  • Boat descriptionThe vessel is an Exploration 45 built in 2014 at Garcia shipyard. She was built for Jimmy Cornell; she already went through the North-West passage and also from Svalbard to the limit of the Arctic ice pack up to 80° North. She is very comfortable, highly equipped in terms of security and communication. I took the boat back to Garcia shipyard for a partial refit (2019); we had then a huge sailing tour in North Europe and then down to Marseilles; afterwards, during the Covid period, the boat being very close to my home, I went through a very detailed preparation for a 5 years around the world cruise. At the end of 2022 she was fully ready for new adventures. NB: French and English usually spoken on board.
