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.
