Hylas 51 Ocean Race

Boat Overview

A fast ship that always attracts attention and admiration. This ship creates the best possible compromise between basic comfort, the highest quality of fittings and maximum sailing fun! It is a one-off building designed by German Frers. The original drawings are even available. A ship that, measured in terms of purpose and equipment, convinces with a lot of comfort and flattering details.

• Draught: 2.6 m


• Mast Height: 23 m


• Winches on Deck: 14

Sailing Performance

In good, not necessarily perfect conditions, she sails 30° and higher upwind and is also a good-natured and safe ship thanks to the high ballast content. Easy to reef and easy to sail even by amateurs, while the professional can let off steam with countless trimming options. The deck superstructure offers plenty of safe room to manoeuvre, even in harsh conditions. She sails wet on the foredeck, but dry in the cockpit. It cuts waves like butter and can be steered like a dinghy.

Ownership History

Currently the 4th owner who used the ship for non-profit sailing trips - no regattas or heavy weather trips. The yacht can easily receive an ORC certificate and the See-BG approval for commercial trips again (expired in 2014, was confirmed in 2018 but not used).
