The Hylas 56 serves as a refined evolution of one of the most successful blue water cruising platforms in modern yachting history. Designed by the legendary German Frers and built by the artisans at Queen Long Marine, the 56 is a direct descendant—and physical extension—of the Hylas 54. While the 54 gained international acclaim for its balance of performance and liveability, the Hylas 56 addressed the desire for more storage and a larger "sugar scoop" transom, adding nearly two feet of length to the aft section to create a more functional lazarette and a more elegant profile. This model represents the bridge between the classic Hylas era and the more contemporary, high-volume performance cruisers that followed, such as the Bill Dixon-designed H57.
