The Westerly GK 24, where "GK" stands for Grand Knight, represents a pivotal moment in British yacht building when Westerly Marine Construction Ltd—not to be confused with the custom California shop of a similar name—stepped away from its reputation for heavy, bilgekeeled cruisers to embrace the burgeoning IOR (International Offshore Rule) racing scene. Designed by the esteemed firm Laurent Giles & Partners, the GK 24 was introduced in 1975 as a dedicated Quarter Tonner. It was intended to compete with the likes of the Ecume de Mer and the Trapper 300, offering a blend of competitive speed and modest weekend accommodations. Over its production run, which lasted until roughly 1983, approximately 300 units were produced, solidifying its place as one of the most successful entrylevel racercruisers of the era.
