FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:

Winner of the prestigious Cruising World Magazine ‘Boat of the Year’, the German Frers designed Hylas 54 has proven herself as a hugely successful and desirable blue water cruising yacht both in the US and in Europe with 59 built.

EN-DEILIG (hull number 47) is one of just two Hylas 54’s supplied new into the European market by Hylas Yachts UK Ltd. Kept in their continued ownership and used lightly as a demonstrator, she was sold by Grabau International to her current owners in 2019 who were looking specifically for a yacht capable of becoming a safe and reliable passage-maker for their young family. Following a short period of upgrade and refit with all works carried out professionally on the UK’s South Coast, EN-DEILIG sailed to the Mediterranean before readying herself for taking part in the inaugural January ARC, where she finished first in her class and was third yacht over the line out of an original entry list of 47 boats.
