43' Oyster Om43 Jet 2010

Offered by the renowned sailing yacht builder Oyster Marine, SALLY LIGHTFOOT is hull number 20 of 20 built.

The Oyster OM43 is a hand-built Express Cruiser with twin jet reliability and double-cabin comfort. The boat is easy to take out for an afternoon yet has the accommodation and amenities for longer cruises. It is full of design features made famous on Oysters sailing yachts:  a refrigerated cockpit table, flip-out anchoring system, comfortable interiors, practical galley and detailed joinery work. Systems and machinery are easily accessible. The master cabin is huge with large centerline queen, and the guest cabin with two twins can be converted to a double berth with insert. The large head features a separate stall shower. The main bridge deck with settee and galley has a 360-degree seated view. The aft cockpit is a great place to relax and has a retractable bimini frame. The bulkhead door slides open with upper panels that drop down to create an “open” feel between cockpit and bridge area.

SALLY LIGHTFOOT has been well-cared-for and lightly used. Stored indoors during winters, there are only 295 hours on the Cummins 480hp engines and 18 hours on the generator. The hull topsides were repainted in 2019. Machinery and bilge spaces are spotless.

If you are considering a quality built offshore capable express cruiser, SALLY LIGHTFOOT is worthy of inspection.
