## A first in 53 years
Oyster Yachts, the British builder known for bluewater monohulls, has unveiled the first sailing catamaran in its history.

> Oyster Yachts is sailing into new territory.
## Owners asked for it
The company says buyers shifted toward multihulls as their lives changed, and prospective owners wanted an Oyster with two hulls.

> We have always evolved by listening to our owners.
## Three boats in one
Drawn with French firm Berret-Racoupeau, the C60 aims for multihull stability and space, motor yacht luxury, and sailing yacht performance in 64 feet.
## Deck that opens up
Wide doors link the salon to an aft deck with fold-out platforms that become waterside terraces. A shared bar, a recessed foredeck lounge and a flybridge round it out.
## Private owner's suite
The owner's cabin sits away from guest and crew areas and carries Oyster's triple Seascape windows. Three more cabins, all en suite, handle long trips with family.
## Built for long passages
Preliminary specs call for twin 110 hp engines and about 1,300 square feet of mainsail. Up to three feet of bridgedeck clearance helps offshore. No speed or range figures yet.
## Key takeaway

Oyster's C60 is a bet that its bluewater buyers now want two hulls, with the space and stability that come with them.
