OVERVIEW

GRACE has undergone an extensive refit, including a new engine, replacement rigging, hull paint, and new teak decks. More recently, GRACE has received a new sail wardrobe, new Isinglass enclosure, soft top, dodger, cockpit cushions and drinks fridge. Additional upgrades include an updated air-conditioning system in the master cabin and main salon, recent shaft removal and replacement of the shaft bearings, and the addition of a stern thruster.

Her next owner needs to add personal gear and provisions, then choose the next port of call. GRACE will leave a lasting impression on all who see her, whether at sea or in harbor.

The Hylas 70 is the flagship of the Hylas brand, combining elegant design, superior construction, high-quality finishes, and exceptional sailing characteristics. Designed by German Frers, the Hylas 70 is a true world-class cruising yacht.

GRACE accommodates eight guests in four cabins, each with its own private head and shower. The open salon features large pilothouse windows that provide abundant natural light and generous headroom. Equipped with Lewmar hydraulic sail controls and a Lewmar hydraulic bow thruster, GRACE is designed for easy handling under both sail and power.
