Hylas 46 Just Listed

If you are looking for a yacht that can circumnavigate the world or you just want to cruise to the Coral Sea and back each season, and you hold safety and security at the sea as a high priority, then this 2002 Hylas 46, Lea Seydoux, is a must to inspect. She is fitted with the shoal draft keel, drawing only 1.6 meters providing accessibility to shallow bays that deep-keel yachts can only dream of.

Lea Seydoux is not just stunning; she's built for serious sailors and is equipped for long-distance cruising and offshore adventures.
Responsive handling and exceptional performance make every voyage a pleasure, whether you're an experienced sailor or new to the seas.

On top of her exceptional condition, Lea Seydoux is also one of the most sought-after blue water designs ever built. The Hylas 46 was built at the Queen Long Marine shipyard in Taiwan and designed by the renowned German Frers to be a comfortable couple's cruiser.
With a centre cockpit design, cutter rigged, solid GRP hull, lead keel and partial skeg hung rudder, the strength, durability, and performance are unmatched. Lea Seydoux is hull number 39 of a limited run of 60.
The centre cockpit is safe and secure with a full dodger and bimini with removable screens. The helm provides exceptional 360 degree visibility and comes with full Raymarine instrumentation. Trimming is a breeze with the two electric Lewmar 54 primary winches. She has a Selden whisker pole for the 135% Genoa to let her run down-wind and for heavier conditions, she reefs easily with the electric in-mast furling.

Lea Seydoux has a full width private stateroom and ensuite at the aft. The galley is on the starboard side aft so extreemly safe when cooking on passage. The fridge and freezer have large top-loading hatches and large front-loading meat locker style doors. There is a three-burner stove/oven with incredible counter space for food preparation. The navigation station is on the port side midships, and in the saloon, you'll find a beautiful dining table that can drop down to become another sleeping space. On the starboard side of the saloon is a pull-out pilot berth. Moving forward there is the second cabin with a double Pulman berth and ensuite.
The longevity of your voyages will be enhanced by the custom-made water-maker capable of producing 120ltr per hour and, a 7kg front loading washing machine/Dryer.
