Eddie Jordan's new Oyster 495 Tuga is outstanding in every way.

As the second yacht delivered from the Oyster 495 production line, this "little treasure" already meets Eddie Jordan's desire for outstanding speed and performance at the Oyster Palma Regatta.

Watch here as Eddie explains why he chose the 'baby of the Oyster fleet', why he "hates white boats" and the environmental significance of his new yacht's name.

With 20 Oyster 495's already sold since it was premiered in London in April, and shortlisted in the luxury cruiser category of the European Yacht of the Year Awards, the Oyster 495 certainly combines outstanding race performance within a luxury blue water cruiser.
