Giddy Kipper has been loved and upgraded by us for the last 7 years. We purchased her direct from the original owner and she has received many upgrades and improvements and is ready to sail away. She is safe and seaworthy, being maintained regularly by a marine engineer. She sleeps 6, however for comfortable cruising would be better suited to a couple. Inside she allows for standing headroom right through to the V berth.
The GK29 is easily managed single handed with all lines leading back to the cockpit. She is described as a racer/cruiser and is very capable and provides lots of fun.
