S/V VANISHING POINT
Hylas 57 Next-Generation Systems Yacht
Vanishing Point was delivered approximately 18 months after Hull #2 arrived in the U.S., creating a rare opportunity: this yacht was completed after major design and systems advancements were identified, allowing her to leapfrog earlier boats in the series.
As a result, Vanishing Point has a full suite of next-generation systems, many of which later informed updates across the model linebut none executed to this level or scale.
