Sailing boat manufacturers adopted policy of approaching buyers with practical and creative solutions of cruiser-racers, enabling them to move from a racing field to another throughout the whole year. In this sense, designer Phillipe Briand demonstrated philosophy of the Italian shipyard Del Prado by designing sailing boat with a contemporary hull, efficient deck plan and high sailing performances. He neglected neither comfort nor idea that such sailing boat should be included in inventory lists of companies providing services for demanding clientele. For these purposes, interior consists of three cabins with own heads. The fourth one, accessible directly from the deck, is intended for a crew and situated in the bow, while saloon can accommodate additional two persons over night. Nevertheless, 56 is essentially a true owner´s sailing boat that best suits people who like spending time between races on long cruises and therefore need large comfortable space.
