For sale: a stunning 2008 GY 53 by Gieffe Yachts, a true gem combining elegance and performance. This cruiser-racer captivates with its striking lines, designed to offer both speed and optimal comfort. Fully refurbished in 2016, this boat has undergone a complete refit, incorporating numerous major improvements that ensure its excellent current condition.
Among the many renovations are a thorough rigging overhaul, installation of the latest Raymarine electronics, a new TV and stereo system, as well as new mast, boom, and spreaders. Most electrical systems have been replaced or renewed, while the Yanmar engine and saildrive have been fully serviced. This sailboat is thus perfectly equipped, both inside and out, for peaceful sailing.
### Refined and functional interior
The interior, refurbished in 2016, offers a warm and well-thought-out space. To port, a welcoming chart area with table and two opposite chairs invites route planning. The dining area, featuring a large C-shaped sofa, provides convivial moments onboard. The modern, fully equipped galley includes a sink, refrigerator, microwave, combi oven, and cooktop.
The sailboat has three comfortable cabins: two guest cabins with single berths on the floor, and a spacious forward owner’s cabin with a peninsula bed and private bathroom. Additionally, two bathrooms complete the layout, with provision for a crew cabin in the bow.
### Modern instrumentation and equipment
The GY 53 features high-end instrumentation, newly installed in 2016: Raymarine C90W GPS, Raymarine Eco sounder, electric furling headstay, CD radio, LCD TV, and complete TV system. Comfort is enhanced by electric toilets, an electro-hydraulic bathing platform, an electric winch in the cockpit, a hot water boiler, a shore battery charger, and an electric windlass.
For easier navigation, this sailboat is equipped with a bow thruster, autopilot, wind station, and Raymarine VHF, all new since 2016.
### Impeccable rigging and exterior
