Highly-specified and recently updated example of the German Frers-designed Hylas H54 raised saloon centre cockpit. Extremely rare to the market and one of just two originally supplied into the EU market with CE-approval.
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 third overall out of an original entry list of 47 boats.
Fully fitted out for shorthanded bluewater cruising, EN-DEILIG's specification highlights are many and include:-
Twaron (Carbon/Kevlar) reinforced hull and superstructure

SPECIFICATION
CONSTRUCTION
RCD Status:
CE Certification Directive 94/25/CE (Category "A" Ocean)
Hull Construction:
The hull is hand laid up using three layers of TWARON; a carbon aramid (Kevlar) fibre with alternating FRP (fibre reinforced plastic) glass lay up.
A solid laminate (ie. no core) is used for maximum strength and longevity.
Modern vinylester resins and isophthalic gelcoats are used for increased resistance to the effects of osmosis.
The gelcoat finish is white with blue style lines.
Original Coppercoat removed, hull sanded back and 4x new epoxy coatings applied - 2020
International Micron 350 antifoul - Spring 2023
The hull sides feature a teak rubbing strake with stainless steel capping. This rubbing strake runs the length of the hull sides.
The bow area is further protected by a stainless-steel strike plate in the general anchor area. A protective stainless-steel plate can also be found at the transom.
Internally, a watertight collision bulkhead is found ahead of the forward cabin with independent overboard drainage.
Aft are watertight stern sections protecting the owner's cabin from water ingress to the aft lazarettes and stern lockers.
Deck & Superstructure Construction:
Balsa-cored GRP deck & with solid GRP laminate used beneath deck fittings and in high-stress areas.
Additional layer of TWARON built into coachroof
The deck and forward coachroof are overlaid with hand-picked teak planking. The decks were fully renovated including full recaulking - 2021
Areas not covered in teak are finished in a high quality grey non-slip GRP finish.
The cockpit seating and bathing platform are also teak laid with teak grating above the cockpit sole
Raised solid teak bulwark is fitted along the lengths of the deck with stainless steel fairleads in way of mooring cleats.
The superstructure and forward coachroof also feature stainless steel or teak grab rails
Ventilation to below decks is via a number of opening alloy deckhead hatches, stainless steel cowl vents and stainless steel opening side ports.
Keel & Rudder:
The keel is a fin section with a slight bulb to the base.
The keel material is solid lead, attached to the GRP bilge with 8x 35mm acid resistant stainless-steel bolt with transverse mounted 8mm backing plates.
The rudder is a semi-skegged GRP blade for optimal performance, strength and protection.
Replacement of rudder packing - 2022
The draft of the rudder is less than the keel, to ensure full protection in case of accidental grounding.
