The Gib’Sea 262, introduced in the late 1980s and designed by the esteemed naval architects Michel Joubert and Bernard Nivelt, stands as a quintessential example of the French "pocket cruiser" philosophy. Developed by Gibert Marine before its eventual integration into Dufour, the 262 was engineered to maximize interior volume and coastal capability within a hull length of just over 25 feet. Characterized by its generous beam and relatively high topsides, the model was offered with both a fixed fin keel and a lifting keel (swing keel) version, the latter catering to sailors in tidal regions or those seeking to explore shallow estuaries. The boat succeeded the earlier Gib’Sea 26, offering a modernized deck layout and an improved sugarscoop transom that became a hallmark of the era’s cruising designs.
