2012 Hylas 56

Below deck, RELENTLESS offers the warm craftsmanship, intelligent layout, and offshore practicality that have long made the Hylas 56 so admired among experienced sailors. Her interior is beautifully finished in rich raised-panel teak cabinetry with cedar-lined lockers, complemented by elegant teak and ebony soles throughout. The atmosphere is both refined and inviting, with thoughtful customizations that elevate comfort for extended living aboard while preserving the secure, functional feel expected of a serious passagemaker.The three-cabin, two-head layout is exceptionally well suited for owner-operators planning long-range cruising, offering a generous aft owner’s stateroom, a forward VIP cabin with centerline queen berth, and a practical port guest cabin with upper and lower berths. The main living spaces are open, comfortable, and well ventilated, with added LED lighting, upgraded furnishings, and numerous owner-driven details that enhance both livability and safety underway. From the expansive main saloon to the highly functional nav station and well-appointed galley, RELENTLESS strikes an impressive balance between luxury and purpose.Interior Styling and Additional Features:Three-cabin, two-head owner’s layoutPremium teak joinery with raised-panel cabinetry throughoutTeak and ebony sole throughout interior, including both headsCedar-lined lockersAdditional LED overhead lighting with dimmer controlsCantalupi LED footlightsCustom interior detailing and owner-driven upgrades throughoutExcellent storage, secure handholds, and offshore practicalityMAIN SALOONThe main saloon aboard RELENTLESS is both elegant and exceptionally comfortable, designed to function as a true gathering space at anchor while remaining secure and practical underway. To port is an inviting L-shaped dinette centered around a beautifully crafted dining table with compass rose and ebony inlay, while to starboard a full-length settee provides additional lounging or sleeping space. Both seating areas were expanded for enhanced comfort, giving the saloon a notably more luxurious and livable feel than many yachts in this class.Natural warmth from the teak joinery is complemented by upgraded fabrics, carefully integrated lighting, and custom details throughout. The space also benefits from excellent storage behind and below the seating, continuous handrails for safe movement at sea, and a large Sony 55-inch OLED television discreetly integrated for onboard entertainment.Portside L-shaped dinette with custom compass rose and ebony inlaid tableExpanded 29-inch-deep seating for enhanced comfortFull-length starboard settee with custom cushionsStarboard settee converts for sleeping with removable lee clothAdditional overhead pad eyes for lee clothFolding single bench seatContinuous raised handrails port and starboardSony 55-inch OLED TV with Apple TVTall pole storage locker forward of mastExcellent storage access behind and below setteesEuropean-style headliner with wide edge battensAdditional AC and 12V outlets added at the factoryMASTER STATEROOMThe aft owner’s stateroom is a standout feature of RELENTLESS, offering the volume, privacy, and thoughtful detailing expected in a luxury bluewater cruiser. The centerline queen berth is easy to access from either side and fitted with a custom memory foam mattress, creating a true owner’s retreat for extended time aboard. Rich teak cabinetry, a starboard settee, redesigned hanging locker arrangements, and a vanity cabinet all contribute to a refined and highly functional space.This stateroom is particularly well suited for passagemaking as well, with numerous handholds, lee cloth attachment points, and thoughtful storage integrated throughout. The large aft hatch is teak-trimmed and fitted with an Ocean Air screen and shade, helping the cabin feel light, airy, and comfortable in a range of climates.Centerline queen berthCustom memory foam mattress with mattress fiddlesSix-drawer teak berth baseStarboard settee with custom cabinet layoutFlush-mounted air conditioning ventRedesigned starboard hanging locker with five drawersPort hanging locker with split cabinet doors and fiddle aboveVanity cabinet to portPanasonic 32-inch flat screen TV with Apple TVLarge teak-trimmed aft hatch with Ocean Air screen and shadeTeak handrails added to headliner for safetySix lee cloth pad eyes above berthThree lee cloths fitted for offshore useMaster HeadThe owner’s head is spacious, well finished, and thoughtfully arranged for both daily comfort and extended cruising practicality. Teak and ebony solework continues here, paired with mirrored cabinetry, a custom sink, imported fixtures, and a handsome black granite countertop. The separate shower stall is generously sized and fitted with a clear Lexan door, while the electric freshwater head and holding tank monitoring system support comfortable use aboard.A particularly valuable liveaboard feature is the Splendide vented washer/dryer, neatly mounted within the shower cabinet and vented to deck.Spacious private owner’s headTeak and ebony soleMirrored cabinetsCustom sink with imported faucetBlack granite countertopQuiet Flush electric headHolding tank monitorSealand discharge pumpLarge separate shower with clear Lexan doorFull mirror mounted outside head doorSplendide 2100 vented washer/dryerVIP STATEROOMForward, the VIP stateroom is bright, welcoming, and far more refined than the typical guest cabin arrangement found on many yachts.

