About the GIB'SEA 364
Std./Charter and Owners versions.The last model from from this builder before being absorbed by the Dufour brand.
The Gib'Sea 364 is a robust cruising sloop designed by Joubert/Nivelt and built by Gilbert Marine (FRA) in 1995. With a displacement of 12787.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 22.4, 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 heavy-duty construction over rapid acceleration. Its substantial 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 2.02 and a high displacement-to-length ratio of 182.64, the Gib'Sea 364 demonstrates excellent offshore stability and resistance to capsizing in heavy weather.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 36 and the Tartan 36, which share similar displacement ranges and heavy-displacement cruising philosophies from the same era. These boats are comparable due to their focus on structural integrity and offshore capability rather than racing performance.
