The Oyster 62 Sailboat
Specs & Key Performance Indicators

The Oyster 62 was introduced in 1999 and replaced the Oyster 61 model. 
I could not find any definitive information on when the production of the Oyster 62 ended, but it seems that it was replaced by the Oyster 625 model in 2013. The Oyster 625 has a similar design but with some improvements, such as a longer waterline, a larger sail area, and a more spacious interior.
As for how many Oyster 62s were built, I found a list of 32 hull numbers on the Oyster Owners website, but I cannot verify if this is the complete list or if there are more. You may want to contact Oyster Yachts directly for more accurate information. Here is their website: https://oysteryachts.com/

The Oyster 62 has two keel options: a standard fin keel, which has a draft of 8.5 ft (2.6m) and a ballast of 24,250 lbs (11,000 kg), and a shoal draft keel, which has a draft of 6.9 ft (2.1m) and a ballast of 26,455 lbs (12,000 kg). 

The Oyster 62 is a fast and comfortable cruiser, with excellent performance under sail. It has a light displacement of 66,139 lbs (30,000 kg) and a long waterline of 53.15 ft (16.2 m), which give it a good speed potential. It has a balanced helm and responsive handling, with twin wheels for easy access to the cockpit. It can sail well in light winds, thanks to its large sail area and efficient hull shape.

The average cost of a secondhand Oyster 62 depends on the year, condition, equipment, and location of the boat. According to YachtWorld, the current listings for Oyster 62 range from $999,998 USD to £778,450 GBP (about $1,078,000 USD), with an average price of £735,000 GBP (about $808,000 USD).
