Step aboard MANA, a 2024 Excess 14 that’s been set up the right way for owners who actually want to sail and cruise off grid. The Excess platform (VPLP design) is known for delivering more helm feel and sailing efficiency than most production cats in this size range, and this boat leans into that with the Tall Rig “Pulse Line” package, a clean deck layout, and serious short handed capability. Where MANA really separates herself is the energy and autonomy package. A 990Ah Victron lithium bank, Victron inverter and management, and over 2000W of solar make this a true no generator cruising setup by design. Add Starlink Gen 2, a 50 LPH watermaker, washer dryer, and full boat air conditioning (3 units, 5 zones), and you’ve got a late model performance cruising cat that’s properly equipped to live aboard and roam.

Design, Models & Real-World Ownership Tradeoffs Which Hylas Fits Your Cruising Plans? Hosted by David Walters Yachts President Josh McLean and DWY Sales Director Erik Haaland. Buying (or moving up within) the Hylas fleet is rarely about “bigger is better.” It’s about fit—how the boat’s design choices translate into the way you’ll actually cruise: day-to-day handling, comfort at anchor, passagemaking confidence, maintenance load, and long-term satisfaction. This practical, experience-driven session breaks down the major Hylas models and generations through the lens of real ownership—not brochure claims. We’ll unpack how layout, displacement, sail plan, and systems complexity change the experience underway and at rest, and why two boats that look similar on paper can feel radically different over a season (or a crossing). Topics include: Hylas design philosophy—and how it has evolved over time Key differences between major models (46, 48, 49, 54, 56, 57, 63, & 70) Performance vs. comfort tradeoffs—and how they shape cruising style Crew requirements, systems complexity, and maintenance realities Matching the right Hylas to coastal cruising, offshore passagemaking, or liveaboard plans Common “why this model” decision points owners cite after living aboard and cruising Who this webinar is for: Buyers deciding between Hylas models (or between “classic” and “modern” Hylas generations) Current owners considering a move up/down in size Cruisers who want to reduce surprises by understanding ownership tradeoffs before they buy About David Walters Yachts & Hylas David Walters Yachts has built a long-standing reputation as the go-to brokerage for Hylas—not just for helping clients buy and sell these yachts, but for advising on the practical realities that matter once you actually own one: how different models behave offshore, what systems complexity really means over time, and how to align a boat’s layout and sailing characteristics with the way you plan to cruise. This webinar is designed to give you a clear, experience-backed framework for choosing the Hylas that best matches your cruising goals, your crew plan, and your desired “complexity level”—so you can buy with confidence and enjoy the ownership experience you’re aiming for. #Hylas #HylasYachts #Hylas46 #Hylas48 #Hylas49 #Hylas54 #Hylas56 #Hylas57 #Hylas63 #Hylas70 #BluewaterCruising 🌊 #OffshoreSailing 🌎 #Passagemaking ⛵️ #Liveaboard 🏝️ #CruisingLife #SailingWebinar 🎥 #YachtOwnership #YachtBuying #YachtBrokerage #DavidWaltersYachts #DWY #JoshMcLean #SailboatTalk #YachtDesign #SailingLifestyle

In this video, Capt. Jay Williams of David Walters Yachts (DWY) walks through the winter shrink-wrap process for a motoryacht—why it matters, how it’s done properly, and the key details that protect your investment through the off-season. You’ll see how a professional shrink-wrap setup helps safeguard exterior finishes, keeps the boat clean, reduces UV exposure, and—when done correctly—maintains ventilation to minimize moisture and mildew issues during storage. If you’re preparing your yacht for winter layup (or evaluating a boat that’s stored under wrap), this is a practical, real-world look at what “done right” actually looks like. Interested in buying or selling a quality motoryacht? Contact Capt. Jay Williams at David Walters Yachts to discuss your plans. 📞 Jay Williams – David Walters Yachts: 305-788-1121 📧 Email: jay@davidwaltersyachts.com 🌐 davidwaltersyachts.com – Search all listings and market reports Subscribe for more owner-focused yacht content, walkthroughs, and buying/selling guidance from the DWY team. #DavidWaltersYachts #DWY #CaptJayWilliams #JayWilliams #Motoryacht #MotorYacht #YachtLife #YachtMaintenance #BoatMaintenance #Winterizing #Winterization #ShrinkWrap #YachtStorage #WinterStorage #Boatyard #SeasonalMaintenance #MarineMaintenance #BoatingTips #YachtCare #YachtBroker

Meet MARE, a rare Via 52 aluminum expedition sailboat built for serious passagemaking and modern long-range cruising. Purpose-designed as a true go-anywhere bluewater voyager, MARE pairs the strength and safety of welded aluminum construction with a shoal-draft / beaching-capable centerboard configuration—yet still delivers deep-draft sailing performance when the board is down. A major part of MARE’s appeal is her full insulation, making her exceptionally well-suited for high-latitude cruising and comfortable living across a wide range of climates. On deck, the protected cockpit and pilothouse/deckhouse design provide outstanding shelter from wind, spray, and sun—exactly what experienced offshore sailors want when the miles (and weather) stack up. Key points you’ll see in this walkthrough: Expedition-grade aluminum hull/deck for durability and peace of mind Draft range: 1.10 m (3'7") board up / 3.30 m (10'10") board down Pilothouse + well-protected cockpit for all-weather watchkeeping and passagemaking comfort Refit-focused setup aimed at dependable, self-sufficient world cruising If you’d like more information about MARE or other bluewater cruisers, feel free to reach out: 📞 Chris Lafrance – David Walters Yachts: 721-588-3878 📧 Email: chris@davidwaltersyachts.com 🌐 davidwaltersyachts.com – Search all listings and market reports 📍 Location: St Martin, FWI 🔗 Price, full listing & specifications: https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/for-sale/9828231?hsLang=en #DavidWaltersYachts #BluewaterCruising #AluminumSailboat #ExpeditionYacht #Via52 #ShoalDraft #HighLatitudeCruising

Join Capt. Jay Williams for a clear, real-world breakdown the major sailboat rudder designs: skeg-hung, spade, twin rudders, and aperture/keel-mounted rudders. Whether you’re evaluating a bluewater cruiser, buying your first sailboat, or simply want to understand how rudder design impacts safety, handling, and performance, this episode gives you the knowledge every sailor should have. Jay draws from a lifetime at sea—cruising, running commercial vessels, managing shipyards, and overseeing new builds—to explain how each rudder type performs in real conditions: offshore swell, tight maneuvering, grounding scenarios, and heavy-weather helming. This is the practical, experience-based insight you won’t get from a textbook. ⚓ What Jay Covers in This Video The structural and performance differences between skeg-hung, spade, twin, and aperture rudders Which designs offer the best protection, steering feel, efficiency, and redundancy How rudder type influences offshore reliability and maintenance requirements Why some modern performance cruisers favor twin rudders How older full-keel and aperture designs behave under sail and power This video is essential for sailors considering a long-range cruiser, passagemaker, performance yacht, or classic full-keel sailboat — and for anyone who wants to understand the most critical steering component on a boat.
