This Gibert Marine GibSea 402 from 1987 is a classic-lined sailboat with a round bilge hull made of polyester, built for space and seaworthy comfort. With a length of 12.00 meters, a beam of 4.00 meters, and a draft of 2.00 meters, she is a serious presence in the harbor and an attractive base for those dreaming of their own sailboat with character. The boat has been used at sea for pleasure and holidays, which is reflected in its layout and equipment.

She has been on land since 2020. The last antifouling treatment was in 2014, indicating that a new treatment of the underwater hull is planned before she returns to the water for an extended period. Documentation is available in the form of a Schiffszertifikat, and she is registered in the Seeschiffsregister Rostock under number 3519. Gibert Marine GibSea 402 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. What kind of sailboat is the GibSea 402? The GibSea 402 is a spacious sailboat known for its practical layout and comfortable living space on board. With six fixed berths, it is suitable for families or for longer trips with friends. Its round bilge hull contributes to a pleasant volume inside and a stable impression on the water. Steering is done with a wheel from the cockpit, with a single rudder. This type of sailboat is often sought after by those looking to buy a 12-meter sailboat with enough space for vacations, longer trips, and onboard stays. How is the interior and what is on board? Inside, you will find amenities suitable for a cruising sailboat: a shower, refrigerator, and oven are present, which can make life on board comfortable once everything is in order. The water tank has a capacity of approximately 360 liters, and the holding tank about 65 liters. The toilet is manual, and the discharge goes directly into open water, something to consider depending on the sailing area and personal preference. The client indicates that the interior, especially the woodwork inside and outside, requires a lot of work. Those who enjoy renovating a cabin sailboat can determine their own style and level of finish here. What is known about the engine and technology? The boat has a Yanmar 4JHE 45 hp inboard diesel engine from 1987, with approximately 7800 operating hours. The operation of the engine is unknown, meaning a buyer should consider inspection and possible repairs before she can sail worry-free again. The diesel tank has a capacity of approximately 130 liters. Onboard, there are a tachometer and an electric bilge pump. Electrically, she is equipped with a battery charger, inverter, and solar panel, and there are four batteries on board. This makes her interesting for those who want to build up energy supply while at anchor or in calm bays, although checking the system on a boat that has been on land for an extended period is always wise. What navigation and deck equipment do you get? For a sailboat in this class, the navigation equipment is remarkably complete. It includes an autopilot, depth sounder, GPS, chart plotter, compass, log and speedometer, VHF radio, radar, and wind gauge. This makes her attractive for those looking for a sailboat with radar and autopilot, provided everything functions and is checked where necessary. Outside, there is a bimini, pulpit and pushpit, and lifelines. There are two anchors with chain and an electric windlass, making anchoring and maneuvering easier once she is ready to sail again. There is also a dinghy with an outboard motor, a Mercury 2.5, handy for the final meters to shore. What is the condition of the sails and rigging? She has one aluminum mast and two sails: a genoa and a mainsail. The condition of the sails is reportedly poor, indicating that replacement or repair is likely to be part of the project. The headsail has a furling system, a Facnot TI 150, which is convenient for reefing and adjusting sail area. For buyers looking for a sailboat project, this is an important point to consider in the budget and planning. What work is known and what should you expect? Known areas needing attention include a lot of work on the wood, both inside and outside, work on the day tank, and replacing seals in the autopilot linear drive. These are specific indications that a buyer can immediately address. Since she has been on land since 2020 and the antifouling was applied a while ago, it is advisable to gradually rebuild her technically and cosmetically. For those looking for a GibSea 402 for sale as a fixer-upper, this boat offers size, equipment, and potential, but also comes with a clear to-do list. This Gibert Marine GibSea 402 is waiting for someone who wants to make her shine and sail again. She offers space, a mature appearance, and a base that, with effort and attention, can evolve into a fine sailboat for vacations and trips on open water.
