As an engineer within the Nuclear construction industry, detail matters. In the maritime environment for a true blue water sailing yacht the same applies, the Exploration 45 has all bases covered and now sits at the top of my list of 45 foot dream yachts.
This boat will still be sailing 100 years from now.
exactly my thoughts after the first minute, like you can see functionality and durability have been first things in mind to the designers
Wow, what a beautiful go anywhere bluewater sailboat. This is the type of boat you keep for life. Very well done.
I bought a Loto ticket but it didn't win... =(
+JoeVSvolcano You and me both.
I got 3# out of 6 and raked in $5.
You and me both: Shame I was looking forward to the 270 degree view.
5 out of 6 - three times - still trying....
@@squarehead7246 you have gotten 5 out of 6 #'s 3 times? how much have you won and did you buy a boat like this yet
Beautiful boat and extremely well designed , it is the ultimate dream boat
Thanks for the very well guided video
A really comprehensive and well-presented video of a beautiful boat.
I'll chime in here as well. Like JCAR and Mojo522, I, too, am disabled and had long thought my dreams of a phosphor glowing wake matched by a river of stars above (which I remember last from the fantail of a guided missile cruiser, lol) to be beyond my reach; which is why I was hoping to see and hear a bit more about the rigging and sail set. You know, all-electric winches running aft to the cockpit, auto-tacking jib, assisted trim, and so on to the extent that one could almost run her single-handed.
I'm sure just about anything is possible with enough money. I'm going to have a look at your website and the builder's, too, if only to dream of the Northern Lights.
This looks exceptionally like a real cruise boat! Great partitioning of the interior. I like this the most from what I have seen so far available on the market.
I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately the Islander 36 freeport is more in my price range. It too has a great setup...but it's an oldie. But for my budget, it really has the ideal layout.
Beautiful vessel! Ideal for a live aboard.
Jimmy Cornell's boat is now available for the main stream
Why do so many walk Thur video’s skip engine rooms and specs
This morning, on my drive to work, I made an exhaustive list of everything I wanted in a boat and pondered that it would be unlikely to have everything in one boat available on the market. Here I am now on lunch break, and this boat pops up in my UA-cam feed. It has EVERYTHING on my list and then some!
You want to be in a cave while you sail and you're only going to go sailing in a hurricane? Either that or you're trying to save money on sun screen. Sailing is about feeling the wind, sun and maybe the occasional splash of water.
@@HyperSarcasticAvocado Hurricanes are warm and tropical, this boat you can sail around in the winter, yes been on/ around boats in hurricane
Living on sailboat .the dream of my life 💫💫💫⛵😌
Very beautiful and well designed boat. I would love to own one of these but I don't ever see it happening being an disabled veteran. I can wish though. I spent five years in the U.S. Navy and seven years in the U.S. Army but salt water runs in my veins. There's nothing like being rocked to sleep every night and watching the stars on the open ocean.
Don't let your disabilities hold you back from anything. You can overcome anything. I'm disabled myself and I have sailed from the U.S. to the south of France and back.
Mojo522 I would love to hear more about your disability and sailing. Ihave two heath issues, but I just took my first sailing lesson. Age 58
Hail Neptune, this boat seems built to weather the storm
Nice boat. I watch alot of boat videos and fanasize about some boats likd discovery 57 or gunboat 66. This is by far the best boat ive seen in its class. Well done beautifull boat.
Garcia, the boat for people who hate socializing in the sun.
Where is the close room for the safe. I need to put inside all my gold bars. I can't leave them to the bankers they are just thiefs.
this is a dreamboat for long distance cruising. Frank from Denmark.
I like the description given on another channel...
The Garcia 45 Exploration is the Land Rover of sailboats
with a BMW interior. A Rock solid go anywhere boat.
Where is engine access and what kind of storage below deck in the cabin?
good question.
Some other vids show the engine.
Engine Under the companionway
Nice boat, but it seems to me that visibility from the steering position is hindered. It should be very comfortable to steer by autopilot from inside on rough weather, when you can not use sails anyway because of the wind speed.
My dream boat. She will be mine...Oh yes...She WILL be mine. :)
no dude, she will be MINE! ))
Doesn't the boat have a swing keel? I missed it if he mentioned it.
Lifting centerboard
Why is topside made with GRP? I guess to reduce topside weight...
Correct.
