General Description
MOJO is hull 51 of the popular German Frers-designed Hylas 54. Considered the benchmark blue-water cruiser, the Queen Long built Hylas Yachts have a storied history of over 30 years of continuous production under three generations of family ownership.
The Hylas 54 is a large couples cruiser, designed to be circumnavigation capable, crewed short handed, but also with the space for guests or two couples full-time cruising. Three generous cabins, a large raised saloon, passageway galley, full navigation station, cutter-rig, and center-cockpit design are only some of the Hylas 54's attributes.
MOJO was completed as the highest specification Hylas 54 built by Queen Long and she was one of the last few constructed before the model was revised into the Hylas 56. MOJO’s owner outfitted the boat for a circumnavigation that would have started this winter, but with a change in plans MOJO is now available immediately. On top of her high shipyard specification, MOJO has also been host to several notable upgrades.

Originally named Papa Goose, the original owner, a highly regarded architect, was intimately involved with the builder in pre-production build specifications that included many custom design improvements, additional equipment and systems upgrades. Examples are a custom wheel pedestal console, custom headliners, and raised panel woodwork with ebony inlays throughout including all entry and cabinet doors. Formerly named Patriot, MOJO is also the only Hylas 54 fitted with three heads. The forward head was custom designed to have a private VIP head and a day head, split in the middle with a shower accessible from both heads.
