The famous British yachtsman Pete Goss has sailed more than 250000 nautical miles at sea. Pete Goss became a hero in the 1996 Vendee Globe for rescuing French competitor Raphaël Dinelli. Now that he retired from ocean sailing competitions, this sailing, sea kayaking and polar exploration specialist lives different kind of adventures. Pete and his wife Tracey now spend much time onboard their Garcia Exploration 45 "Pearl of Penzance". Pete guides us during a complete tour of this blue water aluminum centreboarder at the 2019 Annapolis Sailboat Show. Enjoy this complete visit, and don't hesitate to ask for more details

  • The word "Hero" is often overused - Not in this case Pete Goss is the real deal, Pete did not "just" rescue Raphaël Dinelli, in a hurricane in the Southern Ocean he turned his boat around, into the storm, effectively ending his race, to go back and rescue Raphaël. In France he is held in very high esteem, rightly so, he was awarded an MBE and the Legion d'Honneur, his opinions on a good boat deserve the utmost respect. I also recommend Pete's excellent book "Close to the Wind" I have never heard of Garcia Yachts, but I certainly have now because if Pete Goss likes it, that matters in my opinion.

    Never heard of these, but I'm sold. The boat is amazing, but there's also something special about that guy.
  • I am an engineer - this is the type of design I appreciate, smart, safe, reliable.
  • What is needed now is for Pete and Tracey to have their own YT channel so we can share the adventure...
  • 18 knots while sipping tea is quite impressive! Lovely vessel exstreemly well engineered!! Thanks for the tour!⚓
  • Bucket list boat for sure. The rudder design is awesome.

    What a wonderful advocate Peter Goss is for an amazing boat.
  • I was lucky enough to hear Peter deliver a talk some 25 years ago what great bloke. Garcia will make lots of sales as Peter had bought a boat and endorses it.
  • very glad to see such an endorsement of centreboards.. Really is the best of both worlds..except for the additional cost
  • A real boat that puts almost all other boat builders to shame. Great presentation as well. Bravo!
  • Pete has been my hero since the Vendee. When i push off on the Vendee I hope I can be the kind of racer Pete is
  • My dream. But, alas, I'm only an elementary school teacher. The cost of such a beautifully designed boat is something I can barely comprehend.
  • I had a pint with Pete years ago. The cheeky Norwegian sailing lad I was hanging around with at that time said to me "I'm gonna ask Pete for sponsorship to continue sailing etc hes in that pub over there come on." So we went and he did. Pete laughed and opened his wallet pulled out two twenties and gave them to him. Ahh brilliant. Yeh what a bloke.
  • Thank you Pete & Tracey for sharing a glimpse of your beautiful Pearl. She is a remarkable yacht. Kind regards, Gavin & Amanda.

    I really enjoyed meeting you two in Annapolis. I know Tracey doesn't like being on camera, but in life, she is a hoot and loved talking to her. The line to get on your boat that looked bran new was always long so I didn't want to take up to much time. It is my dreamboat and hopefully, I have one soon. You met so many people but I bet I am the only one from Montana. Cheers both you and boat are truly lovely.
  • Wow Pete Goss, remember his book and especially the phrase "Time spent having a cup of tea is rarely wasted". What a great boat and review. Room for guests you say Pete?...
  • WoW, I have just seen THE ULTIMATE boat review. Best 45 out there no doubt about. Congrats Pete, couldn't had chosen a better one, THANKS for showing! (Maybe only a double cockpit table is missing, instead of the single one in center)
  • Producing, filming and editing this piece with Pete and Tracey was a DREAM job on a DREAM boat. This is my first time having a dream boat. It just makes SO much sense.

    Excellent vid. I visited a GE45 in 2018 in La Rochelle, amazing boat. Truly a class of its own.
