The Hylas H48 blends Bill Dixon’s modern design with classic bluewater capability. With a safe center cockpit, bright raised-salon interior, and versatile three-cabin layout, she delivers comfort, confidence, and performance for voyagers seeking a world-ready midsize yacht.The "First in Class" Hylas H48 design has been the choice of voyagers in midsize yachts for decades and for very good reasons. Bill Dixon's lifestyle enhancements will keep this yacht relevant for aspiring voyagers in years to come. Extending the enclosed center cockpit accommodates crew numbers and cockpit relaxation. Staying with the classic cutter rig brings peace of mind as weather deteriorates. The self-tacking staysail makes very light work in heavy going. All lines run back to the cockpit so there's no need for crew to be on deck. A more plumb bow and a beam that carries aft not only enhance performance underway but bring the interior space to life.Living aboard is a delight with the raised-salon skylights allowing plenty of natural light, and the oversized portlights mean you're never disconnected from the world you want to explore. The walk-through galley offers storage, ease of use, and safety underway. In the master stateroom every cubic inch has been utilized to provide a comfortable living space more often found on much larger yachts, with the aft area being the most comfortable under way—an important consideration for long passages and sleeping comfort.The ensuite master bathroom is set up as a walk-through to the nav station and main salon with an incorporated washer/dryer space. In the forward part of the yacht, guest quarters are generous, with a V-berth at the bow and an additional over/under crew cabin on the port side. When combined with the Hylas build quality, there are few yachts of this size that will carry you with such confidence and comfort to anywhere in the world.Hull Number 5 (H48-05)
