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 was sold with various keel options and is one of the smallest cruisers to have a practical separate double aft cabin.

Gibsea 76

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.

Gibsea 76

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.
