Superb Garcia Exploration 52. Some noticeable differences from previous Exploration 52's. A truly great blue water sailing boat for all climate and oceans. Great job from French shipyard Garcia.
Thank you for watching and I am glad you liked the video, if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.😁🤩
Another beautiful Garcia and a great tour! I love seeing the boats being shown inside and out while under use. Still looking forward to the Explocat someday!?
The Explocat will be coming next year, hopefully, in late spring 2024, it depends on the owner and boat yard but fingers crossed. I am glad you liked the video, if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.

She sailed really well, not bouncy but stable as she ploughed her way through the sea. I lost a lot of footage but will be out on her again next summer so we hope to redo a lot of the sailing (manoeuvring and technical stuff) again. I can say we had wind against tide and around 2/2.5kn of tide as we were on springs which for most boats a very uncomfortable setting but the Garcia 52 just sat in the water and kept us moving forward at a good pace. I think the boats are similar as regards to how they handle and cope with different conditions but I want an Allures and I prefer for my taste and needs for sailing the cockpit setup of the Allures but the safety of the Garcia. It's a hard choice.

For a moment I thought you entered a submarine at 41:14. Your reviews are unsurpassed 😊 I finally subbed now! It may be the somewhat nonsensical channel name keeping some peeps from subbing? Your like/ dislike ratio however is always over 100, so lots to feel proud over anyway, and well deserved 🍺😎
That is one of the things I love about Allures and Garcia is all the hidden places that make sense on their boats, Technical rooms, storage spots and all sorts.

It would be fun to test them side by side for a month or two wouldn’t it, but I would say when looking at yachts of their caliber it will always come down to your personal choice.
You made my day yet again. Thank you!!! Love this boat! Was launched 7 years ago I think and doesn't get old, which says a lot. At that size it would be really hard though to choose between the rugged Exploration 52 and the more roomy but without pilot house or workshop Allure 51.9. A reviewer wrote, Allure for sailing, Exploration for high latitude exploration and liveaboard. Not sure why for liveaboard. Any opinions?
Ah, now that's a hard one Allures 51.9 or Garcia 52 exploration. same shipyard very similar hull you might say the same hulls. One is a raised salon with water-tight doors etc the other is an open-plan light interior. Ok before I go on I think what we have to do is a V's video??? I think a lot will come down to the type of sailing you want to do and where in the world you see yourself exploring then we plan the pros and cons of each sailboat??🙃😉😁
I've just bought myself a ticket for the 240 Million Euro Jackpot tonight. With a little luck, I can order a 52 tomorrow morning. 😁 ⛵ @@SVTONICBoatWives @GarciaYachts_official
Judging by the amount of heaters throughout, it seems plans are for majority colder climate sailing and as such, curious as to the cork decking with freezing temps and icing.
Boat is indeed made for those who also want to pursue high latitude exploration. Jimmy Cornel did a northwest passage on the Garcia 45, Aventura. I believe that Arctic Monkey, another Garcia 45, also did the passage. However, you wouldn't do it in the winter. It's not meant to go crab fishing in the Bering sea in January.
I have had a few chats with the owner (very nice guy and good sailer) about his plans and future adventures with his Garcia 52 and yes there will be some high-latitude sailing let's just say I am waiting to see the polar bear and iceberg photos. I like the cork deck and it works well when wet, better than most non-slip decks but I am with you on I would like to see what it is like frozen or covered in snow., if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.🤩😘

Maybe you would be willing to consider taking me on a Garcia? I am on my 56th consecutive day of learning French on Duolingo because of the Grand Large bunch.

@@constantinealexandrakis Brilliant, you never know what the future holds and if you are up for some sailing in the future that might be a possibility.

