The side decks are wide, providing for easy unrestricted access to the foredeck and coach roof while underway. The boat has an aluminum toe rail and tall stainless-steel stanchions with double lifelines. Handrails along the coach roof and boarding gates to port and starboard add further convenience.The hull is constructed of solid fiberglass (GRP) with an external lead keel bolted to a very deep keel stub and featured a skeg hung rudder for extra grounding protection. Decks are fiberglass with an endgrain balsa core. The deck is painted with contrasting non-skid (no teak decks). The hull and deck joint is fastened with an inward turning flange and through bolted at the toe rail on 6-inch centers with a flexible sealant. Interior furniture and bulkheads have been bonded to the hull to ensure a strong and stiff structure well-noted in the vessel's sailing characteristics.The Hylas 44 is a fantastic option for the budget minded cruiser.

A dressing bench sits below the hanging locker with storage below. A cabin fan and a 24” by 24” deck hatch with a screen makes for nice airflow and good lighting. This cabin has 6’3” of standing headroom that carries into the ensuite head.
The forward head has a manual toilet, stainless sink and pressurized hot and cold water. Three storage cabinets line the outboard side of the hull above the Formica countertops. Two overhead lights keep the space bright and the teak shower grate prevents stagnant moisture on the sole.
The main salon includes a 6’ settee on the starboard side and a dinette to port that can easily accommodate six people. The large 51” by 34” teak salon table is centerline with a cut out for the keel-stepped mast. The table drops down and has a custom cushion that drops into place for a good sea berth. Two overhead deck hatches with screens and six dome lights light the space and storage compartments well. Four compartments on the starboard side and three on the port are deep and functional. The fuel maker is accessible under the forward end of the port settee with a water tank sitting just aft. The starboard settee has storage behind with a water tanks and refrigerator compressor below.

Through the head is the owner’s stateroom that features a conventional sized queen walk around berth. There is 6’ of headroom and adequate space for two people to dress. Storage is plentiful with four cabinets, four drawers and one hanging locker. Three portlights and one large overhead hatch make this space bright and well ventilated.
The galley is inline on the starboard side opposite the engine compartment. The double stainless sink sits under the companionway for more efficient draining and has a single lever faucet. Opposite and outboard is a 3-burner propane stove and the countertop and forward accessed refrigerator and freezer is inline. A pullout cutting board slides into the counter showcasing the late 80’s era. The microwave oven is above the countertop with storage below concealed by sliding doors. A door at the aft end of the galley accesses the aft stateroom.
