2000 Wyliecat 48

This 2000 Wyliecat 48 is a 48-foot sailing yacht built on a fiberglass hull with a 13-foot beam. The boat features the distinctive Wyliecat rig, a single-line control system that manages sail shape through a carbon mast and wishbone boom. The choker system allows the sailor to adjust draft from full and powerful in light conditions to flat and de-powered in heavy air by pulling a single line, with the carbon components responding quickly and intuitively to helm inputs.

The rig eliminates the complexity of traditional sailing systems. There are no shrouds, stays, or multiple adjustment lines to manage—only the choker controls sail geometry and mast bend. This simplicity extends to operation: no need to duck under the boom, no requirement to coordinate with crew, and no stress of managing intricate rigging systems. A single operator can handle all sail adjustments from the helm.

Power comes from a Yanmar diesel engine. The boat is well maintained and has been cared for throughout its service.
