Hylas 57 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Hylas 57 means looking at a Bill Dixon design that debuted in 2020 as a center-cockpit, raised-deck saloon sloop with 17 feet of beam anchor. She cross-shops against the Oyster 565, Hallberg-Rassy 57, and Amel 60, and on the used side you will mostly find owner three-cabin layouts, though four-cabin versions and ex-charter boats are both out there. The boat's high topsides, wrap-around saloon windows, and divided aft cockpit with Targa arch make her easy to spot on a dock.
Layouts on the Used Market
The Hylas 57 was offered in three interior plans: two three-cabin, two-head versions and one four-cabin, two-head version. On the used market, owner three-cabin boats are the more common, but both layouts appear, and ex-charter examples are common. In the three-cabin boats the galley runs along the starboard passageway aft to the owner cabin; the four-cabin layout instead places the fourth cabin in that passageway and moves the galley into the saloon to port of the companionway. Either way the interior is light-veneer, white-lacquered, cove-lit, and built around the spacious saloon.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most used Hylas 57s carry a heavy cruising inventory. Commonly fitted are lithium batteries, solar, a watermaker, air conditioning, a hardtop, electric winches, a bow thruster, a furling main, and a self-tacking jib — a power-and-energy and sail-handling cluster that supports silent tropical living and shorthanded sailing. A chartplotter, radar, AIS, autopilot, and Starlink are also common, forming the navigation and communications suite buyers now expect. Less universal but often seen is a short-handed setup; heating and an asymmetric spinnaker are occasional owner additions rather than standard spec.
What to Inspect
The Hylas 57 is built with a standard bulb-fin keel drawing eight feet or a shoal wing keel just over six feet, twin rudders, and a double-spreader in-mast furling main with a Solent headsail plan anchor. Verify which keel is fitted, confirm the in-mast furling system and Solent stays are serviced, and check the divided aft cockpit drainage and Targa arch mounts. The hull uses vacuum-infused closed-cell core from the 2020 build, so inspect core integrity at high-load points.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the Hylas 57 are the United States, Bahamas, and United Kingdom. For a buyer, the takeaway is straightforward: choose three- or four-cabin based on whether you want the passageway or saloon galley, confirm the keel type against your cruising grounds, and expect a well-equipped common inventory of lithium, solar, watermaker, and bow thruster. Inspect the furling rig and cored hull, and treat heating or asymmetric spinnaker as negotiable extras rather than must-haves.
