Hylas 46
Bijou is a 2004 Hylas 46 Center Cockpit that is Cutter Rigged and Ready for Adventure. Bijou was purchased from her original owner in August 2023 and upgraded for long term cruising. Her original owners lovingly cared for her for almost 20 years and lightly sailed the Pacific US and Mexican Coasts. Bijou was continuosly maintained and periodically upgraded for comfort and performance. The current owners coninued the upgrades and lived aboard traveling from San Diego to Panama from January 2024 to May 2024. Current owners have decided to share the journey with friends and family so have decided to move to a larger boat.
