English
The Hylas 44 is an elegant centre cockpit blue water sailing sloop and arguably their most successful model. Laid out with two cabins, the forward and aft master have large, comfortable double berths and the saloon provides ample seating with large galley and nav station. 'Gloria' has been extensively upgraded including new Furuno electronics, bow thruster, sat phone, wind generator, watermaker, standing rigging and sails in the ownership of a previous owner, this makes a wonderful package for long distance cruising and would suit a couple or family looking to broaden their horizons.
