Popular questions
Do aluminium yachts require more maintenance than fiberglass?

Aluminum yachts do not require more maintenance but they require specific attention. The main points to consider are:

  • Monitoring sacrificial anodes
  • Ensuring proper electrical system integrity to prevent stray current corrosion
  • Maintaining protective coatings when applicable

When correctly designed and maintained aluminum hulls are extremely durable and predictable over time. One major advantage of aluminum yachts for world cruising is reparability. Aluminum can be welded and repaired in most parts of the world making it ideal for autonomous long distance navigation.

Why are aluminium yachts considered the safest for bluewater cruising?

Aluminium yachts are widely regarded as the safest choice for bluewater cruising because of their structural resilience and impact resistance. Unlike fiberglass aluminium is ductile. It absorbs shock energy and can deform without catastrophic failure. In offshore sailing where collisions with floating debris containers or ice are real possibilities this ability significantly reduces structural risk. For long distance sailors navigating remote oceans safety is not about avoiding risk. It is about managing it. An aluminium hull provides an additional margin of security especially when sailing far from assistance or repair facilities. In bluewater cruising confidence in your structure means confidence in your journey.

What are the possible layouts for the Garcia Explocat 52?

In the owner version, the starboard hull is entirely dedicated to a suite, with a large bathroom. In the Guest version, in the port hull, the laundry room gives way to another bathroom. And in the Family version, each hull offers two double cabins.
