Serenity Highlights
Exterior Spaces
The Hylas 54 was a tremendously successful design due in no small part to her deck and sail plan. Her wide side decks sweep aft, around the center cockpit to the aft deck, and lead to wide transom steps. This layout helps make her the perfect boat whether offshore or on the hook. Owners have remarked on how easily they can walk forward in a sea and how safe they feel in the deep cockpit while passage making. These same traits are what also make the Hylas 54 a perfect platform for relaxing in a hidden bay.
Hull & Deck
Yacht designers have explored all different hull shapes to varying degrees of success and each generation works to make hulls faster and more comfortable. German Frers experienced great success with the Hylas 54 because of his foresight and willingness to push modern hull shapes.
Center cockpit yachts have become prevalent for a variety of reasons. Great visibility, safety, and a more useful interior space are among the reasons today’s sailors enjoy these designs. Serenity’s owners have enjoyed this design so much they have decided to purchase a new center cockpit Hylas 56.
Sail Plan
Serenity has a Selden rig with in-mast furling. This reliable rig, coupled with a lightly used Ullman mainsail, can power her elegant hull through all types of seas. Because the Hylas 54 has a fine, nearly plumb bow and carries her beam well aft, she likes to sail “on her feet.”
Breaking from traditional designs of the time, the Hylas 54 was drawn to gain speed by easing sail, instead of trimming to gain waterline length. Owners will find that they can shorten sail early with this powerful rig.
Interior Spaces
Below deck, it is evident that Serenity’s owners knew exactly the boat they wanted prior to building her. A high-gloss interior that is in near-perfect condition, coupled with light beige upholstery, give Serenity the feeling of comfort and elegance. Her salon is inviting, while her galley and navigation station are easily accessible. She is a spacious three-cabin boat with two heads. Nearly spotless, Serenity looks like a boat many years younger because of the level of care that she has received.
Passageway Galley
A sailboat galley must be safe to use while underway and ideally an enjoyable space to work. Passageway galleys, when designed properly, accomplish these vital roles but also provide more advantages. Two people can work side by side and multiple opening ports make the space as nice as many fine homes.
Cabins
Spending long summer days or perfect Caribbean nights aboard Serenity is easy and comfortable. Each cabin is well-ventilated with opening ports or hatches. She is also comfortable offshore with her brightly finished cabins inviting sleep after a long watch. The versatility and usefulness that is evident on deck is carried into the interior, making Serenity a pleasure for both novice and expert sailors alike.
Serenity is an excellent example of the lower profile deck Hylas 54’s, which German Frers originally drew for this hull. Her lines are bolder than her raised salon sisters and she is undoubtedly one of the prettiest boats of her generation.
Serenity benefits from having only one owner since being built and her owners continue to care for her as they have since new. Her tidy interior and high-gloss varnish are fine examples of how well she has been maintained. This Hylas 54 is rare because she has also benefited from the daily care of a full-time captain and crew. Many vessels in this class have attentive owners, but few enjoy the care and attention that can be given by a professional team working and living aboard. Serenity is a testament to how gracefully a quality-built yacht can age.
The opportunity to acquire a single-owner Hylas 54 will be considered by all serious sailors looking for a quality yacht that can take them on their next great adventure. Serenity is a testament not only to her owners and crew but also to the Hylas brand. Her owners love their Hylas so much that they have decided to build another new Hylas and many of the same great features that Serenity has will be evident on their next yacht.
