2008 Hylas 46 Center Cockpit

The hull of the Hylas 46 is completely hand laid solid fiberglass with 8 longitudinal stringers tied to each frame and bulkhead providing an unusually strong seamless monolithic structure in excess of A.B.S. standards. There are watertight bulkheads fore and aft. The keel is externally bolted lead using 12 solid stainless steel 1 3/8" bolts with backing plates. The distance between the rudder and keel is measured by design to provide excellent directional stability and balance. The semi-skegged rudder provides for a solid combination of strength, protection and performance. The bottom of the rudder is 6" higher than the low point of the keel providing protection for the rudder in the event of a grounding. Hylas built these boats with 2 epoxy barrier coats to avoid blistering. White factory gel-coat topsides. There is a teak rubrail with stainless steel guard.

Fiberglass sandwich construction with balsa core. Solid GRP fiberglass in all areas of deck for deck fittings and stress areas. The deck is bonded to the hull with 3M 5200 epoxy and thru bolted every 5" with backing plates. The deck has molded contrasting beige nonskid.
