These Explorer Sailboats Will Take You To The Most Extreme Destinations

Love it mate look forward to the next one thanks

Amazing sailboats ⛵️! Mike from Missouri

Thanks for the run through on so many sweet rydes! No time wasted ; )

While you MAY be able to get away with winter or spring Artic sailing in the Pacific,, its not wise to do that in regions where there are iceburgs like Newfoundland, Labrodar NE Canada. My practicle Coast Guard experience is there are thousands of bergy bits, house sized ice burg pieces invisible at night in the Western high Atlantic, especially in the Spring. You run into one and your boat sinks.

Thanks for sharing the approximate cost of these exploration yachts. 👍

Love the Garcia Cat!

Would like to hear your opinion on the boats rather that just a regurgitation of copy from the brochures.

1- Garcia Exploration 60, 2- Garcia Exploration 52 / Boreal 55 OC, 3- Allures 51.9.

Palegic all the way !

I would love to have any of them

The Viator 42DS looks interesting. A new name for me, which I have not seen before, but will look into. The hybrid system makes it very interesting, not least the promise of a silent powered sail. I have been on a commercial fishing vessel for three years and I love sailing, but hate the sound of those droning diesel engines. I do love Garcia and Allures boats though, and actually are they build on the same shipyard, Allures actually, in best French boat building tradition, mostly being a brand of a Garcia inhouse design studio really, just like Jeanneau is to Beneteau. Garcia does not promise their catamaran to be suitable for Arctic or Antarctic sailing, but absolutely blue water and high latitude capable, which is not the same. People maybe trade a bit of the extreme performance with that one, but then win massive amounts of accommodation and comfort. I only have one thing to complain about with that one: I wish Garcia had gone all in on the forward cockpit, as Windelo: Both those helm positions, which they offer, are compromised. The dual open ones are fully exposed to the weather at all times and the raised Seawind style one in bad weather demands full lights out at the deck level living condition at night time. If you go to high latitudes at winter, which it is capable of, then that is lights out in your galley and living space for up to 18 hours of every day. The Garcia Exploration Cat does however by no means have a starting price of 700k Euro, which also would make it a catamaran bargain in the 50 feet range, and it is an absolutely high quality aluminium build. Try an absolutely bare bone base price of 1,7 million Euro instead! My favorite for this purpose of sailing though, you have somehow overlooked, which is also the one, that offers most value for the money: Alubat Ovni 37DS. Same overall layout as Garcia and Viator, but more protected cockpit and a true deck saloon, where you have full visibility to all sides from the entire central living space. It also is build in high grade marine aluminium, comes with lifting keel and can dry fall, and it got a base price of 280k Euro. Absolutely makes it a bargain explorer ready yacht. I also love Sirius yachts, but they are not build in aluminium, unfortunately.

Didn‘t think much of this video. You missed Boreal yachts.

Boreal 47.2

Nice synopsis.

Gracia is the one!!

Sadly you forgot the very serious explorer sailboat Boreal 47.2

Would love to find out about the garcia 60 exploration

Boreal 47.2 is also a good option.

Is carbon fiber only for preformance boats ? Would 4 layers be as strong as aluminium?
