Exploration 45

It's been a long time since my last post but summer is a very busy time for the Morgan family.  Sailing takes precedent over everything!  We had a small issue with our current boat, a Shannon 43 Ketch, which required much of my time recently.  Seems the yard forgot to shrinkwrap it over the winter and we suffered a wee bit of water damage.  More on that later.  The good news is we have confirmed our build slot with the yard for our new Gracia Exploration 45.  This is the custom Allure 45 that I eluded to in earlier posts.  We'll be busy for the next year planning the build and with project management.  The crew at Garcia/Allure is very tech savvy and post pictures of the build on an almost daily basis.  Much easier option than having to be over in France!  We're still very excited about how the boat has been modified for the "expedition style" of cruising.  If you click on the link above, and go to the downloads section, you can see the various configurations available.  We're going with the Jimmy Cornell version as we hope to have a full crew for most of the time.

Anyone interested in a Shannon 43 Ketch?  In the middle of a total refit, should come out just like new!!!