What a beautiful and well-engineered boat. I particularly like the aluminium hull, since I am not a real fan of fiberglass composites.
Garcia Exploration is Land Cruiser / Land rover Defender of the Sea
These boats are fast in light air too.
Great boat, nothing there you don't need. Practical with understated styling...right up my street! Bravo
Smart, functional and beautiful!
Brilliant design.
Really liked this video and the editing is awesome.
How much does that baby cost?
$800,000.00-$1,000,000.00+ USD
Nice, great features. I would like a second plotter at the helm position. I hope for short hops that the anchor chain tube is very hard wearing. I would like the dinghy outboard in a locker not on view.
I have seen a config where outboard was in one of the cockpit lockers (under I think the starboard seat)
Nice boat. It could use more storage, curious about the motor - or does the outboard serve that purpose using the rear mount? Ceiling height? Where is the freezer, dry food storage, etc? That forward sail locker looks like it would make a pretty good drum. No insulation below the waterline? What about insulation in the cabin sole? If it is a cold water boat, then a heating stove would be nice to warm up at coming in from an outside watch. Where do you hang wet weather gear? What precautions have been taken regarding galvanic corrosion?
So many things that are not covered in this video.
The sole is 6cm insulation under the wood. The hull itself is not insulated.
Some buyers put a wood stove.
@@philv3941 That is what I do. I use a rocket stove set up outside, so that I use it to heat a mixture of water and antifreeze to around 400 degrees F. This goes into a closed loop system insulated holding tank - 30 gallons -so that I can use the hot water/antifreeze mixture for heat, hot water, cooking, etc, until it gets below 200 degrees. (can't boil water or use a stove much below 212F-100C where water boils)Then I heat it again. It is a very efficient system. Everything that requires heat is plumbed into the closed loop heat storage. Under deck heat coils, individual radiators with fans in throughout the boat for the cabins, etc., hot water tank, custom made by me oven stove with copper coils under the glass burner area, or insulated oven box, etc.
I do the same thing on a different closed loop system for the cold stuff chilling the anti-freeze mixture to around 100 below freezing.
On the hot side during the summer I need to reheat the antifreeze mixture about every 2 weeks and every week in the winter. during the winter the cold side needs to be re-chilled every 2 weeks or so, and every week , maybe 2 times per week during the summer depending on how much I am using it to air condition the boat.
The entire system is designed and built by me. I didn't actually invent anything I just use existing systems cobbled together in the most efficient way.
I have been using the same system for my off grid house for years, only there I can use a pair of 2000 gallon holding tanks, so they need to be recharged less often.
@@barking.dog.productions1777 interesting but probably long and complex to build and maintain, no ?
@@philv3941 Hull is insulated with 75mm closed cell foam - he mentions it.
@@philv3941 Thought he said it had 70mm closed cell foam insulation in hull
Beautiful boat but the high roof line significantly blocks the view from the helm.
Great boat!
Would be a fantastic safe cruiser!
Seems to have compromised forward view from the helm outside.
beautiful dreamboat but out of reach for a prisonguard😯
Help me bust out and we can use the money I stashed to buy a boat like this
Crime pays....ask the Clintons and Obama's.....from middle class to now worth over 100 million each...without ever breaking a sweat or owning a company...
@@tedcarruthers2677
Totally agree... you'll be appalled how many millions if not trillions you'll find when you're done checking out the the deep pockets of the bigger fishes, friends and associates of Donald... you will think the Clinton's and the Obama's are beggars I tell you...
You can follow on youtube 5 friends, they have managed to buy together the competitor of this boat ( Boreal) and they sail together accross the world in very high lattitude
( the channel is " sir Ernst " ) .
It's five time less expensive :)
Beautiful boat...absolutely gorgeous
I agree. Great boat!
This. This is my dream boat. The only thing I would add is a bowsprit for top down furler.
I think it is inter grated into the Anker roller
Perhaps in the bow cannon configuration....
4:36 composite coach roof! What about Faraday Cage?
truly ugly boat but i love it still...
Land Rover on water. Same aesthetics :)
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts.

It’s not a boat for poodle shaggers…..tough boat.
@@brettharrison2237 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Denstoradiskmaskinen
You wouldn't open these out at sea anyway. Out in harsh weather you have to rely on the forced ventilation equipment (White pipe-things coming out of the deck).
muratisteinkeks ok ty
Lousy sharp angles to bump yer head on on the way below deck. Nice boat ,though. Perfect size to single handle. Lotsa light and excellent viewing in the salon. Bring plenty glass cleaner. Only one extra bunk on the smallish side.
