Hva denne videoen dekker

The Passport Vista 545 and the Hylas 56 represent two distinct approaches to the million-dollar, ocean-crossing monohull market. The Passport Vista 545, a 40,000-pound vessel with a 15-foot beam, features a 38% ballast-to-displacement ratio and a Bill Dixon-designed fin keel with a skeg-mounted rudder. Its deck layout includes high bulwarks, a 63.5-foot ICW-friendly Selden in-mast furling rig, and Harken electric primary winches. The interior offers an L-shaped galley, a dedicated mechanical room with standing headroom, and a forward master stateroom. In contrast, the Hylas 56 weighs 50,000 pounds, carries 20,000 pounds of ballast, and doubles the Passport’s 250-gallon fuel and water capacities. As a center-cockpit design, the Hylas 56 prioritizes interior volume, featuring a walk-through galley and a spacious aft master stateroom that provides two private, full-sized sleeping quarters. While both boats share similar dimensions and build quality from Taiwan, the Hylas offers greater tankage and living space, whereas the Passport provides a more traditional layout.