Thank you for Another Great in-depth tour. can the windless be used manually? It looks like it may be difficult because of the hatch. I am looking forward to your tour of the ExploCat.
Great video again, well done you!! Love this yacht and the 45. Couple of questions please. You have been out on both, both very safe and very capable. If money was not the issue, would you get the 52? or stick with the 45? for reasons of 1 out in big seas? 2 trying to get into a busy marina? 3 high winds and tides when at anchor? and 4 any other reasons? Also at the end of the video there is an open door next to the very tall radiator at the end off the saloon sofa, is this the door to the under floor cabin? Is that shown in any of your videos? Many thanks for such a great and informative channel. Keep up the good work. Cheers Rich
Ahh, just watched it again and totally mis understood at around 40 mins the cabin with euro box draws and washer dryer. This is the area that can also be a single? or double berth? I should have known you'd be too sharp to miss a whole area out. Sincere apologies

As always, a nice video. It would be nicer if the technical information were shown elsewhere. The overlays disturb the images. Maybe significantly smaller, that would be ok too.
I totally understand, some subscribers were saying before it was too small or they could not see the text etc, what I might do is put it towards the end of the video?
@@SVTONICBoatWives I think it's very good to show it at the end. Yachting world does it that way too. In any case, thank you very much for the very good video - nice and long - and for your interest.
Hi, gotta say it would make viewing a lot easier if you could do a walk through first, then go back for the details. I found it difficult to get a good feel for the boat filmed this way. Cheers
that dehumidifier feature, along with very good headroom has impressed me, as insulation next to the hull of metal boats can be a real prinlem due to condensation getting between the insulation and the Hull, which can do some pretty serious damage taking place with it being out of sight. I think I'd want the internal hull barrier coated with a condensation drainage system working away there on the internal face of the insulation as a first line of defence and backed up with that nice Dehumidification system ? Humidity and Condensation can be as big a problem in the Tropics as in the colder regions, and there is probably a way of using that Condensation with airflow as evaporative cooling, which if done right, can be surprisingly powerful. I had a very powerful Breathable Waterproof two piece Oversuit over my motorbike Gear (actually a Golfing Oversuit ) when touring, that never let a drop in, and in torrential Downpours on the Continent in Summer, I'd get so cold, Id have to stop in rest areas to have hot drinks to helpwarm up very frequently. That was all down to the limited movement of air over the Suit, as I had a bice touring Givi Screen on the front, Silver with a Silver front wheel mudguard, so in a driver's rear view mirror, it looked like there was a bloody big Silver Dagger coming up behind. that subliminal messaging worked an absolute treat too.😂. Best Wishes. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
Something I would add to a galley, which American boats frequently have , is an electric waste disposal unit in one of the Sinks, and a Trash compactor, especially on a boat that's likeley to spend a fair bit of time Offshore ? 🤔 Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
You really want to put your waste imto your sink and then into your tanks? I know US people like to do this but even at home this is hilarious and you want to do this on a boat? Really? Trash compactor is a must. I do not understand why it missing on ALL small bluewater yachts. There is also never ever a proper place to put your waste. I always wonder if people just throw it overboards or keep their waste in the saloon…
@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh Sigh, the Waste disposal Sink Grinds up all the Waste food, potato peelings, bits of carrot, Cabbage, coconut, Banana etc, which with seawater goes down the pipe from the sink and through a Through Hull exits the Boat and is released as Fish food or crustacean food. It doesn't end up in a Tank, and a TrashbCompactor neatly crushes recyclable Waste into a compact volume prior to adding to Collection Bins. I haven't had a Trash Compactor on a boat yet, but have had a Waste disposal Unit at home for years, though probably a better substitute on a Boat would be a Really good blender ? 🤔 Best Wishes Bob. 👍
@@brownnoise357 Hey Bob, thx for your reply 👍🏻 it may be quite usual to drain the sink directly overboard, at least in US waters. I wouldn‘t do it and keep it in a grey or black tank until it is either pumped out or can be discharged in open offshore blue waters. I wonder if it is allowed to discharge whilst boating the intercoastal waterways or US rivers? Honest question
@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh Vegetable and fruit waste, can be put in a blender, then put in a decent sized bucket and add sugar, water, and activated Bread yeast, put a cloth over the bucket to keep flies out, let it ferment, then tip it over the Side when far enough from the Coast, but blended fruit and vegetables are not litter or waste, they are food for marine Life , so do not do any harm, but the smell of fermentation is really nice, seems especially when you add over ripe Bananas ? you could just let things complete fermenting until finished, Spain off the liquid, and if competent, cistilmitvto Extract the Ethanol, separated from the Esters, and the 50 % Ethanol is excellent for making Spirit Liquers with. Copper Stills are best, and I have a very nice Legal one made in Italy, which usually can be sourced from Ebay. It isn't that hard to Distill properly, especially if you don't use Rapid Fermentation High Strengthbyeasts which produce large amounts of Disgusting Tasting Estsrs. Stick to slower Fermentation yeasts like read yeasts for great results. Then chuck the leftovers over the side of the boat to feed the fish. 👍
Honest question. I have no experience of in-mast furling, or in-boom furling for that matter, but would you really, on a Garcia 52? It just seems like a boat- a tier of boats- that a person buys because they're planning to do some of the things it's actually capable of. I can't imagine a malfunction, not being able to reef in highish latitudes... I'd think it would be a negative for resale in what I imagine the used Garcia market to be.
@@ingeebeltoft It's a nice boat, good size for single-handed sailing and living if a little cramped. They have a good reputation and I will admit I have never sailed one but I am a little curious. to how they handle?
The best, way electric is noisy, uses a lot of fresh water and is a pain to unblock. I would always have 1 manual toilet if it was a twin-head boat. , if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
@@SVTONICBoatWives the sail load number is only about 4,05, 119 m² and 19 tons weight. Look at HR, X-Yachts, Hanse, they have all more. It's because of the ballast directly under the boat, so boats like this don't have so much stability as a yacht with a deep keel.
@@easyman8609 Yes and no, it's all about design and engineering nowadays, the problem we have is comparing it with an X-yacht or a Hanse etc is hull shape, weight and designed use of the yacht are very different. Yes, you can add a keel to make a larger rig for your yacht but for what purpose? If you want to go fast buy a performance yacht, if you want to have the ability to explore places most yachts can't go then buy a Garcia. Allures have a more sporty 45s with a lifting keel and carbon rig and it is faster than the standard 45 but as soon as you lift the keel you are changing the stability of the yach?
@@easyman8609 Just going by your example, X-yachts, Hanse etc but I believe a sail area of 177m2 is fair for a 50ft yacht don't you as standard?. If you think it has a small m2 that's fine we can go back and forth all night if you wish, But my first question stands what is the purpose of the yacht and what do you expect from it? Then and only then can you start to compare with relevant data starting with design, engineering and rig?

