2026 Hylas H48

The Hylas H48 represents a refined expression of proven blue-water design. Built on a full fiberglass hull with a 48-foot length and 14.5-foot beam, this yacht combines a plumb bow and beam-forward lines that enhance both performance and interior volume. The classic cutter rig with self-tacking staysail simplifies heavy-weather sailing, while the enclosed center cockpit accommodates crew and relaxation with all lines leading back to the helm—eliminating the need for deck work in challenging conditions. A single 100-horsepower Volvo diesel engine provides reliable auxiliary power, with a cruising speed of 7.5 knots and a maximum speed of 12 knots.

The interior prioritizes livability through natural light and generous space. The raised salon skylights and oversized portlights flood the cabin with daylight. The galley runs athwartship for safety and efficiency underway, with thoughtful storage integrated throughout. The master stateroom occupies the aft section, where comfort matters most during extended passages—every inch of space has been optimized for a stateroom more spacious than typical for this size.

Three cabins and two heads service the accommodation plan. The master features an ensuite bathroom that doubles as a walk-through to the navigation station and main salon, with dedicated space for a washer and dryer. Forward, guest quarters include a V-berth at the bow and an over-under crew cabin to port.
