Hylas 49 2020 "Tiny Dancer"

The spacious and open interior, with contemporary styling, features a modern deck salon with sizeable panoramic front and side windows. These windows deliver warm, natural light and spectacular views from the comfort of the main salon.

The fiddled countertops in the galley are finished with Sahara-colored Corian and beige-textured Corian marble. Throughout the yacht, off-white-textured headliners and tastefully selected Pallas, Fantasy Art, and Ultra Suede fabrics complement the undertones of the beautiful, solid teak and holly cabin sole finished in a high-gloss varnish. The superb teak joinery and louvered cabinetry with rounded corners are handcrafted and varnished with a hand-rubbed satin finish.

Six large deck hatches with teak trim, four dorade vents, and numerous opening portlights provide excellent ventilation and a cooling breeze. At the same time, the three-zone climate control delivers welcome relief when desired.

TINY DANCER boasts three well-sized staterooms. A full-beam v-berth forward with ensuite access to the day head, a guest cabin forward to port with a single that pulls out to a double, and a roomy master stateroom with a queen centerline berth and a private head with a separate stall shower and a second passageway leading to the main salon. All staterooms feature cedar-lined hanging lockers and finished cabinetry with louvered doors and all the desirable comforts. The passageway galley with over 7 feet of useable Corian countertop, complete with an island-style surface under the companionway, offers ample space for the cuisine-loving crew and generous storage. Equally well suited for entertaining or intimate dining for a cruising couple.

HULL

The Hylas 49 is a well-proven and competent bluewater cruiser. TINY DANCER is fast, sea-kind, and strong. Constructed with hand-laid-up fiberglass laminates set with vinyl ester resins and isophthalic gelcoat for superior protection from osmosis and blistering. Eight longitudinal stringers are tied to each frame and bulkhead. The result is a stiff and seamless monolithic structure above ABS standards. The encapsulated lead keel and low ballast provide a low center of gravity for high stability and are fastened with solid 35mm stainless steel keel bolts with transverse-mounted 8mm backing plates.

The forward hull section is well-shaped for rough seas and well-reviewed for its excellent abilities in heavy weather without pounding. The distance between the rudder and keel is measured by design to provide superior directional stability and balance. The rudder post has full structural support from the hull to the deck. For added safety and protection from hard grounding, the rudder skeg is 2 inches higher than the low point of the keel.

• White gelcoat hull in excellent condition with boot stripe and cove stripe.
• 5 Epoxy barrier coats below the waterline with three coats of Micron Extra 2 Blue bottom paint.
• Teak rub rail with stainless steel capping below the sheerline.
• Substantial hand-laid fiberglass layup with vinyl ester resins and isophthalic gelcoat for superb strength and stiffness and a well-protected hull against osmosis and blistering.
• Watertight collision bulkhead forward with independent overboard drainage and watertight stern sections across aft lazarettes and stern locker.
• Fully skegged rudder for optimal strength and protection - The bottom of the rudder plane is 2" above the keel for grounding safety.
• The unidirectional modified keel is fully encapsulated solid lead, secured with 35mm stainless steel keel bolts and transverse-mounted 8mm backing plates.
• Two 1" Copper bonding strips are integrated into the hull and run the length of each side of the yacht.

DECK

Characterized by expansive side decks and high stanchions and equipped with the desirable option to bring the pushpit stainless steel rail to the mid-ship gates at full length, Tiny Dancer is a boat aboard which the crew will feel safe and secure. The deck has a sandwich core construction with an end-grain balsa core. Solid laminate is utilized in all deck areas for fittings and high-stress regions. Chemically and mechanically fastened with 5200 epoxies and through-bolted every 5 inches with backing plates, the Hylas 49 is known for its superior strength and reliable construction. The surface is molded non-skid.

• The deck is a molded non-skid in a contrasting cream color. It is gentle on the feet yet excellent at gripping water.
