The 675 remains an active current model
Oyster continues to present the 675 as a core part of its present sailing-yacht range rather than a heritage design. The yacht was also promoted around the 2026 Cannes season, reinforcing its role as a current sales and owner platform for the company.
At 21.07 metres overall, the yacht stays inside LYG's upper length boundary while providing the storage, tankage and machinery normally associated with serious ocean cruising. That makes the 675 particularly relevant to owners planning long periods away from established marinas.
Large tankage supports extended passages
The current technical specification lists 1,780 litres of fuel and 1,580 litres of water, giving the yacht significant onboard autonomy for its size. A standard displacement above 40 tonnes also reflects the structure, systems and stores expected from a substantial bluewater cruiser.
Range under sail is naturally governed by weather and passage planning rather than fuel alone, but tankage matters for generator use, auxiliary propulsion and domestic consumption. Owners considering remote itineraries therefore gain practical flexibility beyond the headline dimensions of the yacht.
Push-button sailing targets smaller crews
Oyster promotes automated hydraulic sail-handling systems intended to reduce the physical workload of managing a 70-foot yacht. In-mast furling, powered systems and twin-rudder hull geometry are combined with a cockpit designed for comfortable passage-making and safe control.
This does not remove the need for competent seamanship, particularly offshore, but it changes the crew requirement for routine manoeuvres. Owners can operate with family, friends or a smaller professional team rather than designing every voyage around a large racing-style crew.
Accommodation balances guests and technical space
The hull volume provides room for generous owner and guest cabins while retaining engineering access, storage and optional crew accommodation. Oyster also allows meaningful interior customisation, enabling buyers to favour family use, occasional charter or a more expedition-oriented operating pattern.
The 675's continuing importance lies in that balance between luxury and practical passage-making. It is not simply a large sailing yacht with refined joinery; the current platform remains built around the expectation that owners may cross oceans and live aboard for extended periods.
