In 1973 Richard Matthews commissioned Holman & Pye to design him a new racing yacht. This was done for his newly formed company Oyster Marine. UFO became the very first Oyster product. She was built during the winter of 1973/74. She was very successful in her first year, winning the Royal Yacht Squadron Da Maas Trophy at Cowes.

UFO also competed in the Commodores Cup at Burnham Week in 1974, but she did not win. 30 years later with 70% of the original crew she has won the Commodores Cup at Burnham Week 2004 with Richard Matthews again at the helm.

UFO has benefited from an extensive refit at Fox's Marina in Ipswich during the summer of 2004, including restoring her to the original colours and livery. She is now for sale with a October 2007 survey. We are not getting enough use from UFO to justify keeping her sadly. If you are looking for a boat with history thats good for cruising or racing then surely you wont find a better yacht at this price. The price reflects our desire to sell quickly and not her condition!
