This Westerly GK29 is exceptionally clean and very well maintained. It is a great family cruiser/ competitive racer, with 6 berths and good standing headroom. There is a roller furling headsail, mainsail with lazy jacks and all lines lead aft to the cockpit so it makes for easy shorthand sailing! There is a 2021 survey available and it has just had new anti-foul and anodes replaced.
