LINE HONOURS FOR OYSTER<br />
53 JANUS<br />
Owned by Aram Shishmanian, the justlaunched<br />
<strong>Oyster</strong> 53, JANUS, took line<br />
honours in Class C, winning the St Lucia<br />
Air & Seaports Trophy<br />
“ I took delivery of my new New Zealand<br />
built <strong>Oyster</strong> 53, Janus (the Roman god of<br />
new beginnings and transformations) in<br />
October 2003. What better way to give her a<br />
shake-down than to cross the Atlantic by<br />
participating in the ARC!<br />
During the passage we experienced a wide<br />
range of conditions, from the choppy and<br />
cold North Sea, to Force 9 across the Bay of<br />
Biscay and dead calm mid Atlantic. Other<br />
than minor issues with the radar, prior to the<br />
start of the ARC (which were promptly<br />
resolved by the <strong>Oyster</strong> Service team in Las<br />
Palmas) the boat performed magnificently.<br />
She was sturdy, comfortable and fast. So<br />
much so we won line honours for our class.<br />
Over the coming year, we plan to enjoy the<br />
Caribbean and the eastern seaboard of the<br />
US; beyond that we will let the Roman god of<br />
new beginnings guide us. ” ARAM SHISHMANIAN<br />
