Our Gib'Sea 126 'Pegasus' is looking for a new owner. We've had a lot of fun with her over the last 12 years, but now it's time to hand her over to other sailors. More than 7 years ago we left the Netherlands to sail the world's oceans (and we still do). The 'Pegasus' is currently in Curaçao, the ideal place to start a sailing adventure.
The 'Pegasus' is a very decent lady, although she is from 1985. She has sailed all oceans and you can therefore speak of a wide experience. A true liveaboard boat equipped with all kinds of extra gear. What she needs is a new owner who will give her some TLC (Tender Loving Care).
We're asking $45,000 for our Gib'Sea 126 'Pegasus'.
If you'd like more information or want to be 'Pegasus's new owner please contact us, Fred & Caroline, here...

The boat also has a moderate displacement/length ratio of 257.8, which indicates that it is not too heavy or too light for its size.
