Hylas H56 2018 'SERENITY 2' SOLD by Erik Haaland & Josh McLean

Josh McLean & Erik Haaland take you on an in-depth tour of the 2018 Hylas H56 SERENITY 2, the absolute best Hylas H56 ever constructed.
Of the Hylas 56 series, SERENITY 2 unmistakenly stands apart from her sisterships. Commissioned by a knowledgeable sailor and experienced Hylas owner, SERENITY 2 incorporates a wide array of unique features, design options, and aesthetic elements. Among which are her Frers' designed custom hardtop, cutting edge lithium-ion 24V electrical system, proportional thrust bow and stern thrusters, and exquisite interior arrangement.
The Hylas 56 is the result of decades worth of experience and careful consideration of the elements which make for a proper offshore yacht and the artful eye of one of the most iconic naval architects of modern times; German Frers. Built by one of the world's most revered semi-custom yacht builders, Queen Long Marine, the Hylas 56 is among the most popular models ever introduced by Hylas Yachts.
For the discerning buyer with an appreciation for thoughtful design, SERENITY 2 will be sure to impress. In addition to her extensive equipment inventory, she is among the few Hylas 56 that has been under the diligent care of a full-time crew since new. They have been under the employ of the owner for years and were intimately involved in her construction. Such attention is evident upon inspection of the yacht.

I agree with the fact that you need to move the camera from the person talking to whatever it is they are describing, however I thought that in general you got in a lot of detail, especially in regard to the quality of the build.

[@Once-I-had-a-dream]

Have seen quite a few yachts and this is one of the few ones that truly impresses me....

[@mk1gti]

I don't typically comment on these videos but this one deserves it. Both of you did an excellent job of pointing out all the features and benefits of the Hylas H56 in great detail. The video ran for 45 minutes but the time passed quickly and every minute spent watching it was beneficial, no fluff, just the facts ma'am. Again, great job and excellent work on giving us a great tour of a fantastic sailboat!

[@jerryware1970]

Very nice yacht

[@patrickhorgan8389]

What a beautifully designed and constructed vessel. Excellent presentation in interesting conditions. A tiny, tiny observation....... Galvanised 1/2' anchor chain and a significant stainless steel anchor, shackled together with a well-rusted galvanised shackle. Next owner might reconsider this arrangement.

[@DavidWaltersYachts]

Already swapped out! Keen eye though!

[@mk1gti]

This is something I noticed as well, could have used more fresh water washdowns when pulling that anchor up.

If this owner ever wants to give me serenity I'd be in complete serenity sailing around on this beautiful lady they did a great job looking after her absolutely stunning

Hermoso Velero un sueño. 😢

[@sucapizda]

That high gloss teak IS THE BOMB. Best looking interior I have seen so far. I would change the green leather to a Ivory colour and thats it.

안녕하세요 수고하셨습니다 감사합니다

[@mikeatfreo2112]

Nice boat but, if you are standing, or sitting at the helm, can you see the main sail or is it blocked by the hard top?

[@joeldelamirande5792]

Nice boat

[@DavidWaltersYachts]

Thanks! We think so to 😁

[@customflht]

Great video guys - very informative and nicely done but $1,250,000.00 US .... wow

[@DavidWaltersYachts]

Thanks for watching!

[@cairohollingsworth2272]

Wow...that's expensive

[@ronparcke-wms2146]

Nice presentation, beautiful looking yacht. However, I'm concerned about the batteries under the setee and the bed. I'd think maybe the energy eminating from the battery might be a problem especially of sleeping hours at a time on the bed over them. I think some kind of shielding would be helpful.

[@drx1xym154]

The batteries are low voltage, buddy. They are likely 12v or 24v and should be completely silent. A good battery system should not generate much heat, either. low voltage direct current is fairly safe and low or zero electro-magnetic noise.

[@ronparcke-wms2146]

@@drx1xym154 generally true, but as they say,"an oubce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." See Safetyskills website and search for lithium ion batteries on their site. Best temperature range for these batteries is between 40 F and 80 F. Also, search for potential for off-gassing of litium ion batteries. The battery banks ought to be well ventilated, especially away from you.

[@RockDocNeal]

Beautiful boat, but why would someone sell a boat that I'm sure cost them an incredible amount to buy only about 3 years ago???

[@crestfallengooner]

errr, asking price?

[@DavidWaltersYachts]

If you read the description it provides the link to the listing and current asking price.

[@crestfallengooner]

Many thanks.

Has Serenity already sold?

[@DavidWaltersYachts]

Yes!

[@laurence9695]

Fresh water is on a foot pump? I hope you're mistaken!!!

[@DavidWaltersYachts]

The freshwater foot pump is redundant to the dual electric pumps. Imagine you're in the middle of the Atlantic, lightning strikes, and you lose your electrical power? You'd really appreciate having a manual backup, wouldn't you?

Amazing build quality on these boats! Unfortunately for me the very steep companionway stairs (more like a ladder) is a deal breaker. When you go up and down 50 times per day it starts to get old. Some designers, eg Outbound 46, Jeanneau 440, are using stairs that are less steep. Just my opinion. Beautiful boat despite my concern.

[@drx1xym154]

become the stair master become the companion way master - not sure it is fair to compare a 56' to a 46', though. That is one nice, strong and deep boat! - a swing keel setup would be epic, though I know there are other design considerations (Southerly has those designs nailed!). - this looks a bit like an Oyster - or how a modern Oyster should be.

[@larsbee]

so ... that's a million bucks boat ... I take it after I sold my neighborhood... lol ...

[@jeffpribyl6488]

She’s a beautiful boat but please I’m here to see the boat do a voice over and get out of the shot

[@DavidWaltersYachts]

Happy to sell you one that you can see all the time without someone in front of you!
