SPIRIT | Hylas 70ft

The Hylas 70, SPIRIT, is an impressive example of the builder's most recent German Frers design and flagship of the highly regarded Hylas series. Whether you're a coastal cruiser or potential circumnavigator, SPIRIT is a luxury performance world cruising yacht with the integrity, exquisite finish and state-of-the-art systems necessary to go anywhere.

SPIRIT has a contemporary Euro exterior style with a wider expanse of unrestricted teak decking that flows to meet the topside. Her distinctive burgundy hull, custom stainless pulpits, extended stainless lifelines aft and uncluttered trunk cabin add to her very distinctive exterior appearance.

The experienced owner selected matched honey-colored teak and gloss varnish throughout the interior. The bamboo cabin sole with contrasting inlay complements the exquisite teak joinery and burled maple dining table with solid teak border. The raised-salon, four stateroom arrangement is spacious, bright and airy.

In addition to making many good design and specification choices, SPIRIT's owner has spared no expense on custom details and upgrades. She has been maintained to the highest standard and is in "like new" condition. SPIRIT has been sailed primarily in local waters on a limited basis, and there are minimal hours on systems, machinery, sails and rigging. She is without question a worthy alternative to building a new semi custom. An inspection will confirm the very high quality of her design workmanship, equipment and systems that are comparable to the much more costly semi-custom alternatives built in the US and Europe.

The modern fin bulb keel was chosen to maximize stability with its lower center of gravity. The Leisure Furl stowboom provides the maximum sail area with a fully battened sail that can be lowered or reefed automatically.
