Discover the HYLAS 51 OCEAN RACE, an exceptional sailing yacht known for its speed and remarkable design. Designed by the renowned German Frers, this yacht combines comfort, high-end equipment, and exhilarating performance at sea. 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 yacht is ready to deliver outstanding performance even when sailing up to 30° or more into the wind. Its stability is ensured by a significant ballast load, guaranteeing safe and enjoyable navigation.
Easy to maneuver, this yacht is suitable for both amateurs and experienced sailors who will appreciate the range of adjustable settings. The deck offers a spacious and secure area, even in challenging conditions, while the cockpit remains protected and dry. Its sleek hull cuts through waves with ease, providing precise and responsive steering comparable to that of a dinghy.
This HYLAS 51 has already had three owners, all passionate about comfortable cruising, without participating in regattas or extreme conditions. The boat conforms to ORC standards and has received See-BG certification for commercial voyages, renewed in 2018 (though never used).
For maintenance, this yacht has been regularly updated: running rigging replaced in 2018, new gelcoat in 2020, and antifouling applied in 2022. The electronic navigation equipment is complete: bi-directional AIS, MeteoFax with longwave reception, wireless remote autopilot, Garmin GPSMAP 8417 MFD plotter, Garmin radar, VHF radio at the navigation station with secondary unit at the helm, forward sounder, and satellite phone prep.
The deck is equipped with a 15 kg CQR anchor with 50 meters of chain and a mooring line, an electric windlass, a stainless steel swim ladder, along with 12 Barient winches (including 2 electric for genoa sheets) 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 heating system. The galley features a Force10 three-burner gas stove, an oven with grill, two sinks, and a refrigerator/freezer of approximately 30 liters operating on 24V/230V.
For safety, an approved life raft for 12 persons is onboard. The sailing rig includes specific equipment for spinnakers with a carbon boom and aluminum jockey boom, as well as a Navtek hydraulic halyard at the helm station.
Technical details include a Gori folding three-blade propeller with overdrive function to optimize fuel consumption, two alternators for 12V and 24V systems, stainless steel diesel conduits, and tubular radiators under the aft cabins and in the salon, with an aluminum radiator on the bow deck. The drogue anchors, various mooring ropes, six standard keel wings, and eight inflatable wings, easy to stow and inflate, complete this superb yacht ready to set sail for new adventures.
