Garcia Exploration 45

Garcia 45 Exploration 2023 version Owner – first hand - available Cherbourg immediately!

The Exploration 45 is the reference sailboat of the Exploration range from Garcia. The concept was to build a full keel sailboat with an aluminum hull dedicated to long voyages. The Garcia 45 was born from the sailing experience of Jimmy Cornell combined with the Berret-Racoupeau design office. After hundreds of thousands of nautical miles accumulated, Jimmy Cornell wanted to create the perfect boat, capable of taking its crew to the ends of the earth in both icy and tropical conditions. This resulted in the creation of a unique sailboat, the Exploration 45.

Equipped with two rudders, it performs very well at sea and remains easily maneuverable under any conditions. It will allow you to navigate all the seas of the globe. The maneuvers are grouped in the cockpit under the dog house to secure and facilitate adjustments or sail changes while sailing. You can easily move around the deck thanks to the numerous handrails within reach as well as the mast foot balconies. The sail locker separated by a watertight bulkhead at the front allows for easy storage of a complete set of sails. In the saloon, you will find a warm and bright interior.

You will particularly enjoy an incredible panoramic view, and it will be entirely possible to enjoy the comfort of the saloon while controlling the boat from the interior watch station.
