51 Ocean Race

Built to the exacting standards of renowned designer German Frers, this Hylas 51 Ocean Race combines competitive performance with practical comfort. With an overall length of 15.45 meters and a displacement of 18,000 kg, this used boat provides a stable and powerful platform. The vessel features a 2.6-meter draft and a mast height of 23 meters, supported by 14 deck winches for precise sail handling. The current owner has maintained the yacht for non-profit sailing, avoiding regattas or harsh weather conditions. Performance on the water is defined by the yacht’s ability to point high—achieving 30 degrees to the wind—while maintaining stability provided by its high ballast content. Updates to the vessel include a 2018 running rigging renewal using LIROS lines, a new gelcoat applied in 2020, and fresh antifouling in 2022. The 75 HP Yanmar 4JH2-HT engine is equipped with a 3-blade Gori folding propeller featuring an overdrive function to enhance fuel efficiency from the 400-liter tank. The deck layout is optimized for safety and movement, even in challenging conditions, ensuring the cockpit remains dry. Below deck, the accommodation comprises two cabins and one bathroom, designed for functional living while maintaining quality finishings. Additional technical equipment includes two alternators for 12V and 24V, stainless steel diesel fuel lines, and a comprehensive heating system with tube convectors in the aft berths and saloon, plus an aluminum radiator in the foredeck. This yacht is ideally suited for sailors who appreciate the heritage of a German Frers design and require a vessel that can be easily managed by amateurs while providing enough adjustment options to satisfy professional requirements. Its history of non-competitive use and potential for ORC certification or commercial See-BG approval make it a versatile choice. The price has been reduced to 179.000 EUR, with VAT (IVA Esposta) applicable. The yacht is located in Norddeutschland, Germany.
