Overview
About this vessel
MCP Yachts, founded by engineers Damien Chaves and Manoel Chaves (two generations of passionate sailors and aluminum shipbuilders), is motivated to create a sustainable yacht that provides comfort and safety for cruisers all over the world. The Global Exp 68 gathers comfort, sophistication and safety with the spirit of adventure sailing.
Aluminum and material technology: The aluminum hull (alloy 5083 - material certified by Lloyd's Register) is extremely lightweight and robust, infinitely durable, non-flammable, nonabsorbent and rigid up to 10 times greater than heavier fiberglass hulls. Smart joinery with low-density composite structures guarantees lightness and contributes to the high performance of this sailing yacht.
Aft Cabin Main Stateroom: Unbeatable luxury and volume, the main stateroom includes a king size double bed, private office, high ceiling closets, sofa and a stunning and very comfortable bathroom.
Cockpit and Doghouse: The central cockpit strategically provides amplitude in the aft cabin and is fully protected by a beautifully designed hardtop. The rigid doghouse dispenses the fragility and low durability of canvas dodgers, biminis and fragile and expensive covers. The Global Exp 68 is always looking beautiful and ready to go.
Engine Room: A fully enclosed and high ceiling engine room with comfortable access through a watertight door with manual lockers, watertight aluminum bulkheads and impeccable acoustically effective insulation that withstands temperatures up to 600°C.
Raised Salon and Pilot House: Quiet sailing in inhospitable weather. The raised salon allows the inclusion of a pilot house in the comfort and heat of the main hall, with panoramic views to the sea and autopilot commands, navigation electronics, engine levers and anchor winch control.
Swing Keel: The hydraulic retractable mechanism takes up very little longitudinal space in the centerline. The retracted keel provides a minimum draft of 1.85 meters and guarantees protection to the propulsive assembly and rudder. The system has mechanical, hydraulic and structural robustness designed to increase safety during anchorage approach. With the keel down and in case of impact, the hydraulic mechanism works as a shock absorber.
Electronic Technical Area: An area with controlled ventilation reserved for navigation electronics, battery chargers and monitoring systems to ensure an ideal environment for the conservation of the most delicate equipment.
Midship Cabins: Unique guest suites provided by the raised salon design. Cozy midship cabins with privileged sea view, comfortable double beds, folding sofas, big storage spaces and private bathrooms. Perfect ventilation from side portlights and emergency exits through good size ocean deck hatches.
Front Cabin: A big and comfortable suite with a lot of natural light, a big size double bed, sofa, masses of storage spaces inside a private closet and a nice, good size bathroom. The bow cabin also gives access to the technical area at the front.
Bow Technical Area: A perfect work space and tool storage area designed for boat work and maintenance.
