Dufour Gib Sea 43

GIB'SEA 43 from 2002
Well equipped sailing boat for offshore navigation, this model offers 3/4 modular cabins, including a convertible owner's cabin, and 2 bathrooms (chemical and electric WC). Powered by a Volvo Penta MD22 (injectors and pump revised in 2019, new starter in 2024), it is ready for adventure. The navigation electronics include a VHF ASN, a Furuno plotter, a hydraulic Raymarine autopilot, and solar panels (3x140W) connected to an Aerogen 4 wind turbine for increased autonomy. The standing rigging was replaced in 2019, with sails recently revised (genoese from 2020 and main sail revised in 2021).

Generous tanks: 600L of water and 250L of diesel, ideal for long crossings. Onboard comfort is optimized with a large electric drain refrigerator, a kitchen equipped with an oven and gas stoves, as well as a windlass revised in 2024 to facilitate maneuvers. This sailing boat also features an Alpine sound system with 4 speakers (interior and cockpit) and extensive energy capacity thanks to new AGM batteries (2023 for services, 2024 for the engine). Finally, a Bigship dinghy from 2021 and complete safety equipment, such as 8 life jackets and an Epirb beacon, make it a boat ready to sail safely.