I want to know how fast these boats are .. they look like they have planing hulls therefor much faster than conventional cruisers.
I don't think this particular yatch has good performance to mention, as for the whole robust and very equiped aspect of the thing, seems not light. Also seems to have not a specially powerful rigging and sail plan, but a more normal, crusing oriented one. I think high performance is not one of the key aspects of this go-anywhere cruiser. Durability and safety seems more in the menu than raw speed.I'm not saying it is slow, but probably average, not on the fast side.
Agree, this being a centerboard design cannot have too large a sail area to stay on the safe side of heeling.
@@koborkutya7338 The heeling issue has been addressed by hull ballasting.
Damn, gotta give me a glance of the engine room.
It has a Volvo Penta D2-75 diesel engine located under the foot of the stairs with access panels on all sides.
love the 270 degree view idea. big enough to view, yet, not stupidly large you have on cats.
Nice boat.
A combination of the Garcia and Moody would be my perfect boat
I love this boat, its very well thought out, the only think I didn't hear was if it had AC or if its an option...for tropical humid area's I would think a small unit might be a must, but other then that, its perfect
I think he mentioned Mechanical force air and pointed to an air duct... while in Owner's cabin..
believe it can have AC
Any storage for a 9ft long board and SUP? Essential items for my travels.
Nice one Eddy, we will be out midle of April at Blue Sea Fiscas Hotel. W e certainly will take in the Islands charms.
I found my boat......now I just need to win the Lottery.
Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing boat , but I just have a feeling the boat in rough weather is not going to be comfortable place to be its look light and unbalanced! Otherwise it's great boat !
I dont like the place where the liferaft is stored, in a emergency the last thing you would want to do is to step out on that little bath platform back on boat in High waves and Fiddel with the door to the liferaft very easy to fall into Water bad place to store liferaft very bad otherwise nice boat
jack line/ lifeline should be a deterrent to concerns? I am not a professional sailor yet in my opinion the position makes sense being close to the water for a quick yet "puckering" deployment of raft
The life raft is in a good lockable location....These have become yet another stealable wakeup in the morning missing item....You can install an offshore location for it during active open water use...That locker is good....P
It was placed there specifically so that a weak/injured person can easily launch it. That requires it be somewhere where one does not have to haul and lift over the lifelines etc.
@@koborkutya7338as a land lover that is something that I would have never thought about thanks for the education
@@cjyoung7372 Garcia worked on the concept of the Exploration series with Jimmy Cornell and I have read his books that he had to work a lot to find a location where "the weakest person in the crew" is able to deploy the raft even in distress, that's how they ended up placing it there.
And, to be fair, there are disadvantages too - there are wind- and sea conditions when the stern is not the safest place to be, or if the boat is going down you may not have access to the place at all.
Like everything else in design and construction, every choice have pros and cons, you have to make choices, it is not the end-all total wisdom, this was his choice.
I'm used to 5 minute reviews and I usually skip sections... this one is 17 minutes watched the whole thing.. Couldn't skip.. Great review...
If one wants to mount a wind pilot on that transom that will impede the way out of the life raft and of people. Is there any solution?
Due to the b&g autopilot unit on board there is no need for a wind pilot
Out of curiosity, as the gangway doors are water tight, how do you escape from the boat if it turns upside down.
It's not a cat, it can't stay upside down by design, but it can roll upside down, better have a water tight door.
If this happen though, you can break a roof hatch.
I loved it.
I am concerned that if you took a wave over your deck, the water will hit your front forward leaning windows with an incredible amount of force and possibly blow your windows in. With traditional rearward leaning glass the water will easily be directed up and over.
I see it opposite, breaking waves come downwards, in an angle (they actually fall on the deck) and would hit a backward tilted window just perpendicular, exerting maximum force. Down tilted windows will deflect the flow more.
That said, my confidence in the windows comes from the small vertical size, that makes them relatively strong.
I would however definitely ask them it there is an option to make them out of 2 x 30mm safety glass :) :) :)
Lots of coastguard, fishing, navy and commercial ships have backwards facing windows...
Iam 6.3 ft. Looks like I will have some problems!. Boat is perfect just perfect to go around. Thanks for the tour.
Apparently Garcia will alter the height to suit the person ordering it.
