The Westerly GK 29 represents a pivotal moment in the history of British boat building, marking a definitive shift for Westerly Marine Construction from heavy-displacement family cruisers toward the burgeoning cruiser-racer market of the late 1970s. Designed by the renowned Jack Laurent Giles, the "GK" designation stood for "Great Quest," a series intended to prove that the company’s reputation for robust build quality could be successfully married to IOR-influenced performance. Produced between 1977 and 1981, with approximately 300 hulls launched, the GK 29 became a staple of the UK club racing scene while maintaining enough volume and stability to serve as a legitimate coastal voyager.
