2009 Hylas 54 | CLARITY - Refit & Ocean Ready Bluewater Cruiser

Step aboard CLARITY, a 2009 Hylas 54 and one of the most proven and meticulously maintained bluewater cruising yachts of her generation. Designed by German Frers and built by Queen Long Marine, a family-owned third-generation shipyard that has been producing Hylas Yachts for over 40 years, this 54 blends elegant lines, structural integrity, offshore safety, and the signature “floating apartment” interior that has made the Hylas 54 one of the most desirable bluewater designs of all time. From her hand-laid solid fiberglass hull reinforced with Twaron aramid fiber, lead fin keel on stainless backing plates, and quality deck hardware to her offshore-capable rig with Selden electric in-mast furling, Furlex headsail furlers, and cutter configuration with staysail and running backs, CLARITY was designed and built for real-world passagemaking. Add in her Side-Power bow thruster (serviced 2024), 640 watts of solar with Blue Sky controller, Simpson Lawrence davits, Highfield RIB with 2023 Honda 15 hp, Newport 400 watermaker, certified Winslow life raft (2023), and full Raymarine touchscreen nav suite, and she delivers a fully dialed cruising platform that is truly “turn-key” for extended voyaging. Below decks, the interior showcases Hylas’s classic raised-panel teak joinery, recently refinished bamboo-and-teak soles (2023), Ultra-Leather upholstery, and excellent natural light and ventilation. The three-cabin, two-head layout—with separate stall showers in both heads—is ideal for cruising couples, family voyaging, or liveaboard life. The open salon features a newly refinished dinette table and U-line icemaker (both 2023), wine/liquor lockers, upgraded lighting, and abundant storage. The galley is equipped for serious cruising with Wah Lee stone countertops, Force 10 stove and oven, convection microwave (2023), Broan trash compactor, Frigoboat refrigeration/freezer, wine/beverage chiller, and thoughtful storage and fiddles throughout. Mechanically and electrically, CLARITY is set up for confidence offshore and low-stress ownership: a Yanmar 4JH3-DTE 125 hp diesel (~1300 hours) with recent injector, turbo, and valve service, a 6 kW Northern Lights generator (~750 hours), new Balmar alternator (2024), and an updated AGM battery bank (8 slimline AGMs, 2022) with dedicated engine and generator start batteries. Charging and power management are handled by dual Mastervolt chargers, Prosine 2.0 inverter/charger, dual Xantrex battery monitors, and robust 12V/110V distribution. Recent upgrades include Maxwell windlass (2023), Lewmar folding wheel (2024), cutlass bearing (2024), Flex-O-Fold prop, and fresh bottom paint and new zincs (August 2024), plus a full sail and winch service in 2023–2024. Modern communications and safety are covered with Starlink, KVH FB150 sat phone, AIS, EPIRB (2023), and Firebuoy automatic fire system (serviced 2023). CLARITY is offered by George Eberhard – David Walters Yachts, and presents an exceptional opportunity for a sailor seeking a ready-to-go Hylas 54 with constant, thoughtful upgrades, a well-documented service history, and the right equipment already installed for bluewater cruising.
