Mystic 55 is a production design 17.0 m. (55.6') performance cruising yacht.

After four years research, working with the unique talents of Dubois Naval Architects and Redman Whiteley Design we have created an exceptional new yacht, combining the very latest in design, construction and technology with beautiful styling and craftsmanship. A yacht for the 21st century.

Twin forestays, self-tacking Solent jib, power winches and under-deck sail controls create a totally unobstructed deck - this sleek and purposeful yacht can be effortlessly sailed by just two.

Her epoxy sandwich construction is lighter, yet stronger than conventional yachts - and, no possibility of osmosis.

The contemporary elegance of her Redman Whiteley designed interior in American Cherry, emphasing light, space, comfort and efficiency is the finishing touch.

Immensely strong, the carbon fibre mullions that hold the curved tinted windows are almost invisible from the outside and ensure maximum visibility from within the yacht. The self-tacking Solent jib runs on the low friction curved track for perfect sail trim. Power primary and halliard winches are to hand in the large, deep cockpit. 6 can dine in comfort at the folding leaf table - which also gives security when the yacht is heeled.

The high aspect ratio sail plan ensures exceptional, effortless all-round performance.

The sprayhood extends sufficiently aft to give full protection to the forward section of the cockpit for those wet, cold days.

The Solent jib and reacher are led to adjusters on the mast, so no clutter, while the Solent jib sheet leads through stainless steel conduits under the deck to the cockpit.

The triple swept back spreader rig means no running backstays and is beautiful in its own right. Power winches are easily accessible to helmsman and crew alike.
