BROKER’S COMMENTSChe Figata is not simply a well-optioned Hylas 56; she is a fully realized passagemaker with the systems, layout, and history to support ambitious cruising plans from day one. Her recent circumnavigation, extensive upgrades, shoal-draft configuration, serious energy package, and quality of ownership make her a standout opportunity among late-model Hylas 56s.Recently returned from a circumnavigation with experienced second owners who completed the vast majority of the miles doublehandedHighly desirable 3-cabin / 2-head Hylas 56 layout with shoal-draft keel and center cockpitExtensive bluewater specification including lithium power, solar, hydrogenerator, generator, watermaker, upgraded electronics, electric furling, and serious safety equipmentStrong recent-upgrade history across hull finish, bottom work, canvas, electronics, electrical system, shaft components, sanitation hoses, and safety equipmentExcellent candidate for owners seeking a proven offshore platform rather than a lightly used coastal cruiser
