This is a tour around a 2013 Hylas 56. It was our favourite boat at Annapolis this year. A bit large for a cruising couple, but it really makes us want to see an old 49 (which had an encapsulated keel) or the new 48.
This is a bit more complicated than a straight Hylas review though. Showing us around is Kyle from Bluewater Yachts. Kyle is planning on keeping the Hylas 56 going under the Bluewater Yacht name. Hylas themselves have discontinued the 56 and replaced it with the 57 and 60 which have redesigned hulls with twin rudders.
It seems like a complicated, and not an altogether smoothly running, story with Bluewater Yachts buying the mould and originally taking over the tooling for the 56 at the same yard that builds the Outbound. In fact, hull number one was released as an Outbound.
Whatever the complications of the brand if Bluewater Yachts can settle down to producing some of the classic Hylas boats as well as Hylas did, or better (they have a list of improvements on the original design but still keeping the hull shape) then this will be a good thing.
