Shawn, There is one in day charter near me in the summer (near Annapolis) and in the islands in the winter. I wonder if it is the same boat. Owner is Australian if I recall correctly. It looks a lot like a Hylas 44. It seemed to be in good condition looking at it from the dock and seeing it sail by. I think the main was pretty old.Never raced against it as we were always going in opposite directions.
