The Persuasion<br />
of a Sceptic…<br />
By Katherine Savage, <strong>Oyster</strong> 62, VENTURE<br />
10 www.oystermarine.com<br />
an affair to remember<br />
Katherine and Pete Savage with grandaughters Lucie and Leslie <strong>Oyster</strong> 62, Venture, Class Winner in the Marion Bermuda Race<br />
Denizens of the deep conspired for many years with Mal de Mer and Mother Nature to<br />
diminish my full participation in sailing. Until, <strong>Oyster</strong> <strong>Yachts</strong> came into my life.<br />
It was love at first sight. "Now this is a boat I could spend time on." Unknowingly, powerful<br />
and prophetic words, spoken by me at the Annapolis Boat Show several years ago. I (the<br />
sceptic) had just gone aboard TALISMAN, an <strong>Oyster</strong> 6l. I was exhilarated by the airy raised<br />
deck saloon, and the spaciousness of the aft cabin. The headroom was but one of the many<br />
features that impressed me. Peter (the sailor) was exhilarated by the fact that his wife<br />
(whose preferred mode of travel is at an altitude of 32 thousand feet, with accommodations<br />
following at a Four Seasons or Relais and Châteaux recommended hotel) expressed interest,<br />
let alone delight, in any sailing yacht. And, so our love affair with <strong>Oyster</strong> <strong>Yachts</strong> began.
