Go Krazi

The photographs demonstrate that she is of a very different keel design to the standard G.K. The Keel is secured to the hull over a very large footprint with eight stainless steel bolts...four on each side of the keel...we have not seen this on any other G.K. 24. The deck is of glassed plywood and the cockpit is formed around a simple well giving great space and comfort. The sheet winches are all dated 1976,but we have been unable to find a hull number Also her rig, as you can see, is mast head with two sets of spreaders and we have never seen the same lever type back stay tensioner on any other G.K and indeed on any other yacht at all! Engine: We removed a Dolphin two cylinder 2 stroke - which had seized and now use a 3.3 hp long shaft Mercury outboard and it pushes her along well - only in a mild conditions though. We bought her "for a song" in 2003 after watching her sit in a boatyard with a for sale sign for 18 months whilst her owners enjoyed their new yacht. Interestingly, the previous owners now look enviously at a much improved Go Krazi and confirm she was the better boat. Someone in the past spent a great deal of money and time developing this boat and we have found a faint Chichester sticker onboard and would love to know the history. - Dawn and Anthony
