We sailed over 4000nm. last year with only a few warranty issues.
The galley arrangement is wonderful, my wife loves cooking and has perfected using mainly a heavy frypan and a medium sized heavy 'iornstone Dutch style' pot. Reduces the amount of gas comsumed and reduces the washing.
We find the He'lia a very easy boat to sail and the performance is great.
Its impossible to find the perfect boat, for us the Helia comes close.
Please feel free to ask any questions at all.

Hi CatRrazil,
I am sorry not to have replied earlier and I think I have just sent through your question to me without my reply. Finger trouble on the computer...
The He'lia 44 has turned out to be a beautiful boat for the two of us to travel and live on, its spacious well set out with a very safe and protected helm position, especially with the factory clears. I would highly recommend getting the factory option helm and cockpit clears.
I can't think of anything I would change with this boat. We did add quite a few of the options for long term live aboard and for our long range cruising plan.
We have the factory watermaker and washing machine. Have selected our own choice gen. set, a Fischer Panda 5Kw unit. I would recommend additional solar as we have just doubled the factory fitted 400W setup. We have two fridges plus the freezer and these with the Nav /Autopilot running the 400W was not quite enough.
