First sailing impressions on board the Garcia Explocat 52, the ultimate aluminium exploration catamaran, by the famous British ocean racer and adventurer Pete Goss.
Really beautiful cat. And really impressed that they went with aluminum for the build. Makes so much sense. Now, just put the helm at the front of the salon like a Gunboat, and it would be perfect. Thanks for sharing!
This could be the right boat for me. Stable and comfortable on long passages. Good in shallow waters. Carries lots of water toys. Excellent storage space for supplies. My best choice so far.
I am an aerospace engineer primarily designing and analyzing composite structure, but I think the magic of aluminum/aluminium is underestimated. Robust, easily repaired, stiff and light. I am interested to follow the developments from Garcia.
Interesting and beautiful yacht! I wonder how she points without daggerboards. I might be conservative, but you should be able to sail alway from a leeshore if the engines fail. Anyway stunning boat...

One day I will be, proud Garcia catamaran owner.... Thanks...
My dream boat! Maybe some day... :-) Once again Pete provides great insights as to why this boat is really special. Congratulations on the launch!
I've been looking forward to seeing this yacht in action. Awesome guys!

this is an incredible piece of engineering and beautiful to boot. Garcia has outdone itself
Absolutely love this boat
I would love to see a proper walk-through incl technical details.

Dream boat. 😍Need to go buy some lottery tickets now... 🍀
Didn't notice an entertainment system in the salon (t.v., speakers, etc...]; isn't' that important for live aboards?
Good Effort, Royal ;)
Any VPP polar charts available from Garcia? Seems to be a good compromise ref . speed and comfort
I wonder if Garcia will make an Explotri(maran) 52 in the future?
Why saildrives on a yacht like this ?
Super exciting
