GibSea 43

The Gibsea 43 was introduced to our charter fleet in April 2001 and has since proved herself to be an able and well liked yacht. She is outwardly of striking appearance, with a fairly low coach roof, large cockpit with 2 wheels and a dark red spray hood and sail cover.

The masthead rig with a roller furling jib and a slab reefed main with lazy jacks and zippered stowage bag, can be easily managed by a small crew. Anchoring is aided by an electric anchor windlass. Like all Portway yachts, she has a good spray hood and - a rare thing in Scotland - a Bimini.

The accommodation is flexible in that the forecabin can be used as a spacious en-suite with double berth and seating or can be divided allowing the seating area to become a separate cabin with 2 bunks.

She has 2 separate double cabins aft which means that without utilising the saloon she can sleep 8. The saloon has a large dinette to starboard and to port the spacious galley and the second toilet. To starboard is also the chart table and navigation area with the usual instruments including GPS and Navtex. Central heating by hot air has been installed.

The engine is a Volvo Penta giving 50hp by conventional shaft drive allowing up to 8 knots under power.

The Gibsea 43 is offered for skippered charter only.
