CUSTOM PERFORMANCE SAILS FOR HYLAS BOATS

Hylas Yachts Sails by North Sails

Hylas builds serious bluewater cruisers designed for long passages with a small crew aboard. Models such as the Hylas 46, 49, 54 and 70 are typically cutter rigged, with a high-cut yankee and an inner staysail that let two people reduce sail quickly and keep the boat balanced as conditions change offshore. Most are set up so a couple can run the boat comfortably on a long passage without extra crew.

North Sails builds the full Hylas inventory around that rig and the passages you plan. Coastal cruising asks for durable, forgiving cloth, while ocean crossings reward construction that holds its shape mile after mile. We build mainsails with well-placed reefs, yankees, staysails, furling genoas and furling downwind sails for trade wind runs, with 3Di OCEAN available where shape retention matters most.

Every sail is engineered to your exact Hylas and rig rather than a class average, so the whole plan works together and the boat stays balanced when you reef. Your local loft can confirm the measurements before the build begins, and wherever the boat ends up, our global service network can inspect, repair and recut the sails along the way.

HYLAS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A:

On a boat this size the cost reflects the rig and the inventory you need. A single mainsail is one thing, a full cutter wardrobe with downwind sails is another. We give you an itemized figure once we know your model and your plans. request a quote to get started.

A:

Furling headsails, an easily reefed mainsail and a furling downwind sail make the biggest difference. Everything is specified to be raised, reefed and stowed by two people without heavy loads, so the boat stays safe to handle when only one of you is on watch.

A:

Long passages reward sails that keep their shape and take constant use. That usually means a durable mainsail with well-placed reefs, a yankee and staysail combination for flexibility, and a furling reaching sail for the trades. Talk the plan through with your local loft before you leave.

A:

Yes. Our lofts operate worldwide, so inspection, repair and recutting can be arranged along your route. Find your nearest loft and book servicing before a long passage rather than after damage appears.

A:

For genuine offshore use we usually recommend 3Di OCEAN, which holds its shape over long distances and resists the stretch that tires woven sails. Heavy Dacron and cruising laminates remain sound choices for coastal use or tighter budgets. The sail material guide explains the trade-offs.
