- GARCIA 52 Exploration Is an epic mini-exploration sailboat. Could you handle this go anywhere blue water sailboat? we spent some time getting to know this amazing boat and the best thing is we get to do it again next summer where the owner of this Garcia 52 is going to give us an exclusive on what it's like to own one, sail one and live with one of the best sailboats in the world.

I absolutely love the Garcia Exploration series. A 45 would be enough. A 52 would be amazing. A 60 would be a dream. Great tour.
I'll go half on a 52 with you.🤩
@@SVTONICBoatWives Just waiting for my lottery win - should be any day now 😆
@@Ian-gf8idwho can bought that boat withant « loterie ». A political ? Or mafioso (if it’snt the same guy!)
Superb Garcia Exploration 52. Some noticeable differences from previous Exploration 52's. A truly great blue water sailing boat for all climate and oceans. Great job from French shipyard Garcia.
Thank you for watching and I am glad you liked the video, if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.😁🤩
Fantastic ! I'll be watching. Thank you.@@SVTONICBoatWives
Absolutely gorgeous boat. And you showed it well, thanks.
She is isn't she, Garcia knows how to make exceptional sailboats and I feel very privileged to get to play from time to time. Thank you for watching and I am glad you liked the video, if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
Another beautiful Garcia and a great tour! I love seeing the boats being shown inside and out while under use. Still looking forward to the Explocat someday!?
The Explocat will be coming next year, hopefully, in late spring 2024, it depends on the owner and boat yard but fingers crossed. I am glad you liked the video, if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
Unbelievable,how perfect the vessel is
Thanks. Love this boat yard.
So do we😁😆, Glad you liked the video and if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
I love this , благодарю.

Beautiful
Sturdy rig : )
A bit of constructive criticism if allowed? I think your camera position is too close to the objects you are showing or describing. I don't know if you can "zoom" back somehow? A wet locker door should not completely fill the screen. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your efforts! Thank you!
Amazing tour of the awesome Garcia, enjoying your fabulous content ...
Brilliant, thank you, Thank you for watching and I am glad you liked the video, if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
You make such superb content on these beautiful bluewater yachts it would be nice , for you to give your preference and why. It would be a hard choice as they are all amazing. I know you are a Oyster lover. @@SVTONICBoatWives
@@Aacadian-xe8kq OK I will do a video maybe over Christmas on what sailboat and why, what do you think?
Thank you for Another Great in-depth tour. can the windless be used manually? It looks like it may be difficult because of the hatch. I am looking forward to your tour of the ExploCat.
that dehumidifier feature, along with very good headroom has impressed me, as insulation next to the hull of metal boats can be a real prinlem due to condensation getting between the insulation and the Hull, which can do some pretty serious damage taking place with it being out of sight. I think I'd want the internal hull barrier coated with a condensation drainage system working away there on the internal face of the insulation as a first line of defence and backed up with that nice Dehumidification system ? Humidity and Condensation can be as big a problem in the Tropics as in the colder regions, and there is probably a way of using that Condensation with airflow as evaporative cooling, which if done right, can be surprisingly powerful. I had a very powerful Breathable Waterproof two piece Oversuit over my motorbike Gear (actually a Golfing Oversuit ) when touring, that never let a drop in, and in torrential Downpours on the Continent in Summer, I'd get so cold, Id have to stop in rest areas to have hot drinks to helpwarm up very frequently. That was all down to the limited movement of air over the Suit, as I had a bice touring Givi Screen on the front, Silver with a Silver front wheel mudguard, so in a driver's rear view mirror, it looked like there was a bloody big Silver Dagger coming up behind. that subliminal messaging worked an absolute treat too.😂. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
I prefer the sixty!. watched your tour of the Garcia 60 " Awesome.
The 60 is a big beast of a boat, and handles like a dream.
For a moment I thought you entered a submarine at 41:14. Your reviews are unsurpassed 😊 I finally subbed now!
