Garcia 45 Exploration 2017 Owner's version - comfort - former Pete Goss boat!!!!

TTC Europe, available at FIDJI in the Pacific !

The Exploration 45 is the flagship of Garcia's Exploration range. The concept was to build a centerboarder with an aluminium hull dedicated to blue water cruising. The Garcia 45 is the result of Jimmy Cornell's sailing experience in partnership with Berret-Racoupeau. After accumulating hundreds of thousands of nautical miles, Jimmy Cornell wanted to create the perfect boat, capable of taking his crew to the ends of the earth in both ice and tropical programs. The result was a unique sailboat, the Exploration 45. 

Equipped with two rudders, it behaves very well at sea and is easy to handle in all conditions. It will enable you to sail all the seas of the globe. Maneuvers are grouped together in the cockpit under the dog house, to make trimming and sail changes safer and easier. The deck is easy to move around on, thanks to the numerous handrails within easy reach and the mast foot balconies. The sail locker, separated by a watertight bulkhead at the bow, is ideal for storing a full range of sails. The saloon boasts a warm, bright interior.

The panoramic view is incredible, and you can enjoy the comfort of the saloon while controlling the boat from the Interior watch station. 

BONVIVENT is the 16th Exploration 45 

This is Pete Goss's former boat, which he configured in a comfort version with two cabins and two shower rooms, plus a service room. The aft bathroom has a beautiful Separate shower compartment and the Forward cabin has its own shower room with WC.

As for the sails, this is a performance rig pack with a fully battened mainsail and an Incidence solent. The mast features 31 retractable rungs for easy access to the masthead, a real plus for safety.

Features include: furling staysail, asymmetric spinnaker with code 0 spinnaker pole on furler, and downwind sails + Lazy-Bag and Lazy Jack fittings. A 154 m2 Blue Water Runner downwind sail also equips this beautiful Exploration 45.

For manoeuvring, 2 ST 55 electric winches replace the manual winches, making life easier.

The boat is equipped with an inflatable AB 9.0AL + HB 15hp Yamaha dinghy.

For optimum autonomy, we've included a 60L/h watermaker, a set of 2 x 350W Solar panels , a Silentwind wind turbine and a Watt and Sea hydrogenerator. The essential Starlink antenna is part of the boat's additional equipment.

For worry-free navigation, this boat is equipped with a B&G 2-screen 12' electronics package with AIS transponder and B&G radar.
