Accommodations
The Hylas 44’s layout is a modern design that ensures everyone aboard will enjoy comfort and privacy. The spacious interior begins with an offset V-berth forward, followed by an enclosed head and shower to port. The main saloon features a U-shaped settee to port with a straight settee to starboard that converts into a double bunk or makes a good sea berth with a lee cloth. This is the best place to be on this boat while underway and off watch.
The passageway leads aft with the galley to starboard, the navigation station to port, and the engine compartment in the middle. The engine space is insulated and accessible from the galley on one side and the aft head on the other. The hinged companionway steps swing out into the salon to allow access to the generator, without having to stow bits of the steps in an unsecured manner in the main living area.
The aft stateroom has a centerline queen berth with plenty of stowage around it and below. A walk-through head, with a separate shower compartment, is to port.
Stowage for everything from soup to socks is good.
