Southerly 42 and Southerly 48

This historic brand has a legacy deeply rooted in Southampton, UK and continues to deliver world-class and highly sought after yachts. With our signature lifting keel technology, we offer not only unparalleled performance but also the versatility to explore even the most secluded of waters. Join our esteemed Southerly owners and experience the epitome of luxury sailing without limits.

DEEP DRAFT PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

A key benefit of the variable draft keel is not only shallow draft opportunities but also enhanced performance from a deep high aspect ratio keel when fully lowered.

In practise, the boat is stiffer as a result of the improved righting moment, therefore carrying her sail better than other yachts and carving her way efficiently to windward in a seaway. The keel’s aerofoil shaped cross section, with weight concentrated at the tip, is optimised for sailing to windward, allowing you to point as high as 30° apparent with minimal leeway.

The variable keel geometry allows the keel to be set at any position between fully raised and lowered, enabling the keel to be set and optimised according to your point of sail.

An example of this is having the keel fully raised when sailing downwind.

EXPLORE WHERE OTHERS CANNOT

Southerly’s trade mark variable draft keel enables the draft to be reduced to as little as 0.84m (3 feet). The opportunities are endless for accessing and exploring remote anchorages, harbours and inland waterways worldwide, without the draft restrictions imposed on other yachts.

Shallow draft capabilities can save precious time when entering or leaving locked marinas or even crossing a shallow bar in some harbour entrances. When approaching shallow waters, the keel can simply be raised to avoid grounding, and killing time for a safe height of tide.

History of Southerly

Founded in 1973, Southerly is a prominent British yacht maker known for its superior build quality, safety and performance.

Step aboard a yacht and the finer details are evident on a Southerly Yacht. The cockpit seating is deep and sculpted to ensure comfort and support. Hand-holds are just where you want them, and the excellence of craftsmanship is evident at every turn. Everything has been carefully considered. There are even wonderful ‘dolphin watching’ seats forward, as well as seats on the aft deck that are perfect for a sundowner.

What makes these yachts so special is the light-filled raised saloon. Welcoming and spacious, the raised saloon is great for entertaining or just relaxing. Enjoy the scenery in comfort and style through the large eye-level windows.

The ergonomic and innovative galley will appeal to the most demanding of chefs, with its generous work surfaces, cavernous fridge and freezer as well as ample storage that makes life a pleasure on longer cruises. Spacious and luxurious, the owner’s cabin has a king-sized centreline double bed, whilst the en-suite comes complete with a heated towel rail. The combination of the hand – crafted joinery (which is a work of art in itself) and the meticulous attention to detail set these yachts apart. The interior not only looks good in harbour, it is also functional and comfortable at sea.

Shallow draft capabilities can save precious time when entering or leaving locked marinas or even crossing a shallow bar in some harbor entrances. When approaching shallow waters, the keel can simply be raised to avoid grounding, and killing time for a safe height of tide.

The Southerly swing keel system opens up a world of possibilities denied to most yachts. Today, there are over 1,100 Southerly Owners worldwide who can testify to the remarkable versatility of the Variable Draft Keel system (swing keel) which fulfils most people’s idea of the perfect yacht: Learn More

First look: Southerly 42 – bluewater beauty

  • Theo Stocker
  • October 25, 2021

Theo Stocker casts his expert eye over the Southerly 42, offering bluewater luxury in a yacht with a minimum draught of just 84cm

southerly 8 yacht

There are few high-end bluewater cruising yachts that can boast a draught of just 84cm (3ft). While this increases to 2.7m (8ft 11in) while sailing, the trademark swing keel of the Southerly 42 means this boat will be able to access anchorages and creeks that most other boats of this size simply can’t get near.

What’s more, the iron grounding plate (doubles as ballast), twin rudders and skeg-protected prop all mean the Southerly 42 can take the ground and dry out. Whether in the Isles of Scilly or the Bahamas, that’s an appealing proposition.

southerly 8 yacht

The aft cabin on the Discovery 42

Her makers claim that her sailing performance will still sparkle, with a tall fractional rig – 18.5m (60ft 7 in) air draught – and the additional draft helping her point at 30º to the apparent wind. Her polars suggest she’ll nudge 8.5 knots on a white sail reach in 20 knots of breeze. She comes with a self-tacking jib as standard, with sheet controls for both sails led aft to the helm, while halyard are on the coachroof. A furling offwind sail can be set from the fixed bowsprit.

The other key Southerly trait is the raised saloon to port, at the bottom of the companionway, with a lower-level galley to starboard, meaning you can sit inside and enjoy 270º views. Unusually the chart table-cun/workstationg is against the forward bulkhead, level with the mast. For this size boat, the aft master cabin is huge with a full-size island double bed and ensuite heads. The guest cabin forward, also ensuite, is generous too.

The hull is built of vinylester GRP, and reuses the Humphreys hull of the Southerly 42RST, but has received the Discovery treatment on deck and below, making this an appealing and modern-looking cruiser that is thoroughly capable.

Introducing

Deep draft performance without compromise.

A key benefit of the variable draft keel is not only shallow draft opportunities but also enhanced performance from a deep high aspect ratio keel when fully lowered.

In practise, the boat is stiffer as a result of the improved righting moment, therefore carrying her sail better than other yachts and carving her way efficiently to windward in a seaway. The keel’s aerofoil shaped cross section, with weight concentrated at the tip, is optimised for sailing to windward, allowing you to point as high as 30° apparent with minimal leeway.

The variable keel geometry allows the keel to be set at any position between fully raised and lowered, enabling the keel to be set and optimised according to your point of sail.

An example of this is having the keel fully raised when sailing downwind.

EXPLORE WHERE OTHERS CANNOT

Southerly’s trade mark variable draft keel enables the draft to be reduced to as little as 0.84m (3 feet). The opportunities are endless for accessing and exploring remote anchorages, harbours and inland waterways worldwide, without the draft restrictions imposed on other yachts.

Shallow draft capabilities can save precious time when entering or leaving locked marinas or even crossing a shallow bar in some harbour entrances. When approaching shallow waters, the keel can simply be raised to avoid grounding, and killing time for a safe height of tide.
