About the HYLAS 48
The Hylas 48 is a modern, heavy-displacement cruising yacht designed by Bill Dixon and built by Queen Long Marine, with production records indicating builds starting in 2018. As a relatively new model with limited historical owner report data, it represents a contemporary evolution of the brand's traditional full-keel or modified fin-keel offshore capabilities.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for serious bluewater cruisers and offshore passagemakers who prioritize seakeeping and comfort over high-speed planing, given its substantial 42000.0 lb displacement and 42.1 comfort ratio.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.67 and a high D/L ratio of 253.08, the Hylas 48 is engineered for exceptional offshore stability and safety, making it highly capable for extended bluewater passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 462 and the Swan 46, as they share similar heavy displacement, offshore-oriented hull forms, and target the same market of serious long-range cruisers.
