Hylas 49 reviews

"The Sparkman & Stephens designed Hylas 49 is not a new boat but the show was the first opportunity to see one in Europe.

Down below is a beautifully executed interior, with an outstanding level of finish and attention to detail.  A peek behind the instrument panel at the chart table revealed super yacht levels of workmanship.  She was equally impressive on deck".

Sailing Magazine review of the Hylas 49

‘Luckily we avoided the worst of the weather until we rounder Diamond Head…interestingly tropical storm Daniel sprang to life 50 miles south of Hatteras and collided with a cold front coming from the north.  Suddenly we had 40 plus knots on the nose … we slapped two reefs in the main and reduced the genoa 60 100%… the boat had no tendency to pound.  Frequent checks proved she was tracking true… we were cold and wet sailors by the time we pulled into our slip but we were all very impressed by the design, sailing characteristics and overall construction of the Hylas 49.’
