The Bluewater 56 (FRERS) is a 16.5-meter masthead sloop designed by German Frers and built by Xiamen Hansheng Yacht Building (CHN) for Bluewater Yachts, with production beginning in 2011. Originally sold as the Hylas 56, Bluewater Yachts acquired the molds and renamed the model.0:49 It features a solid laminate hull reinforced with Teijin Twaron para-aramid fiber, hand-laid with vinyl ester resin without foam or balsa coring.1:53 The hull construction uses 16 to 24 alternating layers of fiberglass and aramid fiber, which Bluewater Yachts claims matches 8–10 mm aluminum in strength.1:16:51 Safety features include watertight bulkheads, an externally bolted lead keel, and a 60% skeg-supported rudder.3:26 Aboard *Be The Captain*, James Evenson commissioned hull number nine, a cutter-rigged version, and addressed factory defects including a missing windlass solenoid and incorrect electric furler wiring.12:13 The boat typically uses Selden spars and hardware, with controls led to the cockpit. Commissioning involves lifting the vessel from a shipping cradle, verifying systems, and configuring a 2,000 amp-hour, 24-volt lithium battery system. The Bluewater 56 includes a cedar-lined interior, four refrigeration units, and a walk-around master cabin bed.46:56
