Hylas Collection / Epic Journey
2010 Hylas 56 For Sale
Epic Journey could be referred to as a modern classic. Her rich teak interior, classic dark blue hull, raised panelling, and sensible build options evoke memories of sailing history. These and many other attributes are enhanced by her modern amenities and updated styling. The blend of eras brings forth the best of both worlds. Epic Journey is a joy to behold and even more inviting to sail. In-mast furling, push button winches, and new electronics are a few of the options that allow owners to be comfortable underway, even while sailing with just a couple. Making this Hylas 56 even more appealing is the high level of care lavished upon her by her first two owners.

Epic Journey Highlights
Cockpit
Easy to reach winches and plenty of space for lounging or sleeping while on watch are some of the aspects that make the Hylas 56 cockpit one of the best for a boat this size. Deep cockpit backs, a single helm, and plentiful handholds are hallmarks of a cockpit that is designed to be safe at sea. Beyond the typical Hylas attributes, Epic Journey also features a low profile pedestal and new helm chart plotter.
Hull & Deck
A brightly finished teak toe rail, stout teak rub rail, dark blue hull, white boot stripes, and a gold cove stripe highlight Epic Journey’s classic good looks. She evokes thoughts and dreams of quiet anchorages filled with classic yachts ready to slip their lines and head to sea for a fine day of yachting. Don’t let these good looks fool you. While an easy daysail is well within her purview, Epic Journey is made for fast, comfortable offshore passages and she is well-founded for even the most rigorous of journeys. A feature not to be overlooked is the fact that Epic Journey is one of few boats in this class that is truly shoal draft.
Sail Plan
Comfortable cruising can be defined by how easy life is aboard. Being able to unfurl or shorten the main with a push of a button certainly contributes to a simple sail plan. Epic Journey has oversized electric primary winches as do many of the Hylas 56’s. However, making sailing even easier are her electric secondary winches and electric mainsheet winch. This package allows sailors to easily manipulate the sails on the cutter rigged boat. Epic Journey also boasts low-hour, high-care Doyle sails that power her easily driven hull through the seas.
Interior Spaces
Owners and guests are greeted by a warm, rich, interior that features the fine cabinetry that Hylas Yachts were once known for. The teak interior woodworking is enhanced by raised paneled cabinets and doors. While the blue fabric does give her a classic feeling, the large salon windows and the bamboo sole keep the main salon bright and open feeling. Cruising families need plenty of storage and Epic Journey has three cabins, each with large lockers. Some owners may even use the third cabin as a work room or dedicated storage space.
Galley
The galley is large but because of the passageway design it is also safe. Plenty of place to brace oneself while cooking or simply moving from the salon to the master cabin. Beyond being a large enough galley for two people to work in with plenty of ventilation, the inboard side offers access to the engine room. The ability to quickly look at the engine is made even easier by the opening companionway stairs and additional opening doors in the navigation station. Completing the galley on Epic Journey are the opening hatches above the centerline sink and over the outboard stove. Small details make the difference and Epic Journey was planned as a true liveaboard yacht.
Cabins
Epic Journey’s three comfortable cabins each have attributes that make them worthy of owners or guests. There are no compromises when it comes to these climate controlled spaces. The master cabin is aft, separated from the main salon by the length of the galley, making it as private as possible on a boat of this size. The ensuite head and stall shower further enhance this cabin. The forward cabin also has a private entrance to the shared second head. This cabin, while not as big as the aft cabin, has the benefit of excellent ventilations while on the hook. The third cabin may not be as big as the others, but is a fantastic place to sleep during offshore passages. Each cabin has unique benefits that are much appreciated.
