The 2004 Hylas 49 is the embodiment of timeless bluewater cruising excellence — a vessel where classic lines and modern performance come together in a way that satisfies even the most discerning sailors. Designed by Sparkman and Stephens, one of the world’s most respected naval architects, and built by Queen Long Marine, this 49-foot, center Cockpit, cutter is revered for her sea-kindly motion, robust construction, and elegant presence both at anchor and under sail.
From the moment you step aboard, the Hylas 49 makes a striking first impression. Her graceful sheer, sugar-scoop stern, and balanced hull lend an air of understated sophistication, while the cutter rig with dual headsails gives sailors powerful sail options in varying conditions. With an emphasis on ease of handling, she accommodates short-handed crews just as confidently as a full complement, thanks to thoughtful deck layouts and sail control led aft.
Below, the interior is a testament to craftsmanship and livability. Warm teak joinery and fine veneer work create an inviting, yacht-like environment. The spacious salon features deep settees, generous storage, and abundant natural light — perfect for long passages or relaxed evenings at anchor. The galley is well-appointed for serious provisioning and meal preparation, and the private cabins forward and aft provide comfortable retreats.
The engineering spaces are intelligently laid out, giving easy access to systems and encouraging conscientious maintenance. With a dependable 100hp Yanmar Diesel and 8 kw Phaser Generator, the Hylas 49 is built to go the distance with confidence.
Whether you’re planning a circumnavigation or year-round cruising, the 2004 Hylas 49 stands out as a vessel that combines performance, comfort, and quality craftsmanship. She offers not just a sailboat, but an enduring platform for adventure on the high seas — a boat to make memories and cross oceans with style.