It may be the somewhat nonsensical channel name keeping some peeps from subbing? Your like/ dislike ratio however is always over 100, so lots to feel proud over anyway, and well deserved 🍺😎
That is one of the things I love about Allures and Garcia is all the hidden places that make sense on their boats, Technical rooms, storage spots and all sorts. A BIG thank you for subscribing and I am glad you liked the video, if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.😍😘
You made my day yet again. Thank you!!! Love this boat! Was launched 7 years ago I think and doesn't get old, which says a lot. At that size it would be really hard though to choose between the rugged Exploration 52 and the more roomy but without pilot house or workshop Allure 51.9. A reviewer wrote, Allure for sailing, Exploration for high latitude exploration and liveaboard. Not sure why for liveaboard. Any opinions?
Ah, now that's a hard one Allures 51.9 or Garcia 52 exploration. same shipyard very similar hull you might say the same hulls. One is a raised salon with water-tight doors etc the other is an open-plan light interior. Ok before I go on I think what we have to do is a V's video??? I think a lot will come down to the type of sailing you want to do and where in the world you see yourself exploring then we plan the pros and cons of each sailboat??🙃😉😁
That would be amazing!
Judging by the amount of heaters throughout, it seems plans are for majority colder climate sailing and as such, curious as to the cork decking with freezing temps and icing.
Boat is indeed made for those who also want to pursue high latitude exploration. Jimmy Cornel did a northwest passage on the Garcia 45, Aventura. I believe that Arctic Monkey, another Garcia 45, also did the passage. However, you wouldn't do it in the winter. It's not meant to go crab fishing in the Bering sea in January.
I have had a few chats with the owner (very nice guy and good sailer) about his plans and future adventures with his Garcia 52 and yes there will be some high-latitude sailing let's just say I am waiting to see the polar bear and iceberg photos. I like the cork deck and it works well when wet, better than most non-slip decks but I am with you on I would like to see what it is like frozen or covered in snow., if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.🤩😘
@@constantinealexandrakis Have you read Jimmy Cornel's book? I am expecting Father Christmas to deliver one for me this year.
I have read bits and pieces; it inspired me to look past day cruising and dream (as Pete Goss invites us to do). If I knew where to send it, I would put my red suit on. :) Btw, I am hoping to go on Sabbatical in a couple of years and spend a bit more time at sea. Maybe you would be willing to consider taking me on a Garcia? I am on my 56th consecutive day of learning French on Duolingo because of the Grand Large bunch. LOL My favorite part of these videos is watching you at sea. After a stressful day, there is no better cure than imagining I am there with you guys.
@@constantinealexandrakis Brilliant, you never know what the future holds and if you are up for some sailing in the future that might be a possibility.
Interesting the covers were on the electronics while underway. Why?
because we don't always use them, good charts and knowing the weather and tides are all you need for a fun day out on the water.
Nice ship! Conimex and drop, so I guess Dutch! Ik wil wel een keer meevaren!
Something I would add to a galley, which American boats frequently have , is an electric waste disposal unit in one of the Sinks, and a Trash compactor, especially on a boat that's likeley to spend a fair bit of time Offshore ? 🤔 Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
Dream ⛵ boat. Just need to win the lottery in order to get one. 😁
Makes two of us, if I win you can come for a sail or two;
I've just bought myself a ticket for the 240 Million Euro Jackpot tonight. With a little luck, I can order a 52 tomorrow morning. 😁 ⛵
@@SVTONICBoatWives @GarciaYachts_official
Beautiful boat. Really need to switch to Garmin nav and electronics.
no.
What would be the better sailor, Exploration 52 or Boreal 55 OC? Leo
It would be fun to test them side by side for a month or two wouldn’t it, but I would say when looking at yachts of their caliber it will always come down to your personal choice.
Great. Thanks. How did it perform in the 2-3m swell and 30 knot winds compared to its sister Allure 51.9?
