EXPLORATION 52 by Garcia Yachting: Guided Tour Video (in English)

[@j.muckafignotti4226]

NICE!

[@peterlamere1982]

This boat with it's shoal draft centerboard keel is best for mooring in Duxbury on my mooring.

[@capitan280]

NICe to Sail It on blue waters

[@michaelgothenburg364]

Very normal French accent, quite clear to be French actually

[@rlpatton1970]

The only thing I would like in this is solid hand rails around vs lines

[@ditto1958]

Holy cow that is quite a boat!

[@francesoregan394]

Cockpit should be more forward under deckhead,like Amal boats.

[@derkhawkins2575]

His English is on par with most Americans. The presentation was easy to comprehend, and I enjoyed it. Well done. I forgot to add, this is the sailboat of my dreams.

[@paulkerr782]

Beautiful - just got to win the Lottery first before I buy it.

[@ackheemmckenzie1152]

For some reason i like how he explain the boat or is it me?

[@axelscrivener9711]

What a fantastic yacht!!

[@TattoosAndGin]

My dream boat. Great presentation.

[@alexeykozakevich5643]

This is not a sailboat, its a tank.

[@brettharrison2237]

Can you see the chart plotter from the helm position? Long way away.

[@marylandflyer5670]

A lot sailboats are “blue water” but these boats are designed by explorers and will safely go anywhere on the globe. Dream boat.

[@originalmindset5278]

Is this boat available as an electric hybrid?

[@teekanne15]

Oil Heating seems a little odd😃

[@paulpence8895]

Odd choice of words, its not electric, it uses diesel fuel...

[@ryanthomas985]

Great video

[@CLH126]

Charming chap! Thank you for the run through. :)

[@dukedoker8899]

rumor has it that fore and aft cabin berths are not ideal for sleeping in rougher sea's .Not sure but the Sirius sailboats might offer better value.i suppose the aluminum might offer some structural advantages but at what cost?

[@didiermatroit2820]

Magnifique 👍⛵🤩

[@kevinlytle6215]

Absolutely love this line of sail boats. I also want to throw in here that his voice and manner is fine with a English only yank and engineer who can tell you he is not a sales person but someone from the management or design side. Knows the boat, the important features for a short video and completely clear to me!

[@stevenwalker232]

Great video and great boat!

[@dahak972]

Alright, you’ve sold me. As soon as I win the lottery I’ll call. ✌️😎

[@ukandrew]

A vessel of substance. Everything simply makes sense. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@dougefresh133]

This has to be the most beautifully and thoughtfully designed boat in it's class. Excellent job, Garcia Yachts.

[@paulcoverdale8312]

Dose she have a fully retractable keel an, when will we see a 60 or65 pls guys??❤❤❤🙏🙏⛵️⛵️⛵️💎💎🪬🪬🥃🥃👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@astrocj4219]

people making fun of the way he speaks, you know English is his second language right?... so why not congratulate him and make a nice comment about the boat...

[@Azazelwalk]

Nah. English is my second language too. There's no reason for this. They were trying for a "euro accent" type review or something when choosing this guy. Sorry... Didn't work. I'd be real nice to him if I met him and all(have a drink with him have a merry time etc), but he doesn't have the chops for oral reviewing. It's not a question of it being a second language really. He'd probably fumble around with his words in French too. Oratory or public speaking skills is the issue. Listen to a candid speech from Canada's current prime minister and you'll see what I mean. He's perfectly bilingual (French/English) and still sounds like a Neanderthal when addressing a crowd. It's an affliction. 👍

[@ocsailing3996]

You definitely never heard a French (from France) speak in english. @matthew

[@Azazelwalk]

+OCsailing I've heard them. Known them. Etc... There's like maybe 20k of them here in Quebec. still... Doesn't matter. My point is: it's not the language. C'est le débit. L'art oratoire. Doesn't matter what language you choose to speak in. Choose your words, slow down, and execute. You misunderstand me.

[@Ferelmakina]

+Matthew Shank Don't be so judgemental, pal. It works both ways...

[@Azazelwalk]

+Fernando Romera you just dont get it. C'est homme est à leurs emploi. Et il a probablement stipuler qu'il voulait faire la démonstration lui-même. Mais, ce n'a aucune affaire avec la LANGUE! Son problème eat sont débit. Son ÉLOCUTION. Get it through your thick sculls! I'm not insulting the poor guy... Just pointing out he needs oratory training. It's not a language barrier thing! It's an oratory thing! If he was a Saxon? He'd fumble. If he was an Anglo? He'd fumble. If he was an Arab? He'd fumble. My point is about presentation. It's a million dollar boat man! Jeez! Get a professional to review it. That is all.

