Discover the HYLAS 51 OCEAN RACE, an exceptional sailing yacht that impresses with its speed and remarkable design. Designed by the renowned German Frers, this boat skillfully combines comfort, high-end equipment, and thrills at sea. With a draft of 2.6 meters, an impressive mast height of 23 meters, and no less than 14 winches distributed fore and aft, this yacht is ready to deliver outstanding performance even when wind blows at 30° or more close-hauled. Its stability is ensured by substantial ballast weight, guaranteeing safe and enjoyable navigation.
Easy to maneuver, this yacht suits both amateurs and experienced sailors who will appreciate the wealth of adjustable options. The deck offers generous and secure space, even in challenging conditions, while the cockpit remains protected and dry. Its smooth hull slices 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 quiet cruising, without participating in regattas or navigating in extreme conditions. The boat complies with ORC standards and has been certified by See-BG for commercial voyages, renewed in 2018 (although never used).

Pressurized water, a multifunction LED lighting system, a teak cockpit, and several bilge pumps (automatic and manual) complete the setup.
