing. Once again the team looked towards yachts far larger than our new Oyster 82 for inspiration.
