The CE certification covers all aspects of the construction of the hull and imposes certain safety standards. The hull, deck and bulkheads have to comply with rigorous standards and the engine installation, electronic installation, steering system, safety equipment, ports and hatches, fuel hoses and tanks and stability of the yacht are all examined. The CE certificate for Hylas yachts is for the highest category - Category A - which is for unlimited ocean voyages. Click here to read a testimonial letter from Alasdair Reay of CE Proof Ltd.
