RAGAMUFFIN – Flag-Blue Oyster 56 | Major 2022 Refit | Barcelona

Oyster 56 | Hull No. 34 | Built 2003 | Rob Humphreys Design | BVI Flag 

Ragamuffin is a striking flag-blue Oyster 56 and a fine example of Rob Humphreys' most successful Oyster design.

A major refit at Oyster Palma in 2022 brought her rig and systems fully up to date, including new standing rigging, a 28.8 kWh lithium power system, a new Raymarine navigation suite, inverter air conditioning, new Webasto diesel heating and twin 63A shore power.

Below deck, classic Oyster teak joinery and a versatile four-cabin layout create a warm, comfortable and practical environment for extended cruising or living aboard. Ragamuffin is cutter-rigged, with an in-mast furling mainsail and genoa and staysail on Reckmann furlers, offering a versatile sail plan for offshore cruising. BVI-flagged, VAT unpaid and lying at Port Ginesta, approximately 15 minutes from Barcelona Airport, she is conveniently located for viewings at short notice.
