The Truly Classic 56 Belphegor is a charming yacht that is equally suited to family cruising and bluewater expeditions. Like all Holland Jachtbouw sloops, she has a finely tuned profile, graceful lines, a tall powerful rig, an efficient modern underbody, automated sailing gear and fine interior woodwork. The yacht offers an excellent performance in both light and heavy airs.

Despite her size, Belphegor still has room for an aft deckhouse large enough to accommodate a navigation station and sofa. The rest of the interior volume is similarly optimised, with an intimate open plan salon, two guest cabins to aft and an owners’ suite forward. She has proven ideal for a couple to sail shorthanded, while having plentiful accommodation to invite four friends along for the most comfortable of cruises.
