The Gib'Sea 90 Plus, introduced in 1980 by Gibert Marine, stands as a quintessential example of the French performancecruiser evolution during the IOR (International Offshore Rule) era. Designed by the prolific naval architecture firm JoubertNivelt, the 90 Plus was engineered as the highperformance counterpart to the standard Gib'Sea 90. While the standard model catered to the burgeoning family cruising market, the "Plus" designation signaled a yacht optimized for club racing and the 3/4 Tonner circuit. The boat is characterized by its significant beam for its length—a hallmark of JoubertNivelt designs from this period—which was intended to provide both initial stability and substantial interior volume. Built in Marans, France, the hull features a solid fiberglass laminate, while the deck utilizes a balsacore sandwich construction to save weight aloft.
