Description

This 1979 Westerly GK24 is a classic British-built pocket cruiser, offering the perfect blend of simplicity, seaworthiness, and coastal cruising versatility. Designed by Gordon K. (GK) and built to Westerly’s renowned standards, she is celebrated for her solid construction, easy handling, and shallow draft, making her ideal for exploring the UK’s estuaries, rivers, and coastal waters. Despite her compact 24-foot length, the GK24 is a capable and comfortable cruiser, with a practical interior layout that provides up to five berths, a functional galley, and an enclosed heads — all thoughtfully arranged to maximise space and comfort for weekend escapes or short coastal adventures.
