How do you find your garcia in terms of motion at sea?

Our GX 45 is handling waves of different sizes and shapes very well. In 17'000 NM with wind up to 50 kN we never had a wave in the cockpit. She is very safe. Before the GX 45, we used to charter, where you get production boats which are mostly ok for coastal sailing, but not suitable for offshore sailing in my opinion. I have not sailed in heavy conditions in another proper cruising sailboat, so I can not compare motion in real offshore-situations with other cruising sailboats.

@@our_tern Thanks for the info. I've never been on an offshore centerboarder like the GX45. Do you find her particularly rolly at all? thanks for entertaining my questions!
