2001 Hylas 49

This 2001 Hylas 49 is a center cockpit cutter designed by Sparkman and Stephens and built to bluewater cruising standards. The boat balances seaworthy hull design with the construction rigor typically found in larger custom yachts. Powered by a 75 hp Yanmar diesel, she cruises at 7 knots with a maximum speed of 8 knots. The fiberglass hull measures 49 feet in length with a 14-foot beam.

The interior is finished in varnished teak with a high-gloss cabin sole and includes three staterooms and two heads. The main salon features headroom just under six feet seven inches, with a port-side dinette that converts to a double berth and a starboard settee. Large salon windows and fourteen opening ports provide abundant natural light. The galley spans over seven feet and includes a three-burner Force 10 stove with oven, separate refrigerator and freezer, and Corian countertops. The forward stateroom has a V berth with custom spring mattress, while the second guest cabin includes a double berth and rough-in plumbing for a washer and dryer. The forward head serves both guest cabins and features a separate shower area. The owner's stateroom aft has a centerline queen berth, en suite head with separate shower, and multiple ventilation sources.

Mechanically, the yacht carries a 6.5 kW Onan generator, inverter system, watermaker, bow thruster, and multiple air conditioning units. The Yammer diesel has dual Racor filtration and full oil change accessibility. On deck, a Selden mast with Leisure Furl in-boom furling, electric primary and secondary winches, and a cutter rig with furling genoa and staysail support short-handed sailing. Hood Vectran sails complete the rig. The cockpit includes teak seating, stainless steel arch with solar panels and davit system, and ground tackle with electric windlass and Rocna anchor.
