Steve has owned “Gamaldansk” for the past five years and has used her for cruising in his home waters in the South West with an occasional race for fun. She is described as a cruiser / racer although in her current life leans more towards easy cruising than flat out racing due to the weight of home comforts aboard.

She has been well maintained during her life so far, and at the time of writing she is ashore in Fowey for a refit. This will include new rigging, osmosis treatment below the waterline and a myriad of small jobs.

Steve hopes to be able to fit a GPS chart plotter and upgraded sound system before the summer voyage. For more information about the GK29 please visit the GK29 website.
