The Hylas H57 is a new bluewater sailing yacht from designer Bill Dixon — a perfect blend of classic Hylas heritage, contemporary good looks, and the latest construction and design technology, built by the third-generation family-owned Queen Long Marine yard. Dual helm stations and twin rudders deliver control and visibility, while the double-spreader Solent rig with self-tacking jib and push-button in-mast furling keeps sail handling effortless. She was named overall winner of Cruising World's 2022 Boat of the Year — judges called her “a very strong boat in many, many ways” — and received the Best New Yacht Development award from the Yacht Building Association of Taiwan.
Below decks, a luxurious owner's suite forward — crowned by an extended skylight — and a full-beam VIP guest stateroom aft anchor a 3-cabin layout (with utility room / crew quarters option) that suits live-aboard couples or extended cruising with friends and family. Fuel, water and the 615–820 Ah lithium battery bank all sit low and centered over the keel for optimal performance, with climate control running silently through the night at anchor or on a mooring.
