And, of course, her current owner, Hugh Davies, was also the original creator of this ROC Website and Blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\"><strong>******** STOP PRESS : Good news &#8211; it looks as if Hugh\u2019s stepson, Owen,  is going to take on looking after Oyster Boy as a live-aboard<\/strong> *****<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, Hugh is now selling Oyster Boy, and we would like to help him find her a deserving new home. Much work has been done to her hull recently by a renowned classic yacht specialist on the East Coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oyster Boy was originally built in 1943 by Frank Curtis in Looe as a Pinnace for the admiralty. She was later converted to a Private Yacht in 1957.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a serious interest in Oyster Boy please contact the Club at Rampartmotoryachts@hotmail.com and we will put you in touch with Hugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although Oyster Boy is not a Rampart, she is a fine Classic&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1392,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,16,1],"tags":[92],"class_list":["post-1393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boats-for-sale","category-news","category-uncategorized","tag-national-historic-ships"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1393"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1393\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1411,"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1393\/revisions\/1411"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rampartownersclub.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