The galley aboard RELENTLESS is exceptionally well executed, blending the warmth of traditional Hylas craftsmanship with the utility and equipment level of a true long-range cruising yacht. Located to port, it is secure, highly functional underway, and thoughtfully customized for an owner who clearly valued both serious cooking capability and life aboard at a very high standard. Generous refrigeration and freezer capacity, abundant cabinetry, strong counter fiddles, excellent ventilation, and premium appliances make this a galley that is equally suited to passagemaking, entertaining, or extended liveaboard use.What truly sets this space apart is the level of finish and customization. Raised-panel cabinetry, owner-designed drawer arrangements, concealed stainless work surfaces, excellent task lighting, and signature Queen Long details all create a galley that feels refined without sacrificing practicality. The addition of a custom La Marzocco GS/3 espresso machine and dedicated grinder elevates the space even further, giving RELENTLESS a distinctly upscale, owner-driven character rarely found in a brokerage yacht.Secure offshore galley with generous storage and work spaceForce 10 three-burner stoveGE convection/microwave ovenGas sensor, detection system, and alarmVitrifrigo double-drawer stainless refrigerationEither drawer may be used as refrigerator or freezerDedicated Frigoboat freezerU-Line ice maker with stainless faceBroan Elite stainless trash compactorCustom La Marzocco GS/3 espresso machineMazzer Luigi mini-electronic espresso grinder in custom roll-top cabinetCenter island section with hidden stainless steel work area beneath custom teak coverRaised-panel cabinetry with owner-designed drawer layoutDouble-routed teak fiddles along galley islandStainless steel sink with imported faucetBright LED task lighting above sinkQueen Long signature knife storage at forward end of galley counterFresh and salt water foot pumpsTwo opening ports outboardTwo additional opening ports to cockpit for cross ventilation

NAVIGATION STATIONThe navigation station aboard RELENTLESS is a true offshore command center, thoughtfully designed for serious passage planning, systems monitoring, and daily onboard management. Hylas and Queen Long have long been respected for building nav stations that are not merely decorative, and RELENTLESS carries that tradition forward with a custom L-shaped nav desk that is both elegant and exceptionally functional. The outboard-facing chart table, opening computer compartment, deep drawer storage, hinged electronics access panel, and modified return divider make this a workspace that will be appreciated by any owner planning extended cruising or passagemaking.This area has clearly been configured by an owner who understood the value of safe, practical onboard operations. The electrical panel and generator controls are intelligently arranged for ease of access, while extra AC outlets, dedicated storage, and a custom swing-out chair make the station comfortable and usable for real time spent onboard. It is a proper navigator’s workspace, integrated into the yacht rather than added as an afterthought.Custom Hylas L-shaped navigation stationOutboard-facing bi-fold chart tableOpening computer compartment aftHinged instrument panel for easy electronics accessDeep drawers with lower filing cabinetCustom swing-out chair with rounded seat backModified return divider at nav stationElectrical panel arranged to preserve chart work spaceGenerator controls mounted within easy reachAmple extra 110V AC outletsFan over nav station deskExcellent storage and organization for passage planning and onboard systems managementELECTRONIC SYSTEMSRELENTLESS benefits from an impressive and highly capable electronics package designed to support confident coastal cruising, offshore passagemaking, and extended time away from shore support. At the heart of the system is a premium B&G H3000 navigation suite, a setup long respected by experienced sailors for its precision, expandability, and offshore credibility. This is complemented by modern Zeus 3S multifunction