Boat DescriptionDesigners Holman & Pye have drawn a hull with clean lines and a keel that is large enough to ensure good directional stability in heavy weather. The 406 is well balanced and her protected skeg hung rudder provides positive control while steering remains light and responsive. The design features an encapsulated ballast casting which, with the absence of keelbolts, is virtually maintenance free. In common with all good cruising yachts, the Oyster 406 will dry out alongside level fore & aft on her own keel.
PerformanceUnder power, the 406 uses her long 34’9″ waterline to best advantage as her standard engine gives over 8 knots at full power. The 406 does better than 7 knots at just over 2000 rpm, which indicates the potential for low noise level cruising. Cruising range under power is up to 800 miles.
