"The Hylas's interior arrangement is well suited for blue water sailing, we particularly like the easy access engine..." "The Hylas 49 is poised to become a leader in the 50 foot market..." "The Hylas 49 is an excellent choice for anyone considering a serious, performance cruising boat with comfort to spare..." "Luckily we avoided the worst of the weather until we rounded Diamond Head... interestingly tropical storm Daniel sprang to life 50 miles south of Hatteras and collided with a cold front coming from the north. Suddenly we had 40 plus knots on the nose... we slapped two reefs in the main and reduced the genoa to 100%... the boat had no tendency to pound. Frequent checks proved she was tracking true... we were cold and wet sailors by the time we pulled into our slip north of Annapolis but we were all very impressed by the design, sailing characteristics and overall construction of the Hylas 49." - Comments from Sailing Magazine review of the Hylas 49
