    This is " Forethought of Gosport" a Westerly GK24 class cruiser/racer named by the previous owner.
    I bought her in 1996 for £6250 . Built in 1979. 24 feet long 9 feet wide and 5 foot draught. Weighs about the same as a T2. Flat out does 5 knots except falling off waves at 10 knots.. About 300sq foot of sail and a 7hp diesel.
