SIMPLIFY is a production built Hylas 44, built by Queen Long Marine. German Frers designed the Hylas 44 with a sweet sheerline with low center cockpit, wide side decks, a comfortable interior and excellent sailing performance. Her solid teak interior features beautiful workmanship and provides exceptional interior living space - far larger than most of her contemporaries.

Topsides renewed, new antifouling paint and buffed out hull completed in January 2022. 72 hp Westerbeke diesel and powerful bow thruster; master stateroom has a king size bed, head/shower; galley has all needed amenities, navigation area is fully equipped.
Hylas 44 is a great example of one of the finest performance cruising sailboats ever built, a perfect liveaboard or long term cruiser. Designed for maximum performance with minimal maintenance (no teak decks with an aluminum toe rail) but with a teak interior of a fine yacht.

The interior arrangement features a clever double passageway arrangement which makes great use of the interior space and feels far larger than her 44 feet. Two comfortable staterooms, a spacious main salon and large galley with excellent counter space make her an ideal candidate for a liveaboard or blue water cruiser. Hylas is well known for high quality teak joinery, and Simplify's interior shines with semi-gloss varnished solid teak. Louvered locker fronts with solid teak frames and dovetailed drawers exemplify the yard’s skill in woodworking.

Aft of the stove, there are two very large top loading refrigerator/freezer compartments. Outboard is varied sized open storage for plates, bowls, cups and mugs.
The aft stateroom in the stern is a true owner’s stateroom with generously sized berth offset slightly to starboard and a dressing settee to port.
