The Gib'Sea 76 was designed for Gibert Marine
by Groupe Graal, and was offered with fin, twin keel or drop
keel options. The lift keel version has a centreplate within a fixed shallow stub keel, meaning that she will not dry out level except in soft mud. The plan at left shows the bilge keel version.
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.
