2012 Hylas 46

PATIENCE is hull #75 of 76 Hylas 46’s built. She is the second to last one built and has about every option for the Traditional Sailor. The original owner opted for a manual main sail configuration for safety and reliability at sea. She has the Doyle stack pack and Battcar system making her a dream to handle in any type of weather. The main sail can be deployed utilizing a power winch and stowed quickly and neatly with the Stackpack system. She has Simpson electric davits, bow thruster, generator, AC, water maker, extended pushpit, touch screen electronics, a Highfield 340 dinghy & engine

She has had two owners, both have taken extremely good care of her, and she shows exceptionally well. The interior still has her shine and gleam that distinguisher her from so many other used boats on the market. If you are looking for a very late model Hylas 46, PATIENCE should be on your list of must see boats!
