Interior Accommodations Hylas 54's are only built to order, allowing each owner to select from multiple cabin configurations which can be further customized. The choices made by the owner of Second Wind reflect his extensive sailing experience and work particularly well for short handed offshore cruising in luxury or with 2 to 4 guests.
There are three sleeping cabins, master aft cabin with ensuite head, and two guest cabins forward of the raised salon share a second head. The forward VIP guest cabin has a very wide V berth and private door into the guest head. The port guest cabin has a double with extra storage.
The raised main salon is amidships with customized "captain's" seating to starboard and large settee with dining table to port. Aft of the salon to port is an impressive L-shaped navigation center with two separate working desks. The very large passageway galley has inboard and outboard counters, great storage and exceptional refrigeration and freezer capacity.
The light, hand picked, varnished teak interior woodwork is comparable to that found on the finest semi-custom sailing yachts built in the US and Europe. For sailors planning extended offshore passages or live aboard, storage capacity is excellent Hylas' attention to detail is everywhere, including the beautiful teak cabin sole with custom light inlays, custom chairs in the salon and magnificent dining table.

Closing Remarks Second Wind is an excellent example of a very well equipped and maintained late model Hylas 54 Raised Salon. The Frers designed Hylas 54 semi custom design offers excellent performance, exquisite teak woodwork and a very spacious bright, airy 3 cabin interior. There are hundreds of choices when building a new Hylas including cabin configuration, options selection and personal customizing. Second Wind's owner's knowledge and experience and open ended budget are a few reasons she is one of the most attractive 54's built to date. She is also one of the only 54's with the shoal keel board design, which gives access to hundreds of additional anchorages while cruising. Everything is on board for extended cruising. Sail handling is automated. Second Wind's asking price is hundreds of thousands less than new construction that has a two year waiting period.