Great Tour, and as a fan of Jefa Steering, it hit me that only Sirius Yachts for some reason are the only ones using their excellent three position easily moved single wheel Steering System, which to me, makes a lot of sense, as otherwise I'm not exactly a huge fan of fixed Wheels in a Cockpit . If it's a small Aft Cockpit the wheel an be a total obstructive pain in the backside. tbh, only the fact that Sirius only make Deck Saloon Sailboats, ruled one out for me for the Tropics, as added to limited internal Air Volume hampering Hot Air management andRemoval slapping a glazed greenhouse on a Monohull only exacerbates the Problem. Otherwise the Sirius Brand do build extremely high quality boats, and the twin Keel version would be perfoct for around Britain, Baltic, NE and NW Coasts ofCanada and the USA , and overall, a realy lovely Boat Builder. tbh, I'm wondering if I can get that three position Wheel Jefa System as a Custom option on a new build now, Talk about Liberating an Aft Cockpit. 🤔 Best Wishes. Bob 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
Dream boat for sure, saving my nickels. The camera closeups are hard to watch. I want to see more of the boat but not in this format. Please, better angles or something.

I wouldn't bother they never have any money in them anymore, but I like your enthusiasm for the boat though. Now the diamond reserve might just get you what you need.🤩😁🤣
Do NOT do videos when the sun is in your face and everything else is dark. Not sure if it is your camera or what is going on but there is no point to recording these videos unless you can do the lighting and sound properly. Just refuse those ones.
such a shame you think so it was a last-minute call an 8-hour drive and a lot of equipment failure on my part but we still did it and will be going out next year to redo the video to get it right.

