Step aboard WINDHORSE, a 2003 Hylas 49 designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Queen Long Marine. Long regarded as one of the most sought-after Hylas designs, the Hylas 49 blends serious offshore capability, graceful center cockpit styling, and a spacious three-cabin interior that has made the model a favorite among bluewater cruising sailors.

Following that layup, she was fully serviced and has continued to be lightly enjoyed on a seasonal basis. Her condition is immediately evident aboard, especially in the interior teakwork, teak and holly sole, blue Ultrasuede upholstery, custom inlaid dining table, and traditional Hylas joinery. She offers the preferred three-cabin layout with a spacious aft master suite, VIP forward cabin, third cabin with over/under berths, two heads, passageway galley, forward-facing navigation station, and excellent storage throughout.

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. She’s currently in Sint Maarten, which is a perfect launch point for immediate Caribbean cruising, or a proven staging base if you’re thinking bigger passages.

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
