1997 Hylas 46

This 1997 Hylas 46 is a fiberglass cruising sailboat built for blue water performance. Designed as a light-displacement yacht, she was custom ordered and never used for charter work. The boat reflects traditional Hylas build quality and layout, with a straightforward design absent systems like air conditioning or a generator—either can be added if desired.

The sloop rig includes a Doyle mainsail and stack pack installed in 2012, paired with a Quantum Carbon genoa added in 2019. Power comes from a single 64-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine, driving the boat at a cruising speed of 7 knots. The yacht accommodates two cabins and two heads, providing comfortable quarters for extended cruising.

The boat measures 46 feet in length with a 14-foot beam. Recent use has been primarily in the Chesapeake Bay, with cruising along the east coast. The yacht is ready for immediate use or can be modified to suit a new owner's specific requirements.