You really want to put your waste imto your sink and then into your tanks? I know US people like to do this but even at home this is hilarious and you want to do this on a boat? Really?
Trash compactor is a must. I do not understand why it missing on ALL small bluewater yachts. There is also never ever a proper place to put your waste. I always wonder if people just throw it overboards or keep their waste in the saloon…
@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh Sigh, the Waste disposal Sink Grinds up all the Waste food, potato peelings, bits of carrot, Cabbage, coconut, Banana etc, which with seawater goes down the pipe from the sink and through a Through Hull exits the Boat and is released as Fish food or crustacean food. It doesn't end up in a Tank, and a TrashbCompactor neatly crushes recyclable Waste into a compact volume prior to adding to Collection Bins. I haven't had a Trash Compactor on a boat yet, but have had a Waste disposal Unit at home for years, though probably a better substitute on a Boat would be a Really good blender ? 🤔 Best Wishes Bob. 👍
@@brownnoise357 Hey Bob, thx for your reply 👍🏻 it may be quite usual to drain the sink directly overboard, at least in US waters. I wouldn‘t do it and keep it in a grey or black tank until it is either pumped out or can be discharged in open offshore blue waters.
I wonder if it is allowed to discharge whilst boating the intercoastal waterways or US rivers? Honest question
@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh Vegetable and fruit waste, can be put in a blender, then put in a decent sized bucket and add sugar, water, and activated Bread yeast, put a cloth over the bucket to keep flies out, let it ferment, then tip it over the Side when far enough from the Coast, but blended fruit and vegetables are not litter or waste, they are food for marine Life , so do not do any harm, but the smell of fermentation is really nice, seems especially when you add over ripe Bananas ? you could just let things complete fermenting until finished, Spain off the liquid, and if competent, cistilmitvto Extract the Ethanol, separated from the Esters, and the 50 % Ethanol is excellent for making Spirit Liquers with. Copper Stills are best, and I have a very nice Legal one made in Italy, which usually can be sourced from Ebay. It isn't that hard to Distill properly, especially if you don't use Rapid Fermentation High Strengthbyeasts which produce large amounts of Disgusting Tasting Estsrs. Stick to slower Fermentation yeasts like read yeasts for great results. Then chuck the leftovers over the side of the boat to feed the fish. 👍
👍👍👍
Honest question. I have no experience of in-mast furling, or in-boom furling for that matter, but would you really, on a Garcia 52? It just seems like a boat- a tier of boats- that a person buys because they're planning to do some of the things it's actually capable of. I can't imagine a malfunction, not being able to reef in highish latitudes... I'd think it would be a negative for resale in what I imagine the used Garcia market to be.
I had a nice dream😂
Im a happy smalboat sailor 👨✈️😎
I love small boats too especially for fun on the water, do you have a preferred small boat?
@@SVTONICBoatWives hi man. My boat is an Etap30 i an 2004 mod. I lived onboard for 13 years and loved it ❤️🍺
@@ingeebeltoft It's a nice boat, good size for single-handed sailing and living if a little cramped. They have a good reputation and I will admit I have never sailed one but I am a little curious. to how they handle?
Great video…zooming in on a toilet for 20 seconds
@@chksix6 glad you liked the toilet shot, we worked hard on that one.
What,no dishwasher? 😞😞
You can have one if you want, your wish is my command. ;)
Manual toilet pump? O_o
The best, way electric is noisy, uses a lot of fresh water and is a pain to unblock. I would always have 1 manual toilet if it was a twin-head boat. , if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
it's not an Amel, it's high latitude blue water sailboat
@@philv3941 You are right but you can have a manual Toilet in an Amel if you want; just for fun
Nice ship, but very small sails.
How so?
@@SVTONICBoatWives the sail load number is only about 4,05, 119 m² and 19 tons weight. Look at HR, X-Yachts, Hanse, they have all more. It's because of the ballast directly under the boat, so boats like this don't have so much stability as a yacht with a deep keel.
