Outbound 56 BAREFOOT, the strikingly customized version of the renowned Hylas 56, is a robust and exceptionally capable German Frers design, crafted by the prestigious Han Sheng Yachts. Known for her exhilarating performance and outstanding layout, she is an ideal yacht for long-distance cruising. Completed in the final quarter of 2019 and officially commissioned in 2020, BAREFOOT benefits from the most modern features and a near-new condition.
Following her delivery, the owner took the opportunity to enhance and upgrade the yacht extensively. A comprehensive list of improvements was drawn up and carried out between 2021 and 2022 by the highly regarded Nautor’s Swan Global Service team in Badalona, Spain. This selection was made due to their expertise in working with premium yachts, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
A full refit report is available upon request, providing an in-depth overview of all enhancements made.
Outbound 56 BAREFOOT is essentially like new, and her owner has sailed her with care. She spent three months cruising in the Bahamas during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and then enjoyed several weeks in the Mediterranean between 2020 and 2023, fully embracing the joys of the open sea.
In 2024, BAREFOOT was not actively sailed, but in September she was navigated to Algeria and back for export from the EU. In November, she underwent her annual haul-out for scheduled maintenance, which included antifouling, prop speed treatment, anode replacement, and other essential upkeep. As always, she has been impeccably maintained by the expert Berthon Spain service team. Her engine and generator hours remain impressively low, and she has benefited from meticulous professional management, following a strict preventative maintenance program.
With an exceptional level of specification, BAREFOOT is now primed and ready for extensive cruising. She is not only fast and exhilarating to sail but also a truly beautiful yacht that will turn heads wherever she goes.
