Broker's Comments
Gilbert Marine was founded in France in 1972, GibSea at the time being one of the lines they built. As Gibsea 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 Gibsea 96 was a well-thought-out design, built between 1984-87 with the premise of a boat that would sail well but have the volume below to accommodate family or crew in comfort. She retains a traditional layout but makes use of all available space with good sized cabins and plenty of storage throughout.
Having been in the same ownership for the last 12 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. She's recently back in the water after antifoul and anodes and appears well-equipped to suit shorthanded or family cruising.
