Pre-Owned: 1988 Hylas 47
The brokerage team at Wellington Yacht Partners has listed the 1988 Hylas 47 Onegin for sale with an asking price of $195,000.
The Hylas 47 is a center-cockpit sailing yacht renowned for its combination of performance, comfort and seaworthiness. Designed by the legendary Sparkman & Stephens and built by Queen Long Marine, this model has a well-deserved reputation as a capable bluewater cruiser.
Onegin‘s spacious interior features a three-stateroom layout, offering ample accommodations for guests and crew. The master cabin, located aft, has a centerline island berth, a comfortable settee and an ensuite head with a vanity and full-sized mirror. The main salon is a welcoming space with comfortable seating, teak cabinetry and a dining table. A double bunk guest cabin is located forward to port, while the guest head with a separate shower is opposite. The spacious V-berth, also forward, offers plenty of storage options.
Aft of the companionway, you’ll find a well-equipped galley to starboard and a large storage area to port leading to the walk-through aft head. This layout provides easy access to essential amenities and promotes a comfortable cruising experience.
The hull design features a deep forefoot, long fin keel, and full skeg hung rudder, which provides excellent stability and seaworthiness. This, combined with its balanced directional performance and speed, makes Onegin an ideal choice for both coastal cruising and bluewater voyages.
With a ballast-to-displacement ratio of approximately 43 percent, this Hylas 47 offers exceptional stability and resistance to rolling, making her a comfortable and safe vessel for long-distance sailing. The shallow draft of 6 feet allows Onegin to navigate shallow waters, such as those found in the Bahamas, while its air draft of 64 feet also makes it suitable for cruising along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).
Onegin has always been privately owned and has never been chartered, ensuring a well-maintained and cared-for vessel. The boat has been cruised extensively by its experienced owners, exploring the diverse waters of Europe, South America and the Caribbean. This cruising history demonstrates her versatility and seaworthiness, making it well-suited for both coastal cruising and long-distance voyages.
Upgrades include all new standing rigging (2019), new electronics including autopilot (2023), a new tender and outboard (2020), and a completely rebuilt Yanmar diesel engine (2019).
Onegin is currently located in Newport, Rhode Island, and is ready to embark on its next adventure with a new owner. Her combination of classic design, modern amenities, and recent upgrades make her an ideal choice for those seeking a reliable, comfortable, and capable bluewater cruiser.
