The Hylas 44 is a semi-custom. moderate displacement, yacht that has the pedigree to take you offshore and anywhere you like. This manufacturer has a long history of building boats of quality and value, and the performance of this boat will not disappoint. She sailed in the Annapolis to Bermuda Race in 2016 and 2018. She carries 864 SF of sail and is at her best on a beam reach in 18-20 Knots. She also sails very well in light air.

The hull was built with hand laid fiberglass, and the decks are cored with Airex foam. This makes the decks stiff, light and well insulated. The interior is spacious. It includes 2 cabins, fore and aft. The forward cabin has an offset double berth, with plenty of storage and a head and shower which can also be accessed from the salon. The galley is located on the starboard side leading back to the aft main cabin which provides great security at sea. The aft cabin can also be accessed on the port side after passing the NAV Station and a head with separate shower stall. The salon is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. It can also provide another double berth.

This boat has been undergoing a major refit. Check out what has been done so far.
