What this video covers

A 68-foot aluminum expedition sailboat built in Brazil, the Global Exp 68, is presented at the Cannes boat show with a asking price of 3.3 million euros plus VAT.2:14 Four hulls have been built; three remain in Brazil and this one is the European example.2:06 The boat features a fully enclosed, raised cockpit designed for sailing in heavy weather while maintaining comfort, with a forward helm station offering panoramic visibility.Watch The raised interior structure also maximizes usable volume beneath the seating, delivering the effective space of a larger vessel — four large cabins, a big saloon, and extensive technical systems.0:56 The hull is aluminum but finished to a high standard through extensive fairing, filling, and painting, making the material invisible.0:49 A swing keel retracts flush under the hull for shallow-water access; ballast sits in the keel blade rather than in the hull, which the presenter says improves sailing performance compared to typical long-distance cruising boats that carry ballast in the hull.0:57