She sailed really well, not bouncy but stable as she ploughed her way through the sea. I lost a lot of footage but will be out on her again next summer so we hope to redo a lot of the sailing (manoeuvring and technical stuff) again. I can say we had wind against tide and around 2/2.5kn of tide as we were on springs which for most boats a very uncomfortable setting but the Garcia 52 just sat in the water and kept us moving forward at a good pace. I think the boats are similar as regards to how they handle and cope with different conditions but I want an Allures and I prefer for my taste and needs for sailing the cockpit setup of the Allures but the safety of the Garcia. It's a hard choice.

Throw the Boreal in for comparison. From pictures and videos I really like the doghouse/navtable/wet locker setup of the Boreal.
@@ende421 I will email Boreal and see what we can do. but yes the dog house is one of the USBs of Boreal that makes them what they are.
Wow what a wonderful boat . Everything here is planned and thought out . I wonder what is the price of this beauty . ?? 2 million????
It is a fantastic boat you are right and for the price, I would not like to say because it all depends on the options you choose but yes around the 2 mill mark and some. , if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
Great Video! Can you do a comparison between this and the Garcia 45?
Yes sometime, if you want.
Great video again, well done you!! Love this yacht and the 45. Couple of questions please. You have been out on both, both very safe and very capable. If money was not the issue, would you get the 52? or stick with the 45? for reasons of 1 out in big seas? 2 trying to get into a busy marina? 3 high winds and tides when at anchor? and 4 any other reasons? Also at the end of the video there is an open door next to the very tall radiator at the end off the saloon sofa, is this the door to the under floor cabin? Is that shown in any of your videos? Many thanks for such a great and informative channel. Keep up the good work. Cheers Rich
Ahh, just watched it again and totally mis understood at around 40 mins the cabin with euro box draws and washer dryer. This is the area that can also be a single? or double berth? I should have known you'd be too sharp to miss a whole area out. Sincere apologies
Hi, gotta say it would make viewing a lot easier if you could do a walk through first, then go back for the details. I found it difficult to get a good feel for the boat filmed this way. Cheers
Noted for next time.
Boat looks great your very informative...but you need to find warmer weather to sail in...jeeze
Glad you liked it and yes it would be nice to sail a boat in the sunshine from time to time. , if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
👏👏👏
Honest question. I have no experience of in-mast furling, or in-boom furling for that matter, but would you really, on a Garcia 52? It just seems like a boat- a tier of boats- that a person buys because they're planning to do some of the things it's actually capable of. I can't imagine a malfunction, not being able to reef in highish latitudes... I'd think it would be a negative for resale in what I imagine the used Garcia market to be.
As always, a nice video.
It would be nicer if the technical information were shown elsewhere. The overlays disturb the images. Maybe significantly smaller, that would be ok too.
I totally understand, some subscribers were saying before it was too small or they could not see the text etc, what I might do is put it towards the end of the video?
@@SVTONICBoatWives I think it's very good to show it at the end. Yachting world does it that way too. In any case, thank you very much for the very good video - nice and long - and for your interest.
Great Tour, and as a fan of Jefa Steering, it hit me that only Sirius Yachts for some reason are the only ones using their excellent three position easily moved single wheel Steering System, which to me, makes a lot of sense, as otherwise I'm not exactly a huge fan of fixed Wheels in a Cockpit . If it's a small Aft Cockpit the wheel an be a total obstructive pain in the backside. tbh, only the fact that Sirius only make Deck Saloon Sailboats, ruled one out for me for the Tropics, as added to limited internal Air Volume hampering Hot Air management andRemoval slapping a glazed greenhouse on a Monohull only exacerbates the Problem. Otherwise the Sirius Brand do build extremely high quality boats, and the twin Keel version would be perfoct for around Britain, Baltic, NE and NW Coasts ofCanada and the USA , and overall, a realy lovely Boat Builder. tbh, I'm wondering if I can get that three position Wheel Jefa System as a Custom option on a new build now, Talk about Liberating an Aft Cockpit. 🤔 Best Wishes. Bob 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
I had a nice dream😂
Im a happy smalboat sailor 👨✈️😎
I love small boats too especially for fun on the water, do you have a preferred small boat?
