Rig

Sloop

A modern styled small cruiser from Gib'Sea, before the company was taken over by Dufour. She has an open plan saloon, giving a light and spacious feel to the interior, with a separate double aft cabin and heads compartment. The Gib'Sea 76 is one of the smallest cruisers to have a practical separate double aft cabin. This yacht has had the saloon windows and the interior linings renewed, and is for sale now only because the owners children are rapidly outgrowing the boat.

* The Volvo inboard on this yacht is in need of a rebuild or replacement: it has low compression and is difficult to start from cold, though once started it runs reliably and restarts from warm. This boat has been priced to reflect the condition of the engine.

The Gib'Sea 76 was designed for Gibert Marine by Groupe Graal, and was offered with fin, twin keel or drop keel options. She has quite a sporty appearance, with distinctive smoked perspex "wrap-over" side windows, and has a good sailing performance for her size. The design has an open-plan saloon which makes the most of the interior volume, and manages to fit in a usable aft cabin and separate heads into an overall length of under 27 ft.

The design was built from from around 1984 to 1990, as a replacement for the earlier Gib'Sea 77 model. Engines were either an 8 hp outboard, or a 9 hp Volvo 2001 inboard.

The interior has vee-berths right forward in an open plan saloon, with an extending cushion to extend the berth length over the saloon settees, and a double in an aft cabin. The saloon settees make another two berths, but the boat was originally marketed as a four-berth boat, and to use her for more is not really practical, as the present owners are finding as their children grow.

The Volvo 2001 is in need of reconditioning or replacement. Compression appears low, and it is very reluctant to start from cold without help from a quick spray of "Easystart" or similar aerosol (though once warmed up a little it re-starts without difficulty).

Photographs April 2010

The Gib'Sea 76 is a very practical small cruiser, particularly in this bilge keeled version.