@@easyman8609 Yes and no, it's all about design and engineering nowadays, the problem we have is comparing it with an X-yacht or a Hanse etc is hull shape, weight and designed use of the yacht are very different. Yes, you can add a keel to make a larger rig for your yacht but for what purpose? If you want to go fast buy a performance yacht, if you want to have the ability to explore places most yachts can't go then buy a Garcia. Allures have a more sporty 45s with a lifting keel and carbon rig and it is faster than the standard 45 but as soon as you lift the keel you are changing the stability of the yach?
@@SVTONICBoatWives There is no need for a performance yacht, you can take a HR, or a Nordship or a Contest. Also Boreal has more sails.
@@easyman8609 Just going by your example, X-yachts, Hanse etc but I believe a sail area of 177m2 is fair for a 50ft yacht don't you as standard?. If you think it has a small m2 that's fine we can go back and forth all night if you wish, But my first question stands what is the purpose of the yacht and what do you expect from it? Then and only then can you start to compare with relevant data starting with design, engineering and rig?
Bu benim favorim ama bir kaç iç mimari gelişime ihtiyacı var .
I am glad you liked the video, if you have any questions do ask as we will be taking this boat out again in early summer 2024 to make a technical and pure sailing video.
Ben tercihim denizde yanliz seyahat etmek o yüzden tek kişinin kullanabileceği . Dalgalardan daha fazla dayak yiyen 40 feet ve 35 feet aralığı . Tanıtımın güzel cevap için teşekkür ettim . Henüz değil . 2026 yılında bir tekne sahibi olacağım . Umarım deniz de ilk tanıtımına sizi davet edebilirim. Rüzgarın bol teknen stabil yıldızlar rehberin güç vede irade senin olsun .
😃👍👏👏👏
Great Tour, and as a fan of Jefa Steering, it hit me that only Sirius Yachts for some reason are the only ones using their excellent three position easily moved single wheel Steering System, which to me, makes a lot of sense, as otherwise I'm not exactly a huge fan of fixed Wheels in a Cockpit . If it's a small Aft Cockpit the wheel an be a total obstructive pain in the backside. tbh, only the fact that Sirius only make Deck Saloon Sailboats, ruled one out for me for the Tropics, as added to limited internal Air Volume hampering Hot Air management andRemoval slapping a glazed greenhouse on a Monohull only exacerbates the Problem. Otherwise the Sirius Brand do build extremely high quality boats, and the twin Keel version would be perfoct for around Britain, Baltic, NE and NW Coasts ofCanada and the USA , and overall, a realy lovely Boat Builder. tbh, I'm wondering if I can get that three position Wheel Jefa System as a Custom option on a new build now, Talk about Liberating an Aft Cockpit. 🤔 Best Wishes. Bob 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
Dream boat for sure, saving my nickels. The camera closeups are hard to watch. I want to see more of the boat but not in this format. Please, better angles or something.
Glad you like the boat, as I say to everyone if you want better angles I need better camera gear so please fill free to hit the super thanks button and make a donation, and I will do my best to do a better job.
Beautiful boat. Really need to switch to Garmin nav and electronics.
no.
I should rob a bank
I wouldn't bother they never have any money in them anymore, but I like your enthusiasm for the boat though. Now the diamond reserve might just get you what you need.🤩😁🤣
The way Orcas are sinking Fibreglass sailing vessels lately!?!. serious ocean cruisers must be considering Aluminium hulls.
We are, aluminum all the way.
Do NOT do videos when the sun is in your face and everything else is dark. Not sure if it is your camera or what is going on but there is no point to recording these videos unless you can do the lighting and sound properly. Just refuse those ones.
skiper no good
no good skipper
I feel everytime your on camera you dont really know what your talking about or your just shy on the camera??
What a poor unprepared tour…if you can see it…etc etc etc…don’t know how to…thing like that…
such a shame you think so it was a last-minute call an 8-hour drive and a lot of equipment failure on my part but we still did it and will be going out next year to redo the video to get it right.
I am glad you watched it though, maybe you can give us your inside on the boat? What do you think of the Garcia 52?