displays, HALO24 radar, integrated AIS, advanced communications equipment, and robust onboard connectivity.The communications and monitoring systems are equally impressive, with Starlink, Iridium Go, a Sierra Wireless 5G and Wi-Fi router, and an upgraded GOST security and tracking system, giving RELENTLESS an exceptional level of situational awareness, connectivity, and onboard security. Whether navigating offshore, working remotely from anchor, or keeping in touch with shore-side support, this yacht is very well equipped by any standard.Premium B&G H3000 navigation system42-inch carbon fiber Vertical Mast Head UnitNKE sonic boat speed sensorB&G ZG-GPS receiver with backup Airmar WAAS GPSB&G H3000 ACP2 autopilot computerB&G Halcyon gyro-stabilized heading sensorFour B&G 20/20 displaysTriton color wind displayB&G Zeus 3S 12-inch display at helmB&G Zeus 3S 16-inch display at nav stationB&G HALO24 radarWireless B&G autopilot controllerNavico Class-B AIS networked to both Zeus displaysIcom M604 DSC VHF radioCommand Mic at helmStarlink HD marinized systemIridium Go with external antenna and fixed installation kitSierra Wireless MG90 network hub with 5G and Wi-Fi routerUpgraded GOST security and tracking systemFusion RA770 stereo with four zones and eight speakersFusion Apollo 8-channel amplifierMajestic marine TV antennaHELM STATIONThe helm aboard RELENTLESS is exceptionally well laid out for both short-handed sailing and long-distance passagemaking, with controls, displays, and sail-handling systems configured to allow safe and efficient operation from the cockpit. The custom Whitlock steering pedestal with integral Mamba steering system and Whitlock DU120 autopilot drive is a notable upgrade, offering a substantial, well-engineered helm arrangement that reflects the yacht’s serious bluewater intent. A custom stainless leathered steering wheel further adds to the helm’s refined and purposeful feel.From the helm, the skipper benefits from excellent access to the B&G multifunction display, autopilot controls, radar, chain counter, command mic, and the yacht’s electric sail-handling systems. Combined with the Antal electric winches, electric traveler controls, furling systems led safely aft, and thoughtful safety details throughout the cockpit, the helm on RELENTLESS is set up to make this 56-footer genuinely manageable without sacrificing capability.Custom Whitlock steering pedestalIntegral Mamba steering systemWhitlock DU120 autopilot driveCustom stainless leathered steering wheelB&G H3000 multifunction graphic display at helmAutopilot controls at helmB&G Zeus 3S 12-inch color display/plotterHALO24 radar integration at helmIcom Command Mic at helmMaxwell chain counter at helmElectric Antal primary and secondary winchesElectric Antal mainsheet and companionway control winchesElectric powered traveler line driverHeadsail and staysail furling controls led safely aft to cockpitCockpit safety pad eyes near companionway and helmThoughtfully arranged for short-handed operation and offshore passagemaking

HULLThe hull of RELENTLESS was built to the serious standards expected of a true offshore cruising yacht. She features solid hand-laid GRP construction reinforced with Twaron carbon aramid fiber, paired with vinylester resins and isophthalic gelcoat for strength, durability, and long-term resistance to osmosis. A two-layer epoxy barrier coat and tie coat further enhance hull protection and bottom paint adhesion, reinforcing the yacht’s long-range cruising credentials.Beyond her technical construction, RELENTLESS also presents beautifully. Her Awlgrip Flag Blue hull with white cove stripe was refreshed and polished in December 2025, and the bottom was re-antifouled at the same time. Two watertight bulkheads—one forming a forward collision bulkhead and the other protecting the stern section forward of the lazarettes—add another layer of offshore security that experienced buyers will immediately appreciate.Solid hand-laid GRP hull reinforced with Twaron carbon aramid fiberVinylester resin constructionIsophthalic gelcoatTwo-layer epoxy barrier coat and tie