OBERON is designed and built for both inland and offshore cruising.
OBERON 56 does not conform to any specific conventional “Dutch” style; very much a meld between English and Dutch barges; she features a standard “English” counter and swim stern. This could be removed and replaced with a proper Dutch style, but space in the aft end would be lost.
This is a popular size as there are already four afloat. The design features low freeboard sections to allow easier boarding access. The design is intended for two people to live aboard/cruise aboard for several years: the wheelhouse is intended just as a wheelhouse and not to double as a deck saloon thus keeping living private.
Single engine 80-125hp recommended. She has a Schilling rudder as standard which provides excellent manoeuvreability even at very low speeds therefore obviates the need for a bow thruster.
Design could be shrunk slightly to under 15m and be modified to incorporate an aft cabin.
Number 1 took a sea trip up the East Coast from the Thames estuary in force 5 winds and seas, just to make sure should could handle it. Carried out without undue problems and with no water across the decks.
