Hylas 54

A REAL bluewater cruiser from renowned builder Hylas Yachts.  This 54 has been well cared for by its current owners and comes with a lot of new gear including sails and custom electric winches. Expansive interior with ridiculous headroom includes a centerline king bed in the aft cabin with ensuite head. Galley is to Starboard and has 3 newer fridge/freezer units and a 48 bottle wine cooler. Synthetic teak decking added fall of 2021. The full beam salon boasts seating for 10+ and is modernized with flat screen tv and Fusion sound system. The portside mid berth can double as storage or sleeping quarters.  The large V-berth has entry into the guest head. All wrapped in beautiful woodwork throughout!

Currently sailing the cool, clean waters of Lake Michigan, this 54 has been upgraded to make sailing a breeze. Electric furling main and jib, and all electric cockpit winches with custom controls at helm seat make for easy adjustments underway. This is one of German Frers most highly regarded designs and is hard to beat in any way! Extensive equipment and upgrade list.
