MAGNETIC SKY is a great example of the respected Frers-designed Hylas 70, largest of the popular and highly respected Hylas Yacht Series, built on a semi-custom basis to the highest standards. Fully automated push-button sail handling systems allow for easy shorthanded sailing, and her long list of additional options includes air, generator, bow thruster, water maker and an extensive package of navigation and entertainment electronics. Since her launch in 2010, MAGNETIC SKY has proven to be a fast, safe and extremely comfortable world cruiser featuring a versatile four-cabin layout that is ideal for both private use and charter.

MAIN SALON:
MAGNETIC
SKY’S main salon seems quite large for a vessel of this size, due in part to
her generous 18’ beam. A large L-settee is to port, with a beautiful burled
table that expands as needed to accommodate six comfortably, and can be lowered
to a coffee table position. Two folding seats are inboard and can be stored
away while underway. To starboard is a full-length settee with burled table
that can be expanded or lowered to coffee table height, and an Avanti built-in
wine cooler. Light, ventilation and visibility are provided by two large deck
hatches and teak-trimmed tinted deck house windows along the front and sides.
NAV STATION:
Aft
and to starboard is an L-shaped navigation station with easy access to the
cockpit. There is a comfortable pedestal chair along with built-in backlit switch
panels, navigation instruments and remote control panels for the water maker and
tank monitors. The workspace also includes a chart table with custom storage
for computer and (in adjacent cabin) a printer.
GALLEY:
Further
aft and to port is a long galley that is fully equipped for comfortable living
at sea or on anchor. There are several well-thought-out storage lockers for

drink cooler. The twin helms greatly benefit short-handed sailing, with all
sail controls within easy reach. Cockpit and helm cushions with backrests all new,
