INTRODUCTION 
ACADIA is hull # 56 of this popular model and one of the last built. Meticulously crafted to exacting specifications, she embodies the essence of luxury and functionality that defines all Hylas yachts. The Hylas 54 is also easily managed by a couple, comfortable to live on for long periods and exhilarating to sail. This German Frers design was indeed designed for offshore sailing. Her easily driven hull shape, coupled with clever equipment access and layout, contributed greatly to the success of the design.
ACADIA is extremely well equipped with generator, air conditioning, bow thruster, in-boom furling, (5) electric winches, electric davits, water maker, washer/dryer and much more. Recent upgrades include new electronics, sound system, solar charging and canvas. She has been professionally maintained by a full-time captain and professional yard crew over the course of the current and previous owner. Having undergone a complete refit by her previous owner in 2018, the current owner has spared no expense in her upkeep. For anyone looking for a fast, comfortable and reliable cruising yacht, ACADIA would be a fine choice.
INTERIOR ACCOMODATIONS AND LAYOUT
ACADIA sleeps six in three private cabins, plus 2-3 in the main salon. The interior joiner work is varnished teak with a satin finish with generous solid teak trim, louvered locker doors and raised panel cabin doors throughout. Cabin soles are varnished bamboo with contrasting teak inlays. White fabric overhead panels with Oceanair hatch screens and blinds in all cabins.
