Started sailing4 years ago and love it. Took all the ASA courses, went to all the boat shows and, most importantly, chartered in exotic locations (Turkey, Greece, Tuamotus). Decided on a Hylas 56 in October, 2010, ours is hull #7. [...] She was delivered 12/17/2011!!! UPDATE, Have been sailing Tioga from Kittery, Maine to the Exumas each winter for the past 3 years and love it!
