About Freestyle

<p>One-Owner German Frers Bluewater Cruiser with Major 2023-2026 Refit Updates</p><p><br></p><p>FREESTYLE is a one-owner 2005 Hylas 54 that has been maintained and upgraded with the care expected of a serious offshore yacht. Designed by German Frers and built by Queen Long Marine, the Hylas 54 is one of the defining performance bluewater cruisers of its generation: powerful, elegant, beautifully finished, and engineered for owners who want genuine offshore capability without giving up comfort.</p><p><br></p><p>The Hylas 54 has earned its reputation because it combines a slippery Frers hull form, substantial displacement, a secure center cockpit, a strong cutter-capable rig, excellent tankage, and the kind of interior joinery and systems access that make long-distance ownership practical. FREESTYLE builds on that pedigree with the right recent upgrades in the right places.</p><p><br></p><p>Her 2023-2026 refit profile is extensive. Major updates include new standing rigging, new helm chartplotter and NavPod, new Raymarine wind/depth/speed/AIS instrumentation, new bimini, dodger, dodger side extensions, cockpit cushions, hatch glass, shaft seal, cutlass bearing, bottom paint, rebuilt Flexofold propeller, newer sails, new Fischer Panda generator, new Raritan freshwater electric heads, new AGM battery bank, new hot water heater, new fans, new windlass motor, refinished bamboo cabin sole, and updated upholstery.</p><p><br></p><p>Below deck, FREESTYLE offers the preferred three-cabin, two-head Hylas 54 layout with an aft owner’s stateroom, generous forward VIP, port over-under guest cabin, large saloon, dedicated navigation station, and the long linear galley that Hylas owners value offshore. The pass-through arrangement from the nav station to the aft cabin keeps the galley clear while still providing excellent owner access and privacy.</p><p><br></p><p>For a buyer seeking a turn-key caliber Hylas 54 with one-owner history, recent rigging, sails, electronics, canvas, underwater service, generator, heads, interior updates, and classic Queen Long joinery, FREESTYLE is a compelling opportunity in one of the most respected Hylas models ever built.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p><ul><li>One-owner Hylas 54 designed by German Frers and built by Queen Long</li><li>Three-cabin, two-head bluewater cruising layout with aft owner’s stateroom</li><li>New standing rigging - 2026</li><li>New 12 in Garmin 8612 chartplotter and NavPod at helm - 2026</li><li>New Raymarine apparent wind, depth, knotmeter, wind speed, and AIS instrumentation - 2026</li><li>New dodger, bimini, and dodger side extensions - 2026</li><li>New cockpit cushions and covers - 2026</li><li>New hatch glass - 2026</li><li>New shaft seal, cutlass bearing, bottom paint, and rebuilt/serviced Flexofold propeller - 2026</li><li>New Fischer Panda 8 kW generator - 2024, 445 hours</li><li>New Raritan electric freshwater heads - 2024</li><li>New AGM battery bank - 2024</li><li>New hot water tank - 2024</li><li>New upgraded interior fans throughout - 2024</li><li>New hatch struts and windlass motor - 2024</li><li>Refinished bamboo cabin sole - 2024</li><li>New sails - 2023</li><li>Updated interior upholstery - 2022</li><li>Factory central vacuum system</li></ul> <br> <i> Resolute Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel.