coatForward collision bulkheadWatertight stern section forward of lazarettesAwlgrip Flag Blue hull with white cove stripeHull refreshed and polished in December 2025Bottom re-antifouled with two coats of Petit Vivid red in December 2025Lead fin keel with bulbGerman Frers hull design with proven offshore pedigreeDECKThe deck layout aboard RELENTLESS reflects the Hylas philosophy of building yachts that are elegant in appearance, secure underway, and practical for extended cruising. Teak decks, teak on the coach roof, and a teak cockpit sole and seating area create the classic appearance buyers expect in a yacht of this caliber, while structural and safety enhancements make the deck equally well suited to serious offshore use.Owner-driven upgrades throughout the deck arrangement improve safety, function, and ease of use. Extended lifeline and rail arrangements, additional mooring cleats, custom davit bases, a liferaft cradle, dual antenna mounts, and thoughtful anchoring details all reinforce the impression of a yacht that has been equipped by knowledgeable owners for real-world cruising rather than casual seasonal use.Teak decks and teak-clad coach roofTeak cockpit sole and seatingCustom teak varnished cap railFull-length teak rub rail with stainless strikerUpgraded stainless steel pushpit with integral teak stern seatsPushpit railing extended to midship gates for added safetyCustom liferaft cradleCustomized sail locker hatch forwardDual satellite and antenna mounting poleFresh water chain wash-down in anchor lockerAdditional midship mooring cleats port and starboardAdditional aft mooring cleats at stern cornersMaxwell VWC 2200 windlassRocna stainless steel anchor with 100 meters of chainCOCKPITTeak cockpit sole and seatsMediterranean Sunbrella cockpit cushionsCustom Whitlock steering pedestalCustom stainless leathered steering wheelCockpit safety pad eyes near companionway and helmCustom cockpit under-table lightingIntegrated teak stern seats in upgraded pushpitMaxwell chain counter at helmElectric sail handling arranged for short-handed sailingSimpson electric davits with Dyneema gearbox retrofit and custom stainless basesExcellent balance of offshore practicality and cruising comfortMAST AND RIGGINGSelden electric in-mast furling systemRod kicker compression vangInternal boom preventerHalyard locking racksFurlex 400 headsail furler with controls led aftFurlex 400 staysail furler with controls led aftSelden carbon spinnaker poleVertical spinnaker pole stowage system with coverSpreader-mounted deck lightsHarken stand-up blocks for spinnaker sheetsUpgraded Antal 150mm XXL double deck genoa turning blocksDyneema soft running backstaysDual jib halyardsDual spinnaker halyardsLED steaming lightLED anchor lightLED running lightsStanding rigging replaced in 2024SAILS AND WINCHESElvstrom EPEX fat furl fully battened mainsail (2024)Elvstrom 140% EPEX genoa (2024)Doyle staysailDoyle 1.5 oz asymmetrical spinnakerDoyle ¾ oz asymmetrical spinnakerATN spinnaker sleeves for both asymmetrical spinnakersElectric Antal primary winchesElectric Antal secondary winchesElectric Antal mainsheet winchElectric Antal companionway control winchesHarken travelerAntal electric-powered traveler line driverWinch upgrades representing over $25,000 in added valuePowerful, highly upgraded sail-handling package for short-handed cruising and passagemaking

ENGINE AND MECHANICALRELENTLESS is powered and equipped the way a proper bluewater cruising yacht should be—with dependable machinery, thoughtful redundancy, and systems chosen to support long-range independence and confident operation offshore. Her 150 HP Yanmar diesel provides the power and reliability expected for a yacht of this size, while key supporting systems such as the generator, shaft seal, bow thruster, watermaker, climate control, and fuel management equipment demonstrate a very high level of owner investment and offshore readiness.A major strength of RELENTLESS is that her machinery installation goes beyond simple specification and speaks to real-world cruising practicality. From dedicated AGM start batteries for both