******************************
An attractive aluminium monohull with beautiful sailing lines and a light, spacious and comfortable interior. Fully bluewater ready, she handles easily and has a flexible sailplan well suited to short handed ocean cruising. With twin rudders and lifting centreboard she is superbly stable on all points of sail under autohelm or while enjoying handsteering.
The lifting centreboard allows access to shallower anchorages than for fixed keel boats opening up wonderful anchoring opportunities near reefs, rivers and drying out for maintenance.
Elegant yet strong, she provides a great feeling of security with her aluminium hull, twin rudders and a lifting centreboard. Bonaire is an ocean cruiser with comforting redundancy; several key systems are duplicated for greater reliability, for example twin rudders, 2 separate autohelms, 2 water tanks, 2 water pumps, foot pump, 5 methods of generating power, 3 integral GPS receivers, 4 methods for showing electronic charts. Other features are strongly engineered, for example, 12mm standing rigging, large Andersen 68ST jib winches, upsized 35 kg anchor and 12mm chain.
The boat has enormous storage space. This was highlighted to the owners and family when they victualled Bonaire for the South Pacific. They left Panama with more than 6 months of food, alcohol and spares without loading into cabin space. Also have onboard are 2 bikes, 2 SUPs, a Kayak, 2 outboards all in lockers, and space for a kid's sailing dinghy on the coachroof.
The owners write: "Our family has sailed more than 16,000 miles on Bonaire from the UK to the South Pacific over 3 years. She is in great working order and ready to continue onto her next bluewater adventure."
Garcia Yachts have been designing and building internationally-renowned ocean cruising boats since 1974. They are still setting the standards in the world of aluminium sailing yachts today. Each yacht is carefully custom-built using the very best equipment, workmanship and second-to-none attention to detail. Garcia Yachts have refined each yacht in every possible way to ensure the safety and pleasure of their owners no matter where in the world they wished to journey. Garcia Yachts is the promise of sailing where you want, farther, longer, and whatever the weather.
Their philosophy: to push the limits, to offer you the best in all aspects, for extraordinary trips, in complete serenity.
Almost every Garcia Yacht built has circumnavigated. Many have sailed into the Arctic and Antarctic circles, and a few of them have even achieved the Everest of Sailing few are even able to contemplate: crossing the fearsome Northern West Passage.
Built to access just about anywhere with their retractable keel and twin rudder for perfect balance should you wish to beach the yacht for repairs / maintenance or to tuck away from bad weather, they offer a versatility that most people only dream about. They are built of top quality aluminium and in a careful way to keep them safe from galvanic action thanks to their state of the art electrics set-up. Their hull is insulated, keeping you quiet, warm or cool, which makes them perfect for exploring the tropics or the higher latitudes. A Garcia is not a production yacht, built to a price point and to be sold by the hundreds to un-discerning crowds. They are all carefully designed and assembled, taking into consideration the wishes of the owner and it's planned destinations. They are yachts for the real sailor and adventurer who put safety and sea-keeping ability first, but still wish to enjoy a comfortable home well-suited to long distance and extended time on board and the independence they crave.
