Overview
About this vessel
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. A unique sailboat blending tradition and innovation, it is ideal for coastal cruising, family outings, or friendly regattas.
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). Unlike the wooden Guépard, this composite Gazelle requires no caulking or varnishing—just annual polishing and waxing.
The boat features a self-bailing cockpit and a cabin with 2 berths and mattresses. The mainsail cover is by North Sails (2025, beige) and the standing rigging was fully replaced in 2024 (shrouds, stays, halyards). Antifouling was newly applied in March 2026. The engine, a Suzuki 4-stroke 2.5 HP, has very low hours and was professionally serviced in March 2026.
A road trailer is included (inspected and maintained). The boat comes with 3 fenders and mooring lines, wind indicator, anchor with 5 m chain, and a wooden oar with rowlock.