main engine and generator, to dual Racor filtration, manifold tank selection, a high-output PTO alternator, and a new Clark pump for the Spectra watermaker in 2025, this is a yacht that has been set up to travel well, stay comfortable, and remain self-sufficient for extended periods away from the dock. Her Cruise-Air reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat system, with individual compressor units for the forward cabin, main saloon, and aft owner’s stateroom, further supports true all-season cruising comfort.Yanmar 4BY2-150 150 HP diesel engineKanzaki transmissionShaft driveMax-Prop 4-blade feathering propeller with line cutterDedicated Lifeline 4D AGM engine starting batteryPSS shaft sealNorthern Lights 9kW generator with sound shieldDedicated Lifeline AGM generator starting batteryDual Racor 75500 fuel filtrationFuel tank selection manifold for engine and generatorMastervolt 130A PTO-mounted alternatorNMEA 2000 engine data connectionsCruise-Air reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating12,000 BTU unit for forward cabin16,000 BTU unit for main saloon16,000 BTU unit for aft owner’s stateroomUpdated digital A/C controlsSidepower 155 KGS 24V bow thrusterSpectra Newport 1000 watermaker with remote control at nav stationNew Clark pump for watermaker in 2025Bauer dive compressor with dedicated AC electrical connections aftXintex Fireboy HFC-227 clean-agent fire suppression systemPLUMBING AND TANKAGEThe plumbing and tankage systems aboard RELENTLESS reflect the priorities of a serious passagemaking yacht: generous capacity, quality materials, and the flexibility needed for extended time aboard. With three stainless steel freshwater tanks, five stainless steel fuel tanks, and two fiberglass holding tanks of 27 gallons each, she offers the kind of range and autonomy that experienced cruisers value. Tank monitoring is integrated at the nav station, allowing for straightforward systems oversight underway or at anchor.Daily onboard comfort is equally well supported, with dual freshwater pressure pumps, hot water via shore power or engine heat exchanger, gray water discharge for the galley, quality bronze seacocks throughout, and both fresh and saltwater foot pumps in the galley. Taken together, the plumbing arrangement on RELENTLESS is robust, practical, and very well suited to liveaboard or offshore use.Fresh water capacity: 1,075 liters / 280 gallonsThree stainless steel freshwater tanksFuel capacity: 1,040 liters / 275 gallonsFive stainless steel fuel tanksTwo fiberglass holding tanks, 27 gallons eachSensoTex fuel and water tank gauges at nav stationDual Shurflo freshwater pressure pumpsFreshwater tank selection manifoldSpectra Newport 1000 watermakerSeaward 19-gallon hot water tankHot water via 120V AC or engine heat exchangerWhale galley gray water discharge systemGroco bronze seacocks with threaded through-hull valves throughoutFresh and saltwater foot pumps in galleyELECTRICAL SYSTEMNorthern Lights 9kW generator with sound shield15kVA isolation transformer with cooling fans125/250V 50-amp shore power connectionMastervolt Mass Combi 12/4000-watt inverter / 200-amp chargerMastervolt 12/50-amp chargers (3) networked to main battery bank monitorMastervolt Easy View 5 control display at nav stationLifeline AGM house battery bankFour 8D AGM batteries aftTwo 8D AGM batteries forwardSeparate Lifeline 3100 thruster battery24V thruster battery arrangementSolbian solar panels: 144W x 4 and 103W x 2Total solar capacity of 782WCustom removable solar panel mounts on biminiMastervolt SCM60 ChargeMaster MPPT controllers (2)1,800W solar charging capacityDedicated AGM starting batteries for engine and generatorExtensive onboard charging, inverter, and monitoring capability for long-range cruisingAUDIO/VISUAL AND ENTERTAINMENT EQUIPMENTSony 55-inch OLED TV in main saloonApple TV in main saloonPanasonic 32-inch TV in owner’s stateroomApple TV in owner’s stateroomSamsung 21-inch TV in forward cabinApple TV in forward cabinFusion RA770 stereoFour audio zonesEight speakersFusion Apollo MS-AP82400 8-channel amplifierMajestic UFO XL marine