The Oyster UFO 35 is a seaworthy cruiser-racer with a pedigree forged in offshore competition. Designed by Holman & Pye and built by Oyster Marine, the UFO 34 earned its reputation in iconic events like the Fastnet and Sydney–Hobart, where it proved both tough and forgiving in extreme conditions. With crisp windward performance, a well-balanced helm, and a reputation for being “virtually vice-free,” it remains a sailor’s yacht through and through. Whether you're cruising the coast or setting out offshore, the UFO 34 delivers timeless design, exceptional build quality, and the confidence to go anywhere.
