Aluminum catamaran Garcia Explocat 52
Inspired by the success of the 48-foot catamaran and the Exploration series of monohull yachts, Garcia shipyard launches the Explocat expedition motor sailing catamaran. The body, which is lighter and stiffer than fiberglass, will provide excellent speed and safety. The high-quality interior will make you feel at home.
The new Garcia Explocat 52 is custom made with aluminum hulls and structures and fiberglass composite deck roofs. Aluminum shipbuilding has been Garcia's strength for over 40 years. Here in Normandy, the Garcia shipyard has built more than 300 monohulls, catamarans and trawlers up to 102 feet in length.
In the new ocean-going catamaran Garcia Explocat 52, the shipyard, in collaboration with architects, has resorted to the best solution - they have left the recognizable lines in Garcia and the proven composite material of the deck superstructure roof in the new catamaran. This represents a huge advantage for the future owner, as the weight is reduced and the acoustic and thermal insulation of the cabins' ceiling is significantly increased. Garcia Explocat 52 is specially designed for owners who want to walk in high latitudes and / or in the tropics.
