XBOAT ref :6236.

An exceptional sailboat, built for the high seas



I own an aluminum monohull of 16.80 meters, with a beam of 4.95 meters. This used boat was designed to sail even in polar regions, and it even participated in an Antarctic expedition in 2012. It embodies the robustness and safety characteristic of the Garcia shipyard.



Modernization and equipment



A rigid tarp was added in 2024 to improve comfort and protection against the elements. In 2019, the boat was thoroughly refurbished, and in 2024, it was modernized again for a total of over €350,000 in work. Today, it is presented as an exceptional sailboat, very well equipped, reliable and comfortable.
