49' Hylas 49

Lokelani is a 2001 Hylas 49 Center Cockpit Cutter that represents the very best of the bluewater cruising era when yachts were built without compromise. Designed by Sparkman and Stephens and constructed by Queen Long, the Hylas 49 has long been regarded as one of the finest performance cruising yachts in her class. These boats were engineered for serious passagemaking, with a hull form that balances speed, comfort, and seakindly motion, and with construction standards that rival much larger custom yachts.

Lokelani has a three stateroom layout that works exceptionally well for both full time living aboard and extended offshore cruising. The interior is warm and inviting, finished in beautifully varnished teak with a high gloss cabin sole and carefully designed handholds and storage throughout. Large fixed windows in the salon, along with fourteen opening ports and multiple overhead hatches, fill the interior with natural light and fresh air, giving the boat an open and welcoming feel that is rare in this size range.

The main salon is arranged for both comfort and safety at sea. To port is a substantial dinette that converts into a double berth, making it ideal for offshore watch sleeping or additional guests. To starboard, a full length settee serves as a comfortable sea berth and lounge. Headroom throughout the salon is just under six feet seven inches, adding to the feeling of space. Air conditioning with digital controls keeps the interior comfortable in tropical climates, and the Ultra Suede upholstery adds a modern, refined look.

The galley is one of the highlights of Lokelani. Stretching over seven feet in length, it is designed for serious offshore cooking with excellent bracing on either tack. There is abundant storage, a three burner Force 10 stove with oven, separate refrigerator and freezer systems, and large Corian countertops. The walk through layout provides easy access to the aft stateroom while still keeping the cook secure when the boat is underway.
