MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS:
The motivation of engineers Damien Chaves and Manoel Chaves, two generations of sailors passionate about the sea, is the creation of a sustainable yacht concept that can provide comfort and safety for navigation in all the seas of the planet.
The Global Exp 68 brings it all together: the comfort, sophistication, and safety of an MCP Yacht with the spirit of adventurous sailors.
The naval aluminium hull (5083 H116 alloy – material certified by Lloyd’s Register of London) is extremely lightweight and robust, infinitely durable, non-flammable, does not absorb water, and has up to 10 times the rigidity of a fiberglass hull of the same weight. Intelligent joinery, with low-density composite material structures, ensures lightness and contributes to the high performance of this super sailboat.
Impeccably built to go the extra mile, the Global EXP 68 is the undisputed leader in the cruising sailboat category (in Brazil and worldwide) in terms of high performance, water and oil storage capacity, number and volume of cabins, and the weight/rigidity ratio of its aluminium hull.
The best-rated accessories and equipment on the international market, brought together in a genuinely Brazilian project, impeccably designed by the MCP Yachts technical team.
YACHTING PRESS REVIEWS:
A luxury yacht meets a rugged trawler-style motorsailer, all wrapped in a purposeful explorer look in this MCP 68 from Brazil. Hull numbers two and three are being delivered this year and the fourth is in build.
The family run yard, headed up by Damien and Manoel Chaves, has been building aluminium sail and motor yachts for over four decades, “which are sailing the world from south high latitudes (Ushuaia and Antarctica) to the warm and shallow anchorages of the Brazilian coast and the Mediterranean seas,” says Damien.
The MCP 68 is built with an aluminium hull and a low density composite superstructure to keep weight down. The modern design with beam carried right aft helps create a powerful hull, while also creating room to house a large tender garage at the stern.
The prominent arch may look like a spoiler from a 1990s rally car, but incorporates a hydraulic crane to lift the dinghy. A hydraulically-powered retractable mechanism swings the keel and allows it to act as a shock absorber to lift in case of impact. It’s designed to take up minimal space, yet provide a shallow draught of under 2m.
A key feature is the full protection provided by the solid superstructure for the large centre cockpit, deck saloon and pilothouse. This leaves accommodation and engineering within the hull. As well as the forward and/or aft king size double master staterooms, guest double cabins also have good privacy, accessed each side via their own companionways amidships.
Watertight alloy bulkheads surround a walk-in engine room with standing headroom, and there’s the type of ventilated electronic technical area you’re more likely to find on a superyacht.
