CONSTRUCTION AND KEY FEATURES OF THE HULL AND DECKHULL
The hull of THE GLASS SLIPPER features solid hand-laid Twaron carbon aramid fiber reinforced GRP constructed with Vinylester resins and isophthalic gelcoat. A two-layer epoxy barrier coat and tie coat are used to adhere the bottom paint to the hull better as well as to prevent and protect against osmosis. The hull structure includes two watertight bulkheads: a collision bulkhead forward at the bow and a watertight stern section across the aft lazarettes.
In April 2023, the yacht was repainted with Black Awlgrip, a white cove stripe, and white boot stripes at the waterline. At the same time, the bottom was redone with fresh black bottom paint. The new paint job looks fantastic!
- NEW BLACK AWLGRIP HULL PAINT, WHITE COVE AND BOOT STRIPE - April 2023
- 2 Epoxy barrier coats below the waterline with fresh bottom paint in April 2023.
- Teak rub rail with stainless steel capping below the sheerline.
- Solid hand-laid Twaron carbon aramid fiber reinforced GRP hull with vinyl ester resins and isophthalic gelcoat for superb strength and stiffness and a hull well protected against osmosis and blistering.
- Watertight collision bulkhead forward with independent overboard drainage and watertight stern sections across aft lazarettes and stern locker.
- Partially skegged rudder for optimal strength and protection - The bottom of the rudder plane is above the keel for grounding safety.
- Solid lead shoal draft keel with 316L stainless steel 35 mm keel bolts and transverse-mounted 8 mm backing plates
- Two, one inch copper bonding strips integrated into the hull, running the length of each side of the yacht.
- Six, flush mounted hull windows custom designed to retain the flush appearance of the hull. Two located in the master stateroom, two in the main salon, and two in the forward VIP cabin.
DECK
The deck of THE GLASS SLIPPER is constructed of hand-laid laminates with a 3/4-inch end-grain balsa core. The deck is solid fiberglass in high-stress areas, such as where deck fittings are taking compressive or tensile loads. The hull-to-deck joint is chemically bonded with 3M 5200 and mechanically fastened with stainless steel through bolts. The bow is well protected with a sturdy 316 stainless steel stem fitting with a striker plate and double bow roller, a signature feature of every Hylas Yacht.
The deck is finished with a Crème colored molded non-skid deck which looks fantastic and contrasts nicely with the white gelcoat and black hull. In addition, the deck is purposely bare of varnished teak. The handholds and stern seats are all stainless steel, while the teak cap rail and rub rail have been kept natural.

- Modern deck salon design with six wrap-around windows, including a pair port and starboard and two forward - delivers an incredible amount of natural light and beautiful views from the main salon.
COCKPIT
The cockpit of the Hylas 56 is a tremendous improvement from the model's predecessor, the Hylas 54. The benches are long enough to enable someone over 6' tall to lounge out and cat nap while not impeding upon the helmsman. Sitting eight adults around the cockpit is entirely comfortable and still has room to maneuver under sail. This is especially true with THE GLASS SLIPPER, where her cockpit table was designed to fold up and out of the way while not in use. In addition, the yacht has a more modern sole design featuring teak planking and outboard water catchments with large scuppers for drainage.
Visibility from behind the helm is superb, and the mainsheet, primary and secondary winches are within close reach of the helmsman. Each with pushbutton controls for effortless maneuvers. Careful attention has been paid to the ergonomic design and functionality of the cockpit.

MAST AND RIGGINGWhile unmistakably gorgeous and designed to be a luxury yacht, THE GLASS SLIPPER is also a serious sailor's dream. Many desirable design choices were made to enhance the yacht's performance, versatility, and ease of handling.
The carbon fiber 7/8 fractional keel stepped performance mast, custom developed by Selden, is eight feet taller than the standard Hylas 56 rig and is paired with a carbon fiber Park Avenue pocket boom. This enables the yacht to carry much more sail area, greatly enhancing the yacht's performance. Another desirable upgrade is the NavTec solid rod rigging, which is substantially stronger than traditional 1x19 strand wire rigging. Other performance upgrades include a GMT Carbon fiber whisker pole, a custom stainless steel bow sprit, NavTec hydraulic controls, and cylinders for the vang and backstay.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
One of the most desirable features of THE GLASS SLIPPER is her new lithium house battery system and solar panels. This upgrade, completed in March 2021, has vastly improved the yacht's self-sufficiency and ability to remain independent of shore for extended periods. The 12V house bank comprises six 200Ah Smart LiFePO4 Victron Energy batteries for a total house bank of 1,200 Ah. With this Victron system you can operate the air conditioning, induction cooktop, and all other 110V/220V electrical systems completely independent of the generator or shore power.