@@tomriley5790 thanks for the info.
This mono should say "thanks cat".
Open the doors
How much?
what is her weight?
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just like my Cat 22. ;)
is there a price?
Beautiful, strong boat................. How much?
Zee Ro They come I at just under £1 million.
Built like a tank
Send me some lotto luck pals
Thats one ugly boat
It's not to show-off on Marinas, it's for high lattitudes.
I love what all this design recalls. It's a land rover or BMW gs bike. It has the beauty of what is it thought for.
Beautiful boat. Seems you thought of just about everything. What is the general price of this boat? How long from order to completion?
Figure about 800,000 to 1 million
At least one year for the completion
If it's too much, the same team build Allure and Ovni, very tough alloy boats, a bit less optimized but very caoable and reliable, half less expensive
doesn't aluminum react with salt water?
no
No, the only risc is electro-galvanic corrosion, wich is really well managed in these boats since 40 years.
Being french, fond these kind of boat ( Garcia, Ovni, Allure, Boreal) i never ever heard about one sank by corrosion.
Probably all the Ovnis sold from the beggining are still traveling today
there are a few alloys (7075 I think) which are stable in seawater after forming an oxide layer. If someone's done a bad job with the electrics you could get galvanic corrosion. You also have to consider galvanic corrosion if you have stainless steel fittings.
Is this english?!?
i me mine would you have understood better if he had spoken in French?
How is your french ?
For the most part
such a ship whit only a honda 5 outboard engine????? WTF...
bisyhefr its for the dingy
a dingy??? keep up??? i think i have to work untill my death and than i still dont have the money for this ship .... but it is a bit weird you get such small engine whit it....
bisyhefr It has a Volvo Penta between the two aft cabins, just like virtually every other yacht of this size. The dinghy motor fits on the back in the case of an emergency. Motor broke on a passage? You can still pop the dinghy motor on the back to safely (and very slowly) motor into the marina. It is a backup solution, not the main motor...
Does Garcia build catamarans?
Yes, "explocat" in alloy too
Thanks! Philippe Venet what sizes?
@@michaelsamuel4159 sorry wasnt notified.
It's huge, 52.
I can only dream about
Diiii. Diiiii. Diiii. Is it really so difficult to say correctly "THE". Not Diiii. The. The. The. Not Diiiii.
It's not "easy to access" AT ALL in a situation where the boat might be in jeopardy (like, turned over by waves), that lifeboat. How much more impractical (and dangerous and useless) can these things get and for how much more money... Been on here, looking at some ships and whatnot. Blah
Most boats self-right when turned over. Unless the thru-halls go bad, ice berg with teeth or something equally bad and the boat starts sinking you will never need the life raft. Unless the gas bottles explode, in which case you may loose the back end with the raft in it. Maybe better to just fit out a lift raft and sail the world on that. ;)
Im guessing you havent done a lot of blue water cruising kgb , try getting one off the main cabin trunk in a blow with heavy seas .. monohulls are all self righting (especially in heavy seas) so there would be no reason to access the life raft if the boat was upside down. Never get in a life raft untill the boat is definitely sinking and only then at the last reasonable moment. I think the life raft placement is very well thought out.
How many people will bash their heads on the sharp corners of the roof shelter at the front of the cockpit!
WaterWorldPlanet I agree it is an ugly boat. Poor design, beginning with the sharp corners of the roof shelter at the front of the cockpit...a major and obvious design flaw.
bigmuscles250lbs it kinda looks like a mix of a coast guard cruiser and a tin can XD
bigmuscles250lbs
It's specifically designed for sailing in high latitudes, to weather any storm, and go anywhere in the world. The "ugly" aluminum hull wont shatter when you touch an ice berg, and the roof shelter in the cockpit will keep you A: dry while you're on watch and B: on board when a waves crashed over the bow. That's why there is a second plotter and autopilot controls there.
It's sort of an ugly boat vs most fiberglass boats out there, but on the other hand, it is beautiful in it's ruggedness and you can trust your life to it.
Look up Jimmy Cornell, he is the ocean explorer/sailor who designed many of the features to make it exactly what he thought a high latitude ship should be.
You only bash your head once, then you remember where it is...if your are smart enough from the get go.
The mass of an iceberg would destroy that hull on impact alone. Aluminum hulls are better in ice cold climates and water because fiberglass becomes brittle.
