The 2011 Hylas 56 is a fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Germán Frers, built for serious ocean cruising with refined comfort. She is powered by a single 150 hp Volkswagen TDI diesel engine and carries a 56-foot length with a 15.83-foot beam. The design balances high-performance sailing characteristics with spacious, well-appointed accommodations suited to extended passages and leisurely anchorages.
On deck, the yacht features electric primary winches with strategically placed secondary winches, a Lewmar-Whitlock Mamba steering system, and bow thrusters for tight-quarters maneuvering. Sail handling is simplified through a GMT Carbon PowerFurl boom and electric furling systems. The cockpit is deep with custom dodger and Bimini top, and the deck includes wide teak side decks, polished stanchions, and toe rails. A navigation station below provides centralized control of systems for offshore cruising, with the engine compartment conveniently accessible near the galley.
Below, the yacht offers two cabins and two heads. The main cabin features handcrafted teak joinery, a galley equipped with double sink, oven, dishwasher, and freezer, and an open saloon with lateral windows. The master suite provides generous storage and natural ventilation, while a second cabin includes a washer and dryer. Both cabins have dedicated head access.
Recent maintenance and upgrades include engine service in 2025, North Sails NPL Tour NorLam Ultra X main and genoa from 2023, B&G electronics upgraded in 2022, custom canvas covers, and a new Highfield dinghy with Yamaha 9.9 hp outboard. The yacht comes with a full suite of cruising equipment and has been continuously maintained to professional standards.
