FOX'S PROVIDE GREAT SERVICE FOR OYSTERS
(and other yachts too)

“I acquired 'Arabella', a 1988 built Oyster 53, through Oyster Brokerage in 1997.

She immediately went through a major refit at Fox's, including re-caulking the decks, refitting the deck saloon windows, new running and standing rigging and repainting all spars. After 20,000 miles sailing I returned to Fox's from the Caribbean for her second major refit including the fitting of a custom high performance keel, modified rudder, stretched stern (to make her a '55') and a new generator.

Arabella

The keel was a particularly demanding exercise. Three years later after a 600-ton dredger tore into 'Arabella' on her mooring I returned to Fox's to repair a large hole in her starboard topsides, at the same time I replaced the engine and the complete rig after a spreader was torn off half way across the Atlantic. I chose Fox's because they have the expertise and experience to deal with difficult jobs and they were cost competitive. I have always found the management and staff good to deal with. Practical and fair with a boat building heritage stretching back generations...”
