In addition to providing access to shallow waters for greater freedom and safety, the centerboarder offers particularly comfortable seakeeping, notably by raising the daggerboard when sailing downwind.

Garcia Exploration yachts are the result of a collaboration between Jimmy Cornell, the Berret-Racoupeau naval architecture firm, and the Garcia Yachts design office. Garcia Yachts. Our aim: to create the ideal yacht for blue water cruising at all latitudes. The result: a unique concept, a high-performance hull, remarkable course stability, a Shallow draft thanks to the lifting daggerboard, a deck layout organized for a reduced crew, and safe behavior in rough seas.

As with all modern hulls, the choice of Twin rudders, taken from the world of racing, is an obvious one. At Garcia Yachtsit's a real choice in favor of course-keeping, maneuverability and safety. Course keeping is superior: when heeling, the boat remains precise, balanced and responsive. Downwind maneuverability is optimized: the Twin rudders offer precise steering, even in surfs or sustained conditions. In the event of damage, safety is enhanced by the redundancy the second rudder, which is always operational. This technical and strategic choice is fully in line with our approach: controlling risks "by design" and extending your comfort zone, whatever the conditions.
