Mrs. Jones is a well-maintained and lightly used 2009 Hylas 54 built by Queen Long Marine. As one of the final boats in the series, she benefits from years of refinement in design and construction. Purchased by her current owners in 2014, she was professionally maintained and managed in Puerto Rico then she would be stored safely on the hard in Grenada during the off-season.
Built for offshore performance, she features a solid fiberglass hull with Twaron reinforcement and a cored deck with solid glass in high-load areas. Her interior is both elegant and practical, with high-gloss hardwood joinery, bamboo sole with teak inlay, and numerous thoughtful upgrades. Fully equipped for cruising, Mrs. Jones includes solar, wind, watermaker, generator, bow thruster, and davits.
Mrs. Jones is now lying in Fort Lauderdale and presents a rare opportunity to own a late-model, exceptionally well-kept Hylas 54 ready for immediate cruising.
The Hylas 54 is built for offshore strength and reliability, featuring a hand-laid solid fiberglass hull reinforced with Twaron aramid fiber for exceptional durability and impact resistance. Constructed with vinylester resins and isophthalic gelcoat, the hull offers excellent protection against osmosis and blistering. A lead fin keel, secured with heavy stainless steel bolts and backing plates, ensures long-term structural integrity and confidence at sea.
The deck is cored with end-grain balsa for optimal stiffness and weight savings, with solid fiberglass in high-load areas for added strength. It is securely bonded and through-bolted to the hull, creating a watertight and robust structure. Fully tabbed bulkheads and substantial floor timbers further enhance rigidity.
Together, this construction delivers the strength, safety, and comfort expected of a true bluewater cruiser.

The Hylas 54 is highly regarded for its sailing performance and offshore capability, combining a modern cutter rig with efficient sail handling systems. Mrs. Jones is equipped with a triple-spreader Selden aluminum mast with electric in-mast furling, along with Selden Furlex furlers for both the genoa and staysail. A mast-mounted whisker pole enhances downwind performance, while all lines are led aft for safe and efficient shorthanded sailing. A full suite of Antal electric winches—including primary, secondary, mainsheet, and cabin-top—makes sail handling effortless.
Her cutter rig offers excellent versatility across a wide range of conditions, from light trade winds to heavy weather. The sail inventory includes a new North Sails in-mast furling mainsail (2024), recently serviced genoa and staysail (2024), and a 1.5 oz asymmetric cruising spinnaker.
