Zurn Yacht Design to introduce bold design for Hylas M58 flybridge and sedan

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Zurn #yacht Design has teamed up with #Hylas Yachts and together they have announced plans for the #Hylas #M58, in both Flybridge and Sedan configurations.

Hylas Yachts wanted to accommodate the needs of its discerning clientele of experienced sailors who are looking to enjoy power cruising and called upon #zurnyachtdesign to find a solution. The result, the #Hylas #M58, will bring together traditional elements from classic commuter yachts and the amenities cruisers expect today.

For #Hylas, it all starts with the way the hull moves through the water and that's where #zurnyachtdesign began. Working with the specification of Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, Zurn placed the engines aft, near a moderate 16.5-degree transom deadrise. "It's more of a planing hull, rather than a semi-displacement hull," Zurn said. "With a fine entry forward warping into that medium deadrise aft, we expect her to be a leader in fuel economy in the class." 
 
Strakes and wide chines will help with the lift, and the #M58 is expected to have a 30-knot cruise with a range of 750 nautical miles, and a top speed of 35 knots with optional 1,000-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS 1350s.
 
The other considerations for a powerboat shared by experienced #Hylas owners are evident as well. For one thing, the #M58 is destined to become a classic, thanks to her lines. The reverse sheer feels like an old friend, though its charm largely lies in one benefit it helps mask: forward volume over an 18-foot 9-inch beam.
 
The deckhouse has a top that extends aft to shelter the substantial cockpit, but with skylights aft to break up the available shade. 
 
On the sedan version of the #M58, there's a sundeck atop the house, with sun pads and speakers for streaming connectivity, or perhaps SUP stowage. The Flybridge model will have a venturi windscreen and a more substantial surround protecting a low-profile helm station to ease bridge clearance.
