As a new user to the forum I just wanted to introduce myself. I recently purchased a 1998
Hylas '46 and I am just incredibly in love with the boat!!
Her original name is Sweet
Water but I decided to change her to "Sweet Maureen" to honor both the original name and my deceased mother.
The
boat is currently in
Rhode Island but will live on the Magothy River in
Maryland when I am not out cruising.
I've been searching for a
Hylas users' forum and would appreciate any pointers to such groups as well.
I have done a great deal of cruising mostly on a '48 Tayana that belonged to my friend but finally decided to take the plunge into
blue water boat ownership and I can safely say that "BOAT" really does stand for "Break Out Another Thousand!"
I have been incredibly impressed with the quality and caliber of professionalism I have seen near New Port
Rhode Island. In particular I can personally recommend
*
New England Yacht
Rigging
* CONANICUT
MARINE SERVICES
AND most particularly Kyle Medina of Kyleboatworks - Kyle is an excellent all around boat person who can do everything to upgrade/install a new chart plotter to 12v
battery replacement to new
HVAC plumbing and
pump installations. Kyle has really impressed me and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found him at this critical point in boat retrofit/upgrade!