powered TV antennaStereo volume control in owner’s stateroomWell-integrated entertainment system throughout the yachtSAFETY EQUIPMENTRocna stainless steel anchor100 meters / 300 feet of 3/8-inch anchor chainLifesling 2 man overboard rescue systemSix-person liferaftLiferaft serviced and repacked in 2024Life jacketsFlaresSignal hornEmergency tillerFire extinguishersFireboy automatic fire extinguisher in engine roomXintex Fireboy HFC-227 clean-agent fire suppression systemStainless steel swim ladder on transomCustom Jordan Series Drogue, new in 2024 and unusedCockpit safety pad eyes at companionway and helmWatertight collision bulkhead forwardWatertight stern section forward of lazarettesTENDER3.8-meter Hypalon Inmar inflatable tenderTender new in 2023Suzuki 20 HP 4-stroke outboardOutboard new in 2024E-Propulsion 2.0 electric motorBattery for electric motorSolar charger for electric motorSimpson electric davitsFactory Dyneema gearbox retrofit on davitsCustom stainless davit basesRed 40-liter / 10-gallon diesel tankComplete and versatile tender package for cruising and shore access

BROKER’S COMMENTSRELENTLESS is the kind of yacht that stands out immediately to an experienced buyer. The Hylas 56 has long been regarded as one of the most capable and elegant bluewater cruising yachts in her class, and this example benefits from the pedigree of German Frers design, the renowned build quality of Queen Long Marine, and an ownership profile that clearly prioritized meaningful upgrades, serious maintenance, and real offshore capability.What makes RELENTLESS especially compelling is how complete the package feels. The hull presentation, 2024 sail inventory, 2024 standing rigging, premium B&G electronics suite, Starlink, watermaker, generator, solar, bow thruster, upgraded electric winches, and beautifully customized interior all combine to create a yacht that offers both immediate pride of ownership and genuine cruising readiness. She has the warmth and elegance buyers want in a Hylas, but also the systems depth and offshore outfitting that seasoned passagemakers look for when comparing boats in this size and price range.For the buyer seeking a late-model, high-quality bluewater yacht with true owner-level customization and a serious inventory, RELENTLESS represents an outstanding opportunity.REVIEWSThe Hylas 56 earned significant third-party recognition when Cruising World named her Best Premium Cruiser Over 55 Feet in its 2011 Boat of the Year awards. In its coverage, the judges said the boat succeeded by taking “tried-and-true ideas” and presenting them in an “exquisite package,” a concise summary of why the model continues to hold such strong appeal among experienced bluewater buyers.That same editorial review praised the boat’s execution in exactly the areas that matter most to serious cruisers: sturdy construction, robust deck hardware, thoughtful storage, strong systems installation, and accommodations that remain safe and comfortable at sea. In the broader Boat of the Year write-up, the judges concluded, “If it ain’t broke, make it better,” noting that the Hylas 56’s robust winches, ground tackle, storage, and overall fit and finish addressed the needs of serious cruisers exceptionally well.Cruising World’s technical judge Ed Sherman was especially complimentary about the quality of the build and systems access, writing, “The workmanship is excellent,” and adding that Hylas had done “a magnificent job with the systems installation.” That kind of praise is particularly meaningful on a yacht in this class, where long-term ownership satisfaction is often driven less by cosmetics alone and more by the integrity, accessibility, and execution of the underlying systems.Taken together, the editorial consensus around the Hylas 56 is clear: this is a yacht respected not for gimmicks or short-lived trends, but for doing the fundamentals exceptionally well. Strong construction, elegant but seaworthy accommodations, high-quality systems, and owner-friendly passagemaking features are precisely what have made the model so enduringly admired in the bluewater market.
