Aluminium yachts are widely regarded as the safest choice for bluewater cruising because of their structural resilience and impact resistance. Unlike fiberglass aluminium is ductile. It absorbs shock energy and can deform without catastrophic failure. In offshore sailing where collisions with floating debris containers or ice are real possibilities this ability significantly reduces structural risk. For long distance sailors navigating remote oceans safety is not about avoiding risk. It is about managing it. An aluminium hull provides an additional margin of security especially when sailing far from assistance or repair facilities. In bluewater cruising confidence in your structure means confidence in your journey.

The Explocat 52 is available in two different cockpit configurations, designed to suit different sailing styles, while maintaining Garcia's fundamental safety and comfort features.

The Sky-Deck version, on the other hand, features a raised manoeuvring station, wider and open to the sea, offering an exceptional panoramic view , perfect for enjoying sailing in fine weather.

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.
