Description

Gallivanter, built in 1989 by Queen Long Marine and designed by Sparkman & Stephens, exemplifies the strength, seaworthiness, and offshore capability that have earned the Hylas 47 its devoted following. The current owner commissioned a professional stern modification, using an exact mold taken from a Hylas 49 transom. This expertly executed upgrade enhances functionality while preserving the classic lines and integrity of the original design.


The solid fiberglass hull, reinforced internal structure, and deep lead ballast deliver exceptional durability and a stable, sea-kindly motion. A cutter rig provides versatile sail-handling across varied conditions, complemented by through-bolted deck hardware and a well-engineered deck layout for reliable offshore performance.


Below decks, Gallivanter blends comfort with practicality for extended cruising. The three-cabin, two-head layout includes a converted head fitted with a washing machine and watermaker. Generous tankage supports true ocean-going independence. Owners of the Hylas 47 consistently praise the design’s ability to carry sail efficiently under load and maintain control in demanding conditions, making it one of the most respected bluewater passagemakers in its class.
