Garcia Passoa 50 ''Bonaire'', built in 2001 by Garcia S.A. France, design by Philippe Harle.

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 when the owners and their children 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."
