HOPE is an excellent later-model example of the highly regarded Hylas 49, designed by Sparkman and Stephens. She offers a versatile three-stateroom layout, including full-width owner’s cabin aft with centerline queen berth, large walk-through galley and comfortable main salon – ideal for extended cruising with family and friends. HOPE is also extremely well-equipped for shorthanded offshore sailing, as proven by the offshore passages completed by the current owner and his wife.

For those looking for the ultimate in comfort, safety and ease of handling for offshore cruising or living aboard, few yachts can compare to the Hylas 49. HOPE is in magnificent condition and ready to cruise with all the luxury options, including electric mainsail furling, electric winches, bow thruster, generator and reverse-cycle air conditioning, and has also benefited from recent upgrades including hull paint and electronics.

The spacious three-stateroom accommodation plan includes a large private aft master stateroom with ensuite head, two comfortable guest cabins forward with second head, large main salon and galley and proper navigation center.

There are louvered lower panels in passageway doors and heads, custom headliners throughout, and Wahlee stone galley and head countertops. Cabin soles are bamboo with teak inlays and positive locking devices. The overhead headliner is easily removable, and hatches have built-in screens.
