Marine Composite Gazelle Croisière (barco à vela) - Venda

Gazelle Croisière #247 – 2012 – The Modern Heir to the Guépard!
A unique sailboat blending tradition and innovation

Are you looking for a lightweight, maneuverable, and versatile sailboat, perfect for coastal cruising, family outings, or friendly regattas? This Gazelle Croisière, built by Marine Composite in 2012, is the direct descendant of the legendary Guépard (1962), modernized in composite for minimal maintenance and optimal performance.

Why this boat?
Timeless design: Inspired by the Guépard, this sailboat retains the elegance of houari lines while offering the durability of a sandwich honeycomb polyester hull (vacuum-infused for a lightweight, warp-resistant build).
Unmatched versatility: Ideal for regattas (one-design racing in the Gulf of Morbihan), day sailing, or light cruising (cabin with 2 berths).
Easy maintenance: Unlike the wooden Guépard, this composite Gazelle requires no caulking or varnishing—just annual polishing and waxing (like new!).
