With a strong focus on self-sufficiency, she boasts a robust solar setup, ample storage, and a water maker, making her ideal for extended cruising.
The construction includes an impressive stiffening network of full length fore and aft stringers and transverse floors. The deck is balsa or Airex cored and fastened to the hull via stainless bolts and 5200. Chainplates are massive and tie into glassed over stainless-steel I-beams. Queen Long was already well known for their Kelly Petersons and Stevens 47's before producing the Hylas 44. She was designed by the German Frees and the H44 is regarded as a great world cruiser fast and solid with great sea keeping abilities.
They have crossed the Atlantic from Cap Verde to Martinique in 16 days with just two people onboard, averaging 150nm days in good offshore conditions.
