Marketing Description
The 1981 Westerly GK 29 is a well-regarded British-built sailing yacht known for its solid construction, seaworthiness, and versatile performance. Designed by Laurent Giles and built by Westerly Marine Construction Ltd, the GK 29 combines the strength and stability typical of Westerly yachts with a more performance-oriented hull, making it suitable for both cruising and club racing.
"Gaelic Kin" is a well kept example that has been continually upgraded and refurbished and is offered for sale in good condition. The owners have cruised extensively on the South Coast and have found her comfortable and safe in all weathers.
Berth at Weymouth Marina is available for the new owner to continue.
