Description

Gilbert Marine was founded in France in 1972, Gib’sea at the time being one of the lines they built. As Gib’sea yachts became more and more popular they became a brand in their own right and were later taken over by Dufour Yachts in 1998.

The Gib’sea 77 was a well-thought-out design, built between 1980-84 recognized as a lively, easy-to-handle coastal cruiser—ideal for family day sails or short coastal trips with the premise of a boat that would sail well but have the volume below to accommodate family. It has lightweight fittings, well-suited for coastal cruising.

Having been in the same ownership for the last 3 years, there has been a regular schedule of maintenance and care, and she presents well, clean and clear on deck and fresh and bright below for her age, though due to being abroad, was not sailed last season. She's on hard at Bucklers Hard Marina, Beaulieu, waiting to be cleaned and antifouled so very easy to view. She is a well-equipped for solo sailing or family cruising, with a simple to operate auto-pilot drive unit.
