Having already completed a circumnavigation as part of the Oyster World Rally under her previous ownership, this well-found Oyster 56 was due for various maintenance and service work, which her new owners, Joakim and Cecilia Furusten from Stockholm, were happy to entrust to Fox’s.
The Furustens are experienced sailors – Joakim has completed a transatlantic in the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers and their last boat was a high performance Elan 350, which they keenly raced. Alongside family and work commitments, the couple intend to spend the next few seasons familiarising themselves with Bliss, prior to embarking on their own circumnavigation and we wish them fair winds and great sailing as they set sail on their big adventure.
