About 'Karic'
Karic is a 31' or 10m long Westerly Renown ketch - a ketch means there are two masts, so three sets of sails for people to learn how to use. She has berths for six people to sleep in three cabins, with room for everyone to sit and eat round the table in the main cabin. The berths are all over 6 feet long and the main cabin has 6'4" headroom. The galley (kitchen) is always well stocked with tasty food to satisfy the appetite that sailing brings on! There is also roomy heads (toilet/washroom) onboard.
Designed for family cruising, Karic is a safe, sturdy boat. There is a centre cockpit with room for a crew of six to sit in comfort.
