Hello
I am selling my Gibsea 31 named Tarka 2. It is a family cruising sailboat from 1981, well known for its solidity, comfort, and ease of handling. Ideal for coastal sailing or multi-day cruises. Built by Gibert Marine shipyard, this fixed-keel sailboat, masthead sloop rig, designed by naval architects Joubert & Nivelt, is 9.55 m long. Production started in 1979 and ended in 1984. A total of 239 boats were built. Tarka 2 has been part of the large family of the Yacht Club du Pays de Saint-Brieuc for more than 10 years YCPSB
