DUFOUR-GIBSEA 43 BEHAPPY
MANY AWARDS FOR THE BEST PRODUCTION BOAT
Gib Sea 43 has been awarded the Cruising Worlds Boat of the Year Award for Best Production Boat under $200,000 for the year 2001. This did not happen accidentally as the Dufour Gib Sea series was designed and developed after extensive consultation with boat buyers and users around the world. Uncluttered space, light and airy interiors finished in fine teak, volume and more volume, superior headroom throughout, defined and accessible vital technical access, along with superb engine access are built into the Gib Sea models.
Gib Sea 43 was designed by Olivier Poncin and J & J design, and shares the distinctive styling of several other models, including the Gib’Sea 33, 37, 41 and 51 ft models. These boats all share the delphiniere – a dolphin nose shaped mini-bowsprit that continues the deck line outboard to house a self-stowing anchor.
