The all carbon and epoxy HH56 has been completely re-designed, starting with an extension to the hull for additional waterline length, increased carrying capacity and improved LWL performance through the water.

The HHH56 includes our EcoDrive system, an industry leading parallel-hybrid propulsion system that retains the benefits and reliability of two trusty diesel engines yet combines them with high-powered 48V electric motors that can propel the boat without noise, fumes or vibration. And when motoring or at anchor, each hybrid engine can rapidly charge the large lithium-ion battery bank, removing the need for a generator; saving space, weight, and results in one less diesel engine onboard that needs servicing. 

The HH56 comes with a new deck design based around a streamlined silhouette and a forward cockpit where all sail handling is performed, increasing safety with easier single-handed operation possible.

The forward cockpit also allows for several key advantages: the large cabin top area (void of lines or biminis) nearly doubles solar charging capacity, a lowered boom allows for an increased mainsail area with a lower center of effort, and the forward cockpit doors and windows provide generous ventilation through the salon and aft cockpit (which is more spacious with the traveler moved to the coachroof), making the forward nets easier to access.

For the interior we've integrated the modern styling of the HH44 and HH52. We completely reengineered the furniture layout that integrates a traditional island in the galley for improved flow throughout the salon, a larger cockpit optimized for socialization with seating on all four sides, huge safari windows to retain the opening between the salon and galley and improve the use of space in the middle of the boat, and modern interior design touches to elevate the comfort and aesthetics.
