Description
Gib Sea 37 Ketch ? ?Philou? (1976)
The Gib Sea 37 Ketch ?Philou? is a classic and seaworthy cruising yacht designed by Michel Joubert. This solidly built fiberglass sailing yacht is known for its reliable sailing characteristics, comfortable cockpit, and practical ketch rig. Thanks to the sail plan distribution, the vessel is easy to trim and pleasant to sail, even with a small crew.
With a length of 11.70 m and a beam of 3.80 m, Philou offers a spacious and functional interior. The yacht features two cabins and 5 fixed berths (up to 7) and a headroom of approximately 1.80 m in the saloon. The galley was modernized in 2017, and the interior received an earlier upgrade in 2002. Heating via an Eberspächer D4 ensures comfort on board even in early spring and late autumn.
The Yanmar 4JH3 diesel engine (2002) delivers approximately 40 hp and has around 1,650 engine hours. Major engine maintenance was carried out in 2021. In the same year, new Ullman Navigator Dacron sails were installed (mainsail, mizzen, and genoa). The rigging was inspected in 2022. Navigation equipment includes Raymarine instruments (depth, wind, and autopilot) and a Furuno GPS.
the vessel has remained within the same family since the mid-1990s and was passed from father to son in 2021. Over the decades, the yacht has made several voyages across the North Sea to Belgium, France, and England, and was recently used on the Grevelingen and Oosterschelde. This underlines the seaworthy reputation of this type of vessel.
