Southampton Boat Show 2017 brokerage yachts

The Southampton Boat Show begins on the 15th September and runs through to the 24th. Grabau International will be attending throughout the show with appointments available to view locally-based brokerage listings which include:-

Hylas 54 – 2005 – £495,000+VAT – location Swanwick – approx 20 minutes from the show

Winner of the prestigious Cruising World Magazine ‘Boat of the Year’, the German Frers designed Hylas 54 has proven herself as a hugely successful and desirable blue water cruising yacht both in the US and in Europe.

This particular example was ordered to a very high custom specification for the European Hylas importer and has been very lightly used since then with low hours on all her systems and the added benefit of a recently fitted comprehensive B&G/Simrad instrument package. With her push-button rig, electric winches, bowthruster, generator, watermaker, air-con and satellite phone, there is very little to add to make DUET OF COWES the perfect world-girdler or simply an extremely comfortable cruising yacht/ liveaboard.

Hylas 49 – 2006 – £325,000 VAT paid – location Gosport – approx 45 minutes from the show

Extremely rare to the market, especially so in Europe, AZORES HIGH is a fantastic two-owner example of this cult Sparkman & Stephens blue water centre cockpit cruising yacht. Delivered new to the UK through Hylas Yachts UK and highly specified for effortless blue water cruising adventures, AZORES HIGH benefits from such desirable cruising features as:-

• Electric in-mast furling
• Electric genoa furling
• Staysail furling
• Channon Sails vertically-battened sails
• Extended electric winch package
• Larger 100hp engine with 3-bladed Max-prop
• Bowthruster
• Generator
• Upgraded battery capacity and charging systems
• 12v Watermaker
• Reverse-cycle air-conditioning
• Electric davits

AZORES HIGH represents a unique opportunity to acquire a fully CE-complaint and barely-used blue water cruising yacht of the very highest build quality, in ‘ready-to-go’ order.

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.2 – 1998 – £87,950 VAT paid – location Lymington – approx 35 minutes from the show

With just one caring owner since new, it is very difficult to put into words just how well presented this stunning yacht is. The words ‘immaculate’ are frequently overused, but CYGNET is genuinely the best presented yacht of this type and vintage we have ever had the pleasure of offering.

Extensively updated in recent seasons, CYGNETS main highlights are as follows:-
• 3-cabin, 2-heads ‘owners layout’
• Teak interior joinery
• International Gelshield preventative epoxy system
• Larger 63hp Yanmar engine with 3-bladed Maxprop propeller
• Standing rigging replaced 2017
• 2-speed Harken electric control winches positioned inboard of companionway (so can also be used for halyards)
• Harken ball-bearing battencar system with mast track
• Extensive canvas work including cockpit enclosure and sun awning
• Honda 2kw petrol generator
• Tender and outboard
• Extensive safety equipment inventory including recent liferaft
• Eberspacher diesel heating system
• Radar and chart plotter

Southerly 38 – 2010 – £220,000 VAT paid – location Chichester – approx 50 minutes from the show

With just two owners since she was launched in May 2010, SAVING GRACE has been lovingly maintained through her short life and based close to the Northshore factory in Chichester. Her annual maintenance has always been carried out by locally-based specialists experienced with Southerly yachts and she is wintered ashore for at least 2 months of each year.

Purchased by the present owners in 2012 as a replacement to their previous Southerly which they had owned from new, she was offered for sale as her original owner was upgrading to a new larger Southerly yacht. Used sparingly by the new owners for 4-5 weeks of each year for cruising around the S.Coast UK, English Channel and Northern France, SAVING GRACE has never been put away wet and this shows in her excellent presentation both above and below decks.

Boasting all the best features and options available for the Southerly 38, her highlighted include:-
• Ivory topsides with GRP decks (chosen for low ongoing maintenance liabilities)
• 2-cabin, 2-heads layout with full-width owner’s cabin aft
• Cherry interior joinery
• Full package of Oceanair Skyscreens and concertina blinds
• Bowthruster
• Stainless steel removable bowsprit
• North Sails with furling G1 reacher and self-tacking jib
• Fully-battened mainsail with roller battencars, single-line reefing system, stackpack and lazyjacks
• Electric halyard winch
• Full Raymarine instrumentation package including twin radar chart plotters and AIS transponder
• Extensive canvas work including cockpit enclosure and sun awning
• Tender and outboard
• Extensive safety equipment inventory including liferaft
• Eberspacher diesel heating system
