A model-specific digital guide for buyers evaluating a Hylas 44 before committing to travel, survey costs, or a purchase contract. 

This guide is built to help you identify the areas that matter most on this model, especially the things that can quietly turn a good-looking boat into an expensive one.

Inside, you get a structured walkthrough of the Hylas 44’s build profile, known age-related weak points, red flags, green flags, critical seller questions, a pre-survey photo checklist, sea trial guidance, negotiation leverage, and ready-to-use communication templates for owners and brokers. The guide is designed to help serious buyers filter boats earlier, ask better questions, and arrive at a formal survey better prepared.

This is not a generic yacht-buying checklist. It is specific to the Hylas 44, including its production history, layout variations, cored-deck moisture concerns, internal chainplate attention points, steering-system checks, leak-tracing priorities, and long-term ownership considerations.
