Description

The Gib'Sea 282 with lifting keel is a superb blend of performance, practicality and cruising comfort — a true hidden gem in the 28-foot class.

The 282 offers lively sailing manners with reassuring stability. The lifting keel version is especially desirable, giving you shallow-water access to creeks, drying harbours and economical berths, while still delivering excellent windward ability when lowered.

Below deck, she surprises with genuine six-berth accommodation, a proper aft cabin, separate heads and a practical galley — ideal for family cruising or extended weekends aboard. Light, well-balanced and easy to handle short-handed, she’s equally at home coastal cruising or club racing.

Strong build quality, simple systems and affordable running costs make the 282 a smart entry into yacht ownership.

A versatile, capable and characterful cruiser — ready for new adventures.
