When the going gets rough

Once in a while a boat comes along that is so different it’s worth makning a fuss about. A case in point was the Westerly GK35. Not only have they re-introduced the Westerly name in to the yachting market, but they’ve done it in such an eye-catching way. The Ed Dubois 35 footer has a carbon fibre hull and silver deck, but it doesn’t end there. The interior is smart, clean and stylish. the qualities usually reserved for Italian sports cruisers. Because she’s carbon fibre, she’s light and fast. In a blow she really sends the spray flying!
