The Hylas Yacht Owners Association site, originally launched in 2007, is the un-official website for Hylas yacht owners. The primary objective of the site is to bring together the community spirit of Hylas owners regardless of boat's condition, model, or boat age. Active participation from owners all around the world will benefit both the owners and perspective owners for years to come.

She has had a lot of work done in refit, mod and upgrades in the last few years with some touch ups and one major repair due before we are satisfied but she sails like a dream and is well fit out. Feel free to PM me if you are interested.

Either one is a go to boat. If you find one that fits your needs, in good shape, without too many hours, then jump on it. All Hylas's are in pretty high demand right now. You may even think about splitting the difference, and ordering a new 48. Just a thought. Good Luck.

If you are installing it yourself you will need 2 cans of McLube to lubricate the track as you insert it. The sail cars are inserted from the bottom. Then a lock goes on the bottom of the track, You don't use the existing mast gate except to insert the track.
You won't regret it!

I believe that will be lower with the new system. Thank you for the feedback regarding your experiences...greayly appreciated.

Few moving parts, no corrosion issues and easy to install. Installed one on our previous boat and would have one now if our current boat did not have in-mast furling.

« Last post by wurzner on May 04, 2021, 05:19:10 AM »Anyone using the tidesmarine sailtrack system. (https://www.tidesmarine.com/sailtrack/index) It came recommend due to ultra low friction hoisting/dousing, easier reefing, the the ability to lower my gate from the existing 7ft above the seck location. Any feedback good or other? About $2000 delivered for a 54ft hoist. Since we are setting up the boat for double handing, ease of operation reefing if key.
Thanks
