Gk 24 westerly
9 / 42 - score 58%
The Gk 24 westerly is a 24.0ft masthead sloop designed by Laurent Giles / Chris Hawkins and built in fiberglass by Westerly Marine Construction Ltd. between 1976 and 1981.
320 units have been built.
The Gk 24 westerly is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
