INTRODUCTION

TRIUMPH is a fine example of the Frers-designed Hylas 70, current flagship 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 and stern thrusters, watermaker and an extensive package of navigation and entertainment electronics. Since her launch in 2011, TRIUMPH has proven to be a fast, safe and extremely comfortable bluewater cruiser with an excellent four-cabin layout, ideal for both private use (as done with current owner) or charter. Inspections are highly recommended. 

ACCOMMODATIONS

TRIUMPH features the standard four-cabin layout with three ensuite owner/guest cabins, plus an additional ensuite crew/guest cabin. 

Finely crafted solid teak joinerwork is finished in satin varnish to a high level throughout the interior, including solid teak raised-panel cabin doors, fully louvered, raised-panel or latticed cabinet doors, and double grooved fiddles and handrails. Cabin soles are satin finished solid teak surfaces with custom locking mechanisms. Head and shower areas are all painted white Awlgrip and feature Corian vanity tops, solid Corian sinks and molded floors. Hanging lockers are lined with cedar and feature automatic lights. White fabric headliner with Oceanair hatch screens/blinds and numerous handrails throughout.

MAIN SALON 

TRIUMPH’S main salon is quite spacious for a vessel of this size, due in part to her generous 18’ beam.

There is a comfortable pedestal chair along with multiple built-in backlit switch panels, navigation instruments and remote-control panels for the watermaker, system monitors and tank levels.
