Hylas 70 Center Cockpit

Hylas 70 Center Cockpit - Trinidad bound

***Currently she is in Trinidad for bottom paint, maintenance and refitting.***

Perfect Symmetry 5 is an appropriate named high quality, luxury performance world cruising yacht.  This Hylas 70, hull #1 started it all. She offers German Frer\'s attractive styling and exhilarating performance; Queen Long\'s legendary strength and beautiful interior finish; generator, air-conditioning and water maker; full electronics; hydraulic sail furling and winching; and a deck layout with all the valued features including large cockpit, wide side decks, spacious aft deck, davits,  custom transom with steps to the swim platform.

She has had exceptional maintenance from a full time captain, ongoing upgrades and improvements all the while providing her owners with everything they hoped during vacations and cruising voyages in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Pacific. 

A review of her comprehensive equipment and systems, and a personal inspection will confirm that Perfect Symmetry 5 is ready for worldwide cruising. Few performance cruising yachts offer her design and build quality and, best of all, her asking price represents a $1m saving when compared to new.

Currently she is southbound from Puerto Vallarta to Papaguayo, Costa Rica, with a planned December passage to Panama and a Canal Transit
