Matilda Boat | 46' Hylas 2002

Step aboard MATILDA and it's immediately clear: this is not a "pretty at the dock" Hylas 46 that still needs years of catch-up work. This is a Frers-designed offshore platform that was chosen for the right reasons, then systematically upgraded for real passagemaking and delivered through a major cruising program - so the next owner can skip the expensive learning curve and go sailing.

The Hylas 46 has earned its reputation as one of the most capable bluewater cruisers in her class: a confident hull form with a seakindly motion, serious structural pedigree, and the interior volume to live aboard comfortably. MATILDA elevates that foundation with the upgrades that matter most when the miles add up: new rigging (2022), a Doyle mainsail (2024), lithium house capacity, watermaker, generator, modern nav, and shorthanded-friendly deck gear - exactly where ownership costs typically spike on comparable boats.

Add in the practical advantages buyers care about right now - US Flag, Duty Paid, and a 63' ICW mast - and MATILDA becomes a rare combination of offshore readiness and U.S. cruising flexibility. If you're shopping Hylas 46s to actually use them as intended, this is the one that's already been brought forward.

Broker's Comments

MATILDA is a standout Hylas 46 because the high-impact, high-cost categories that typically define "readiness" have already been addressed: rigging, sail inventory, power generation, watermaking, lithium capacity, and modern navigation. Add US Flag, Duty Paid status and ICW-friendly mast height, and she becomes an unusually versatile offshore cruiser for U.S.-based owners planning real use.