[@nobody46820]

You folks at Garcia really put a lot of thought into your yachts and it shows! Kudos to you all!

[@arycosta7293]

Just Beautiful.

[@jontus9925]

What a great boat !!!

[@PondusdeCopenhague]

What about ligthning, how is the exploration boat and the passengers protected?

[@juichi8361]

I just won the lottery, what should I get Garcia 52 or Allures 52?

[@mikelurban892]

Any plans against heeling by attaching foils?

[@markmagennis8798]

Beautiful. Bravo!

[@Mordalo]

How is the mainsail handled? Mast or boom furling? Also, I saw no power for the winches.

[@erlanromero5516]

love the boat, ideal sailing yacht

[@shawnvader2809]

I absolutely love these boats, I can't afford one yet but it still gives me a lot of joy watching this. Thank you for such a detailed walkthrough. The French still have that explorer spirit running through their veins and that's why they build boats like this. Merci beaucoup. Laisse maintenant aller à la voile.

[@floriandarbois1954]

Si le bateau est aussi bon que votre accent, je vais acheter un Amel

[@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh]

😂😂😂

[@roykoch2584]

Is it possible to have larger toe rails ?

[@Onthecliffhermanus]

Very comprehensive tour.

[@tomriley5790]

Great boat, really like the visiblity from inside the saloon and the shelter for the crew in uncomfortable conditions - looks like a great yacht for going literally anywhere. Thanks for the tour!

[@brettharrison2237]

I think I’d be comfortable with this boat. As we Aussies say, it’s built like a brick shithouse and it’s superb engineering is obvious. The fact that it owes its DNA to Jimmy Cornell and has Pete Goss’s tick of approval speaks volumes. If the GE45 is a Landrover with a BMW interior, then this is an M1 tank with the BMW fit out. I’d love one.

[@joerickard4216]

Who manufactures the radiator heating system on the Garcia 52? Is it the same on the Exploration 45? At 14:46 into the video it is mentioned that it is a oil burning system.

[@carryonsailing]

The winter goer's are usually refleks

[@Александр-ь7ж3й]

What is its cruising and maximum speed?

[@davidogle7568]

Amazing boat, well thought out.

[@okidokiyowyow356]

Whats the top speed of this boat?

[@operator0]

Under sail, she tops out at just over 10 knots.

[@pflaffik]

I like how practicality is kept in focus, while a british would scream for more natural light and sun, these guys thought of how to keep the saloon cool while maintaining visibility. Not necessarily what many buyers want but it is what they need. Other things are less thought through, the galley may have been influenced by regatta sailors, more for fast meals of low quality, less for a month of mid ocean quality time.

[@petermcgrory5267]

I live in Newfoundland, Canada and I can’t think of a more appropriate vessel for myself, so I can spend 6-8 months in the higher latitudes and the rest of the year reheating both myself and the boat; Range Rover of the seas! She’s perfect!

[@michaeldouglas6872]

Great boat, but still trying to find a KZbin review of the Garcia's where they put some time in to the engine room. Seems like a bit of wasted space on the sugar scoop area that could have been used for maybe more aft lockers or more interior aft cabin space, and wonder also if twin helm is really that important on a 52' Expedition sailboat,, when you look at the design of the HR 54 as example. I could imagine more support on the Arch for solar panels and make it more robust, and a better design for the tender lifting device as that system doesn't look very heavy duty.

My dream.... such nice details and it seams really sturdy.... but in the end, to own a Garcia 52 is for me a dream, only a miracle can fulfill... But what a fantastic long distance cruising sailing boat!

[@davidaharon656]

Hi guys I'm looking for cheoy Lee ketch project is okay to if you know any please let me know thanks 👍🙏 love the video big like

[@crustyolcoot6646]

A serious can do yacht. Great design and build. Well done.

[@johanwesterberg8744]

"a desk where you can work..." lifting up the vanity mirror "...or do some other stuff" LOL Love the presentation. Very clear, professional. And the boat itself obviously

[@MyLapuLapu]

Very nice boat sir and well explained. thank you for that.

[@marcwouters6059]

Very very cool boat , top designed and well revieuwd !!!! Bravo Garcia yachts !!!!

