Designed by the legendary naval architect German Frers and built by Queen Long Marine, this Hylas 54 represents the pinnacle of offshore capability. Measuring 16.45 meters, this vessel is engineered for serious blue water sailing, featuring a robust construction with Twaron aramid fiber reinforcements and vinylester resins. Its long fin keel and skeg-hung rudder provide superior directional stability and confidence in demanding sea conditions, while the cutter rig ensures a versatile sail plan easily managed by smaller crews. Following an extensive 2023–2024 refit, this specific Hylas 54 has been restored to an excellent standard. Significant upgrades include a brand-new 12 mm teak deck, fully repainted hull and deck, and a complete overhaul of the engine and generator. Further mechanical and aesthetic improvements comprise a new propeller shaft, new navigation and boom lights, updated window frames, new refrigeration, and professionally cleaned diesel tanks. The standing rigging has been replaced, and the mast and boom now feature fresh white paint. The interior layout is perfectly suited for extended cruising, offering a spacious configuration with three cabins and two baths. The aft master suite is a highlight, featuring a central queen-sized bed, generous storage, and a private head with a separate shower. The salon is finished with high-quality teak cabinetry, providing a warm, bright atmosphere for life at sea. Practical details such as deep lockers, secure handholds, and a forward-facing navigation station demonstrate the boat's true offshore heritage. Currently lying in Italy and flying the Italian flag, this vessel is VAT paid. This Hylas 54 has seen its price reduced, making it a highly competitive offering for discerning yachtsmen. The owner is open to considering trade-ins for smaller sailboats. Please note that the brokerage commission is not included in the asking price.
