The Oyster 395 Lightwave stands as a significant departure from the heavydisplacement, centercockpit cruisers that typically define the Oyster brand. Launched in the late 1980s, this model was part of a bold experiment to capture the performance cruiserracer market, blending Carl Schumacher’s Californian racing pedigree with British build quality. Unlike the "deck saloon" silhouettes that followed, the 395 Lightwave is a sleek, aftcockpit sloop designed to be competitive on the race course while remaining comfortable enough for family cruising. According to the Oyster Yachts Heritage archives, the model was produced between 1988 and 1991, with 24 hulls completed. It remains a rare find, sought after by sailors who prioritize speed and agility without sacrificing the structural integrity associated with the Oyster name.