[@vonwillful]

Love the inverted windows! Beautiful boat!

[@squarehead7246]

Garcia - would setting up the 52 or 60 using all electric propulsion (Like Gunboat Moonwave) be feasible? (With a robust Genset and Solar...)

[@andrewfernandez7203]

There is a Exploration 45 (ANEMIS) out there on all electric already. Look him up as he explains why he went with what. I believe he launched June or July 2019.

[@koborkutya7338]

Good tour thank you! Besides the size, is there anything different in terms of features or characteristics from the 45'?

[@marlo2303]

More of everything but looking at the specs, furling main is an option you don't get on 45.

[@henryk8253]

Why is the "pilothouse" roof made of composites?

[@supremeflagship8965]

It's a "weight saving" measure...

[@rickjones8735]

Extremely well thought out boat.

[@bambimen2450]

Is it suitable for solo sailing around the world?

[@chucklesx]

If you need to ask you are not suitable to sail it around the world solo.

[@agradina]

half a million views for a sailing yacht what so special?

[@larryboles629]

Love the Garcia's well thought out, cruising machines!

[@pepelopez6951]

Great video ! great boat !

[@RobertLugoNYC]

This is the Yacht the sailing world has waited for. The 45 is nice, this is more of that in a much larger vessel.

[@marcow1964]

Super yacht! Well thought out. So much more boat than the 45.

[@anzeigeroberfreiamt2271]

Nice vessel! But I have concerns how about viewing whats comming at the helm if i was underway. For exemple fishing nets or so. I would like to see this. is there a possibility?

[@robwestern7702]

If you ever want to sponsor a family to sail your beautiful boat around the world don't hesitate to say hi it would be an honour to own your vessel great job the finish and the design is straight and honest I bet she would sail safely in the harshest sea and look good doing it

[@johnbbrose486]

Hi, wondering with the cabin water tight doors: in a worse case scenario and someone is locked in cabin with water tight doors and boat capsizes-is there a way to escape the cabin or a way to get air into cabin?

[@terranborn56]

Most boats like this will right themselves in the event of a capsize. The water proof bulkheads keep it from sinking in the event something pierces the shell.

[@goulash75]

An absolutely beautiful boat. I think these Exploration designs are probably the best out there. My one complaint was that when looking around below deck, it was very hard to get a feel for where the berths were. The camera needs a wider angle lens so we can see the layout better. I couldn't tell if the forward berth was parallel or right angles to the boat and were is the second berth they looked at? I thought it was port, aft, but then there seemed to be another room port, aft with access to the rudder mechanism. Just a bit hazy about the layout inside. (Guess I'll have to go to the website to find out.)

[@randystrand908]

Ditto!

[@nunosimoes5711]

wow... this is a boat!!! I wish I had one like this!!!

[@JohnSpo]

love these boats. im saving my pennies so that I can afford one in a few hundred years. Does the aluminum get hot?

[@joecucch8261]

Only when you apply heat.

[@mikelooby9248]

Just WOW !

[@shawnb3101]

This is the perfect ideal SV Yacht...It will outlast most owners and go anywhere. This one is also rated as an ice breaker to a small degree. With wind, solar and hydro you have all the power you would ever need without a generator, although I would still want a generator as a redundant backup. He didn't touch on an A/c Unit which I would think would be needed in tropical humid area's, but I am sure its an option. Beautiful Yacht and a can go anywhere Sailing vessel (SV)

[@squarehead7246]

I would upgrade the batteries/solar - use an electric motor (Torqeedo) - why not go as green as you can?

[@kentwood2914]

Shawn,...need a generator as back up to the force of the water, wind and solar? I think the only reason people think we need diesel generators and engines is because fossil fuel won the battle in the early 1900s when people were already designing electric cars.

[@coffeytnmilk]

I am always interested in the interior height. Wondering if this might be clarified, what the internal headroom is

[@fuckingSickOfCreepyG]

There's a lot of headroom in the port side, but on the starboard side and the centre of the saloon there's much less because of the centreboard configuration. You can see the diagrams in their site, but it's appreciable in the video as well. In the front cabin there's plenty of headroom. It's a tradeoff.

[@kentwood2914]

they adjust the floor height to meet the height needs of the owner. Does ANY OTHER BOAT BUILDER do that?

[@randystrand908]

@@kentwood2914Had same question. Didn't know anyone built boats around the owners girth... I mean hight! Ha! So where do I get a fitting and place my order???

