Hylas 51 Ocean Race used

Experience the performance and classic design of this Hylas 51 Ocean Race. Designed by German Frers, this 15.45-meter vessel serves as a unique example of maritime engineering, balancing high-speed sailing capabilities with essential onboard comfort. Featuring a 2.6-meter draft and a mast height of 23 meters, it is built to handle challenging conditions while remaining safe and responsive under sail. With 14 deck winches and sophisticated trimming options, it caters to both experienced sailors and those looking for an engaging, maneuverable yacht that handles like a dinghy. This used boat offers a secure deck layout, ensuring safe movement even in heavy seas, while maintaining a dry cockpit environment. The current owner has prioritized non-profit sailing, avoiding heavy weather or regatta stresses. Notable maintenance updates include renewed running rigging in 2018, fresh gelcoat applied in 2020, and new antifouling in 2022. The vessel includes its original design documentation and maintains a high ballast content for stability. Well-suited for the enthusiast looking for a spirited vessel capable of high-angle sailing—reaching 30 degrees or more into the wind—this yacht also holds potential for commercial certification, having previously met See-BG requirements. Its layout includes two cabins and one bath, providing a base level of comfort for extended passages or coastal exploration. This yacht is currently available in Germany for 179.000 EUR. Please note that the price has been reduced, and the vessel is offered with VAT displayed (IVA Esposta). Detailed specifications are available upon request for serious inquiries.
