Ahoy all -

I hope this note finds you happy and healthy.

If you need delivery help this fall, please phone or email me...thank you!

Here is a little about me —->

Having worked with scores of Hylas owners aboard their great yachts since 2007, I believe I may have amassed more Hylas sea miles than anyone except some owners themselves and perhaps our great friends Christian Pschorr and John Kretschmer.

Over the past 12 years I have successfully delivered every model of Hylas, during every month of the year, bringing each of them into port safely and in better condition than I found them. 

In addition, for many years, I was employed as full-time captain aboard the following: H49, H54, H56, H63 and H70. 

To this day, I am happy to have several Hylas owners as repeat clients.

I am familiar with most of the harbors from Bar Harbor to Grenada, having captained offshore passages north and south for more than 43 years.

I also have an intimate knowledge of most Bahamian and Caribbean islands, gained sailing in those regions on a great many cruises and passages.

I am very excited about the renewed promise of the Hylas brand - and I plan to continue to help owners get their fine yachts positioned where they want them, safely and gleaming.

My rèsumè, sailing log and letters of recommendation are available upon request.

Please feel free to call me or email me anytime. Thank you!

Nicely done!

Final update.

If you recall, nothing worked and we tried everything, including sending the injection pump to Bosch in Germany for review.  Bosch sent it back and said it was fine.  Last year the throttle lag happened only rarely and I thought the problem was solving itself.  This year we start off from Sicily and literally 50% of the time the throttle had extreme lag or never went faster than idle forward or reverse for minutes before leaping to proper rpm's for a high throttle position.  We limped up to Olbia, Sardina and I just decided to order a new injection pump without hiring another mechanic to run his traps and scratch his head.  IT HAS WORKED GREAT for a month now!!!  Feels like a new engine.  I wish I had done this in Croatia two years ago but the mechanic insisted that it was NOT the injection pump!!!

Mark,
When I inquired with Queen Long a few years ago for our 46 Ambition, they provided the following information:

We can provide the current gas shocks (ST30-40-5 ATTWOOD SS 8MM EXT 10" CMP 7") with brackets (SL58SSP3-7 ATTWOOD SM 90D BRKT W/10MM  B) model we used for fridge lid for current boats.

We purchased them and had no issues at all.
Hope this helps you!

Dan, under the forward area of the aft bunk is a storage locker followed by a 70 gal water tank. Behind the water is the battery box for the three 8d’s followed by the pulley box for the steering quadrant. A second 57gal water tank is under the aft portion the the forward bunk.