[@corujariousa]

This is certainly a high quality yacht. I wish Garcia had created a layout with an engine room as spacious and as of easy access as the Amel/Discovery/Oyster though. The same goes for the heads. Then we’d have an almost perfect yacht, in my opinion of course. Thanks for the video.

[@languillierbernard237]

This is the closest thing to my dream boat, I just need to find a million Euro, a place where to park it and... to learn how to sail it! ;)

To learn to sail is really easy, believe me...

[@maxb9767]

Bernd Röver i doubt learning to sail is the big challenge out of the three

[@dougefresh133]

Languillier Bernard - My thoughts exactly!

[@daveinfrance56]

You wouldn't need a place to park it, just keep sailing

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Learning to sail is great fun and costs relatively little. Why not try it?

[@migaguiar]

Just the perfect boat!!!

[@esquire9445]

I want to know how to get the engine out if it needs a total replacement.

[@baddazzgarage2953]

@Wade Brown no its not difficult you simply take it out! 😂!

[@baddazzgarage2953]

@Wade Brown i no i couldn't help myself mate!! 👍

[@markjessurun1294]

This is a beautiful yacht with everything on it!! Besides i wish i could talk Spanish like he talks English!! U doing good Sir !!

[@roadracer247]

Incredible boat! Would love to see it out sailing!!

[@cockyrooster361]

if this thing was about 5-7 ft longer, and had one steering wheel inside the cockpit like an Amel, this boat would be perfect

[@kylelee8685]

Better than Amel.

[@rockroll9473]

Thank you for the tour.

[@flylooper]

How much? Di they take Visa cards?

[@ФансреспубликиБанан-п9е]

Рыбята накидайте пожалуйста лайков чтоб иностранцы думали что я опытный яхтсмен и написал что то умное .

[@JohnDoe-fz5cz]

why not have one of the steering stations moved forward so that the helmsman be protected in sever weather, under the dodger.

[@steviebee1989]

John Doe I’m not too sure but can’t you steer the boat via a joy stick in the saloon? The throttles for the Volvo Penta are there after all. So there are three steering stations, two out in the weather and one in the saloon.

[@josephsellarslesacelier2742]

what s headrm ??

[@andrewfernandez7203]

the person presenting is over 6ft if that gives you an idea.

[@dru844]

Das ist wohl ein oder mehrere ääääääääää sager unterwegs.

[@robwestern7702]

I'm definitely sold on this beautiful lady do guys want to donate one to a disabled family man that would love to show the world to his children I know it's a big ask so I wouldn't expect a yes but if you don't ask you never know great job

[@baddazzgarage2953]

Nobody in this world would give anyone anything! Why would you want to show your kids a world like that!!

[@caffeinejo]

A very pleasant, comprehensive video tour. Thank you for the excellent presentation. As others have indicated, I would like to see a follow-up video of her under sail. All the best ..

[@persomulliez5848]

En 70/80" je serais le premier client. Quatre hommes d'équipage, alu et très sûr... La balle est dans votre camp.

[@mikegates40]

This is the ultimate boat ! I can imagine the "new car smell".

[@michaelrandold4656]

Hmm. This is likely the boat I would buy if my price range was as high. Have to see how she measures up sailing in heavy weather, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess she's just fine. No boat is gonna be perfect, but this looks pretty close to what I'm looking at in a blue water cruiser.

[@squarehead7246]

I would really like an interior space with a smaller dinning table, forward facing lounge seating so you can recline a bit with feet up and enjoy the views from inside.

[@Jespervangcom]

This is the video I've been waiting for :-) Great tour of the ship, now pls post a video to see sailing performance :-) Thanks for posting this

[@chooseyourboatFR]

It is coming soon Jesper !

[@Livxer]

Any update on the situation? Would love to see the boat under sail!

[@chooseyourboatFR]

We work hard on that ! It will come soon. Thank you for your interest.

[@WimBotha1]

Still waiting...

[@jitrows8384]

2 years later still waiting. Beautiful vesel

[@whitecloudgroovin2005]

Very nice tour. Thankyou.

[@terranborn56]

Seems like a very capable alternative to the Allures.

[@MrBillFletcherr]

Engine access did not look good.

[@andrewfernandez7203]

For maintenance it's fine, I would just like to know how you would go about "changing" the engine when the time comes although I have heard they have solved this with a change in the flooring, I just haven't seen it yet.

[@mickturner1996]

Love it, how much? Well I guess I can dream.
