Journalists from all over Europe took up the invitation of Garcia Yachting<\/em> to visit, review and test the first Exploration 45<\/em>, a revolutionary long distance cruising yacht conceived by experienced sailor Jimmy Cornell and described by him as a \u201cboat for all seas and all seasons<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The innovative Exploration 45<\/em> is the result of a close cooperation between Jimmy Cornell, leading French naval architect Olivier Racoupeau, and Stephan Constance, the president of Le Grand Large Yachting<\/em>, which includes the Garcia brand. Without exception, the new Aventura<\/em> was deemed a great success by all those journalists who visited her.<\/p>\n

Aventura\u2019s<\/em> maiden voyage will start on 24 May with a first leg from Cherbourg to London. After a naming ceremony to be held at the Cruising Association<\/em> in Limehouse Basin, and final preparations, on 31 May Aventura<\/em> will be the first of the Blue Planet Odyssey<\/a> participants to start in this global event, which aims to raise awareness of climate change and its consequences.\u00a0 After a brief stop at Stromness in the Orkney Islands, Aventura<\/em> will set off on her first long offshore passage bound for Greenland.<\/p>\n
