GO ANYWHERE,
SAFELY
the safety of an ALUMINIUM hull
This 60-foot sailboat's generously dimensioned aluminium hull, with thicknesses ranging from 5 to 12 mm, ensures unfailing impact resistance in the event of a nasty encounter. For even greater peace of mind, this meters yacht features a watertight bulkhead at the bow and stern, upstream of the steering system.
protected appendages
The propeller shaft is encased in a fin. The rudders, made of aluminium and preceded by a protective skeg, also feature a composite sacrificial zone at the top. In the event of impact, should the wick bend, the hull is preserved and the rudder remains functional.
Interior watch station
On board the Exploration 60, the design of the interior space contributes directly to safety at sea. The chart table acts as a sheltered watch Interior helm station, with immediate access to navigation instruments and engine controls, and is ideally positioned forward of the saloon for a view of the road ahead. Whatever the external conditions, the helmsman can keep his watch in the warmth and dryness of the boat's center. He remains connected to life on board, while enjoying a 270° panoramic view of the outside environment.
outdoor monitoring post
The Exploration 60 's helm station is protected by a cap at the descent end, extending into a Hard bimini. Perfectly protected from the seated position, with a view forward and close to the maneuvers, it's the ideal watch station to complement the Interior helm station. This area can also be enclosed with a canvas cover, for added protection in bad weather. Extending from the helm station, the cockpit provides a second, protected outdoor living area.

Whether seated or standing, the large glass surfaces and hull portholes give young and old alike a view of the outside world, the sea, the sails and the landscape. This unique feeling of being outside while being inside is incomparable when you live on a long-distance boat.

The boat can be heated by radiators fed by a central diesel-fired boiler. Heat is distributed evenly and silently. This equipment also provides soundproofing, both at sea and at anchor in high winds. Aboard the Exploration 60, comfort is total and serene.

A MODERN, PERFORMANCE HULL
Garcia Exploration yachts are designed by world-renowned architect Olivier Racoupeau. The hull of this meters sailboat offers a clever compromise between performance and comfort. Anchor chain, water and fuel tanks, all weights are centered to optimize seaworthiness and sailing comfort. Easy to trim, Exploration 60 ocean-going sailboats boast daily averages in excess of 200 miles, shortening distances.
EASY TO MANEUVER SHORT-HANDED
Ergonomic deck layout, generously dimensioned and first-rate fittings, well-staggered sail plan, maneuvers returning to the cockpit, maneuvering area separate from outdoor living and watch area, Exploration have been designed to be maneuverable with a reduced crew. Maneuvers requiring effort are performed using hydraulic systems.
STABILITY WHEN SAILING DOWNWIND WITH THE CENTERBOARD RAISED
On this 60-foot sailboat, downwind, centerboard up the drag is reduced and the centerboard moved back, making the boat particularly smooth. Behavior is smoother. In breakers, thanks to the two rudders and the raised centerboard, the boat glides through the wave, without any crunching effect, so overspeed wave descents are controlled, even under autopilot.
