Stellar Blue Boat | 49' Hylas 2001
This 2001 Hylas 49' Cutter, Stellar Blue, represents the gold standard of German Frers blue-water design, optimized specifically for short-handed couples seeking offshore voyaging or self-sufficient Pacific Northwest cruising. The Hylas 49 is based on the Sparkman and Stephens designed Hylas 47, designed in 1986. Stellar Blue has been extremely well-maintained and upgraded by her 3 owners. The current owners recently went through the boat from bow to stern with the Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op checking all systems and equipment and brought the boat to 100%. Stellar Blue is ready to head for any horizon!
