Now offered at an unbeatable $149,000 bottom line! This 1997 Hylas 46 represents the absolute best value on the global market for a world-class, German Frers-designed bluewater cruiser. Custom-ordered by her original owner to maximize sailing performance, this hull was intentionally built light and kept mechanically simple, avoiding the weight, complexity, and maintenance headaches of factory generator and air conditioning systems. For the purist sailor or the buyer looking for a clean slate to customize their ultimate offshore voyaging machine, this vessel offers a legendary, heavy-displacement hull at a fraction of the typical market price.The Ultimate Bluewater Rigging Bonus:
While currently configured as an easily managed sloop for coastal cruising, this vessel comes complete with a comprehensive offshore cutter-rig conversion package. Buyers can easily step up to a true, dual-headsail offshore sail plan using the engineered components already included with the boat:
• Stay & Wire: Correct-diameter, uninstalled 1x19 stainless steel standing rigging wire cut to length for the inner forestay.
• Mast & Deck Hardware: Marine-grade tangs for the mast attachment point and the heavy-duty deck chainplate/pad-eye hardware required to anchor the stay to the foredeck.
• Heavy Weather Sail: A dedicated, rugged storm staysail in excellent condition, ready to hank onto the new stay for ultimate stability and safety in heavy weather.
Sail Inventory & Mechanicals:
• Headsails: Includes two options—a high-performance Kevlar Genoa for competitive edge and light-air speed, plus an additional, durable traditional cruising Genoa for long-distance voyaging.
• Mainsail: Premium Doyle Offshore mainsail (2011).
• Auxiliary Power: Powered by a reliable, original Yanmar marine diesel engine with 3,600 hours—meticulously maintained and showing plenty of mid-life longevity ahead.
• Electronics: Outfitted with a foundational Raymarine/Sirius weather navigation package (2014) at the helm.
Priced tens of thousands below any other late-90s Hylas 46 on the water, this boat is priced precisely to allow room for the next captain\'s preferred electronics, rigging updates, or climate upgrades. Currently lying in wet storage at the premier Deltaville Yachting Center, she is readily accessible for showings and easy haul-outs for survey. Do not miss this rare opportunity to own a legendary bluewater cruiser at a project-friendly price point.
