Westerly GK24 - Amazing condition & sailing performance

This little gem of a boat is likely to impress any sailor looking for a very well maintained, neat and lovely racer / cruiser.
She is in a outstanding condition ready to step in, turn the key, hoisting the sails and go cruising in the enchanting Tasmanian waters.

Pania has been built with an enormous amount of skills and care by Gary Smedley. The attention to detail and love this boat has received is stunning. The very well fitted wooden interior would charm any aficionado of master craftsmanship while the sailing performance is guaranteed to seduce all local twilight racers and beyond. Her seaworthy design will ensure you can step up as a beginner sailor safely. Meanwhile, the "GK24", can still surprise other competitors as "GK" stand for "Giant Killer" to illustrate her capability to win over much bigger yachts. As a cruiser or taking the family for a holiday or a weekend, you will experience a real sense of being in a safe, dry and warm home at sea with her big volumes, well fitted galley, spacious forward berth and snug wooden interiors.

Stepping on deck, her sailing aptitudes and responsiveness are clearly apparent as she feels light under the feet and well balanced. The cockpit is well setup for single handling with two primary self tailing Andersen winches and two secondary Barient winches. All lines come back to the cockpit and the mainsheet is easily managed forward. The composite tiller steered rudder feels balanced and light to handle.

Inside, she sports four berths including a large three quarter V-berth in the bow, a convertible settee in the mid-ship cabin and two generous single berths aft. The galley situated to port offers a metho stove, stainless steel sink and plenty of ergonomic, cleverly fitted cabinets.

A low hours, new looking Bukh Diesel Engine fitted in 2013 provides a reliable 5 knts cruising speed. Yachts in this condition and with these capabilities do not come often in this market and she is more than likely to be with a new family by Christmas to enjoy an excellent time cruising around the islands.
