1990 Hylas 44

The Hylas 44 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built for ocean passage work. Its design by German Frers emphasizes solid construction and balanced performance, with a fin keel providing stability through varied conditions. The single Yammer 4JHTE diesel inboard delivers a cruising speed of 6.9 knots and a maximum hull speed of 7.7 knots.

Below deck, the boat offers two cabins and two heads, with thoughtful layout and ample storage suited to extended voyages. The interior reflects quality craftsmanship focused on livability rather than luxury, making the accommodations practical for both weekend trips and longer offshore passages.

Onboard equipment includes an electric windlass for anchoring. The boat's design and construction make it well-suited for serious cruising sailors seeking a capable offshore platform.
