OWNER'S COMMENTS

Giselle was acquired by my father in 1999 and spent 7 years completely overhauling her hull, decks, interior and equipment before being relaunched in 2006.

We sailed Giselle around Ireland in 2008 and then around the Western Isles of Scotland in 2009, having many memorable moments aboard. Since 2012 she has been based in the Solent.

In 2015 we refurbished the hull and deck at Berthons, Lymington and gave her the duck-egg blue paint scheme she has now.
