TheExploration 45 is the flagship of Garcia's Exploration range. The concept was to build a centreboarder with an aluminium hull dedicated to blue water cruising. The Garcia 45 is the result of Jimmy Cornell's sailing experience in partnership with Berret-Racoupeau. After accumulating hundreds of thousands of nautical miles, Jimmy Cornell wanted to create the perfect boat, capable of taking his crew to the ends of the earth in both ice and tropical programs. The result was a unique sailboat, theExploration 45. 

Equipped with two rudders, it behaves very well at sea and is easy to handle in all conditions. It will enable you to sail all the seas of the globe. Maneuvers are grouped together in the cockpit under the dog house, to make trimming and sail changes safer and easier. The deck is easy to move around on, thanks to the numerous handrails within easy reach and the mast foot balconies. The sail locker, separated by a watertight bulkhead at the bow, is ideal for storing a full range of sails. The saloon boasts a warm, bright interior.

The panoramic view is incredible, and you can enjoy the comfort of the saloon while controlling the boat from the Interior watch station.
