About the GIB'SEA 362
Keel/CB version available with twin rudders.
The Gib'Sea 362 is a robust cruising sloop designed by Joubert/Nivelt and built by Gilbert Marine (FRA) in 1995. With a displacement of 11500.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 21.1, this vessel is engineered for stability and seakeeping rather than high-speed planing.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize a comfortable motion and structural integrity over rapid acceleration. Its heavy displacement and fin keel make it a strong candidate for bluewater passages where safety and stability are paramount.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.04 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 167.42, the Gib'Sea 362 demonstrates excellent offshore suitability and resistance to capsizing in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 362 and the Beneteau 36, which share similar displacement and cruising-oriented hull forms from the mid-1990s. These boats offer similar interior volumes and offshore capabilities, though the Gib'Sea distinguishes itself with its specific Joubert/Nivelt design lineage.