@@SVTONICBoatWives hi man. My boat is an Etap30 i an 2004 mod. I lived onboard for 13 years and loved it ❤️🍺
@@ingeebeltoft It's a nice boat, good size for single-handed sailing and living if a little cramped. They have a good reputation and I will admit I have never sailed one but I am a little curious. to how they handle?
What,no dishwasher? 😞😞
You can have one if you want, your wish is my command. ;)
Bu benim favorim ama bir kaç iç mimari gelişime ihtiyacı var .

Ben tercihim denizde yanliz seyahat etmek o yüzden tek kişinin kullanabileceği . Dalgalardan daha fazla dayak yiyen 40 feet ve 35 feet aralığı . Tanıtımın güzel cevap için teşekkür ettim . Henüz değil . 2026 yılında bir tekne sahibi olacağım . Umarım deniz de ilk tanıtımına sizi davet edebilirim. Rüzgarın bol teknen stabil yıldızlar rehberin güç vede irade senin olsun .
😃👍👏👏👏
The way Orcas are sinking Fibreglass sailing vessels lately!?!. serious ocean cruisers must be considering Aluminium hulls.
We are, aluminum all the way.
Nice ship, but very small sails.
How so?
@@SVTONICBoatWives the sail load number is only about 4,05, 119 m² and 19 tons weight. Look at HR, X-Yachts, Hanse, they have all more. It's because of the ballast directly under the boat, so boats like this don't have so much stability as a yacht with a deep keel.
@@easyman8609 Yes and no, it's all about design and engineering nowadays, the problem we have is comparing it with an X-yacht or a Hanse etc is hull shape, weight and designed use of the yacht are very different. Yes, you can add a keel to make a larger rig for your yacht but for what purpose? If you want to go fast buy a performance yacht, if you want to have the ability to explore places most yachts can't go then buy a Garcia. Allures have a more sporty 45s with a lifting keel and carbon rig and it is faster than the standard 45 but as soon as you lift the keel you are changing the stability of the yach?
@@SVTONICBoatWives There is no need for a performance yacht, you can take a HR, or a Nordship or a Contest. Also Boreal has more sails.
@@easyman8609 Just going by your example, X-yachts, Hanse etc but I believe a sail area of 177m2 is fair for a 50ft yacht don't you as standard?. If you think it has a small m2 that's fine we can go back and forth all night if you wish, But my first question stands what is the purpose of the yacht and what do you expect from it? Then and only then can you start to compare with relevant data starting with design, engineering and rig?
Manual toilet pump? O_o
The best, way electric is noisy, uses a lot of fresh water and is a pain to unblock. I would always have 1 manual toilet if it was a twin-head boat. , if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
it's not an Amel, it's high latitude blue water sailboat
@@philv3941 You are right but you can have a manual Toilet in an Amel if you want; just for fun
I should rob a bank
I wouldn't bother they never have any money in them anymore, but I like your enthusiasm for the boat though. Now the diamond reserve might just get you what you need.🤩😁🤣
Dream boat for sure, saving my nickels. The camera closeups are hard to watch. I want to see more of the boat but not in this format. Please, better angles or something.
Glad you like the boat, as I say to everyone if you want better angles I need better camera gear so please fill free to hit the super thanks button and make a donation, and I will do my best to do a better job.
skiper no good
no good skipper
Do NOT do videos when the sun is in your face and everything else is dark. Not sure if it is your camera or what is going on but there is no point to recording these videos unless you can do the lighting and sound properly. Just refuse those ones.
I feel everytime your on camera you dont really know what your talking about or your just shy on the camera??
What a poor unprepared tour…if you can see it…etc etc etc…don’t know how to…thing like that…
such a shame you think so it was a last-minute call an 8-hour drive and a lot of equipment failure on my part but we still did it and will be going out next year to redo the video to get it right.
I am glad you watched it though, maybe you can give us your inside on the boat? What do you think of the Garcia 52?
