2003 Hylas 49 | WINDHORSE - Lightly Used Sparkman & Stephens Bluewater Cruiser

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. WINDHORSE is being offered for the first time on the brokerage market and has seen remarkably light use. Her original owner kept her in the Caribbean, typically using her only three months per year, with a ten-year period during which she remained covered and unused. 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.
