Hylas Yachts Hylas 51

Discover the HYLAS 51 OCEAN RACE, an exceptional sailboat that impresses with its speed and remarkable design. Designed by the renowned German Frers, this boat masterfully combines comfort, high-end equipment, and exhilarating sailing sensations. With a draft of 2.6 meters, an impressive mast height of 23 meters, and no less than 14 winches distributed across the deck, this sailboat is ready to deliver outstanding performance, even when the wind blows at 30° or more close-hauled. Its stability is ensured by significant ballast, guaranteeing safe and enjoyable navigation.

Easy to handle, this sailboat is suitable for both amateurs and experienced sailors who will appreciate the richness of adjustable settings. The deck offers a generous and secure space, even in challenging conditions, while the cockpit remains protected and dry. Its sleek hull cuts through the waves with ease, providing precise and reactive steering comparable to that of a dinghy.

This HYLAS 51 has already had three owners, all passionate about leisurely cruises, without regatta participation or extreme conditions navigation. The boat complies with ORC standards and has received a See-BG certification for commercial voyages, renewed in 2018 (although never used).

For maintenance, this sailboat has been regularly updated: running rigging replaced in 2018, new gelcoat in 2020, and antifouling applied in 2022. The electronic navigation equipment is comprehensive: bi-directional AIS, MeteoFax with longwave reception, wireless remote autopilot, Garmin GPSMAP 8417 MFD chartplotter, Garmin radar, VHF radio at the navigation station with secondary unit at the helm, depth sounder, and satellite phone readiness.

The deck is equipped with a 15 kg CQR anchor with 50 meters of chain and a snubber, an electric windlass, a stainless steel swim ladder, 12 Barient winches (including 2 electric for the genoas), and a recent GNX Windex. Pressurized water, multifunction LED lighting system, teak cockpit, and several bilge pumps (automatic and manual) complete the setup.

Inside, comfort is provided by a 40-liter Isotherm water heater, a Katadyn Power Survivor desalinator, a Victron 1500 W inverter, and a programmable Webasto ThermoPro 90 heater. The galley features a Force10 three-burner gas stove, an oven with grill, two sinks, and an approximately 30-liter fridge/freezer operating on 24V/230V.

For safety, an approved life raft for 12 people is on board. In terms of sails, the boat is equipped with a dedicated spinnaker rig featuring a carbon boom and an aluminum jockey boom, as well as a Navtek hydraulic halyard at the helm station.

Technically, it includes a Gori folding three-blade propeller with overdrive function to optimize fuel consumption, dual alternators for 12V and 24V systems, stainless steel diesel pipes, tubular heaters under the aft berths and in the salon, and an aluminum radiator on the bow deck.
