New to the fleet for 2023, with her sleek elegant lines and modern hull shape G K T sails fast and is also perfect for relaxed and easy cruising. She handles well under power and is very manoeuvrable with her Yanmar 45HP saildrive engine, fixed 3 bladed propeller and Quick bowthruster.

With an in-mast furling mainsail and large furling headsail, G K T is manageable and fun when sailing shorthanded or with a full crew of 8 on board. On deck, all sail controls lead back to the cockpit allowing adjustments to be carried out from the safety of the cockpit and shelter of the good-sized sprayhood. The cockpit has twin wheel steering, plenty of seating and a good-sized cockpit table for eating al-fresco. All the navigation equipment you could need is provided with a centrally mounted Raymarine Axiom chart plotter at the helm and Raymarine i70 instrumentation providing depth, speed wind, AIS and GPS location information. G&T is also fitted with a Raymarine p70 autopilot.

Below decks she has a spacious bright saloon and light wood interior with lots of ports and hatches which allow light and fresh air to circulate the cabins. Sleeping up to 8 crew, the accommodation on G K T consists of two double aft cabins and one double V-shaped cabin at the bow, all with ample storage. There is also a double berth conversion in the main saloon. There are 2 heads one port aft head and one ensuite head off the forward cabin - both heads have shower facilities and plenty of room for hanging wet gear after a great day’s sailing. When it comes to cooking and food preparation, the well set-out galley is fully equipped with pots, pans and utensils as well as a two-burner cooker and grill and top/side loading fridge and ice box. A flat screen television and a stereo sound system with radio and bluetooth connections make sure that you will be entertained when relaxing after a day sailing. All cabins and the saloon area also have cosy central heating.

When taking a break from sailing, an electric windlass simplifies anchoring allowing you to enjoy the freedom of remote locations without too much effort. The fold down swim platform at the transom allows easy access from the pontoon or tender. G K T even has an outdoor shower for washing the salt off after a swim if you are brave enough! A tender with 2.3 HP outboard engine is provided which makes commuting ashore a breeze, or for those who wish to work for their supper oars are also provided.

Overall, G K T is a sleek, spacious modern yacht that ticks all the boxes required to enjoy an amazing sailing holiday in Scotland for crews of 2-8 people.
