Garcia Exploration 52

AYSHA represents a rare opportunity to acquire a superb 2020 Garcia Exploration 52. Owned from new by her original owner, who has lived aboard and sailed her extensively, she has been meticulously maintained and continuously updated. AYSHA is designed and built for long-distance, autonomous bluewater sailing. The Exploration 52 evolved from the Garcia Exploration 45 originally conceived by Jimmy Cornell, created specifically for safe, capable and shorthanded world voyaging.

Her robust aluminum construction features a single-piece hull, deck and deck saloon structure, creating exceptional rigidity and strength. The centerboard and twin rudders are specifically designed to allow the yacht to safely beach at low tide, making it easy to inspect anodes and running gear without needing to schedule a haulout. Combined, these features deliver outstanding safety and versatility across a wide range of conditions, from high latitudes to tropical anchorages.

AYSHA is also equipped with Oceanvolt hybrid propulsion, offering efficient and quiet motoring. The hard dodger makes for a very well protected cockpit, and inboard mounted primary winches make extended passagemaking comfortable and safe. The Exploration series also has the anchor chain locker located low and near the mast, removing excessive weight from the bow.

Passing through the waterproof companionway doors, the deck saloon design fills the interior with natural light and panoramic 270-degree views. Double-glazed windows and thick hull insulation provide acoustic and thermal insulation for true all-climate sailing. Interior soles are also foam insulated for added comfort when cold weather sailing.

AYSHA s convivial saloon and galley, spacious owner s suite, VIP double cabin, and versatile workshop/twin cabin with cockpit access plus a below saloon dedicated technical/storage area with fold-down pipe berth create a comfortable, capable platform underway or at anchor. Don t miss this rare opportunity to purchase a proven, ocean-going yacht that has already demonstrated her capability and is ready for her next voyage.
