Designing boats to go far, for a long time, in all weathers: that's what Berret Racoupeau Yacht Design has been doing with talent for over thirty years.

With the assistance of Garcia Yachtswith forty-five years' experience in blue water cruising, they were able to optimize all the fundamentals of theExploration 52: seakeeping, comfort on all points of sail, in all weathers, long daily distances covered thanks to regular average speeds in all circumstances, high carrying capacity without impacting on performance.

By translating Jimmy Cornell's inspiration into drawings, shapes and plans, theExploration 52 design team - joined by accomplished sailor and racer Halvard Mabire for the cockpit ergonomics - succeeded in the challenge of offering a boat faithful to the original spirit, while bringing more to each area considered.

Maneuverable by two or with a small crew, it offers safe, comfortable shelter for the crew in all sea conditions. Its generous sails and controlled weight make the miles fly by like never before, in first-class comfort.

Below the saloon, on the starboard side, the engine room can be converted into a fourth cabin. The Owner’s cabin forward is tapered to increase sleeping length, and still has its own private bathroom. The two aft double cabins share a second bathroom. Finally, a third shower is accessible from the saloon on the way to the engine room.

The kitchen and saloon are large enough to accommodate 8 guests in total comfort. Soft Victoria upholstery and slatted bases, leather handrails, Corian worktops, lighting adapted to each function, all contribute to making you feel at ease.

Its carrying capacity, the size of its water tanks (total volume 880L) or fuel tanks (1200L), the various on-board energy sources: Solar panels 520W, Fisher Panda 8000i generator, D100 watermaker; all these criteria enable you to envisage the most remote sailing projects.
