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.

Currently, Southerly Yachts continues its operations from West Sussex, where each yacht is carefully constructed by a skilled team of craftsmen and women who combine the best of traditional boat building techniques with the latest in cutting-edge technology. This allows Southerly Yachts to uphold their reputation for building strong, seaworthy sailboats that are highly sought-after by discerning sailors and enthusiasts around the globe.

Southerly Yachts: Without Limits - Southerly 420

EXPLORING WHERE OTHERS CANNOT

The Southerly 420 has all the elements you would expect of an ocean-going yacht: the tried and tested variable draft swing keel, twin helm rudder arrangement, and a smartly designed deck layout with a comfortable cockpit and cockpit arch for the main traveler.

The versatile rig features twin headsails, an in-mast ICW-friendly (60’ 7”) furling mainsail and an integrated bow sprit. The opportunities are endless! From shallow anchorages that others can’t access to drying out on the beach or a canal passage to the Mediterranean.

A key benefit of the Southerly variable draft swing keel is the shallow draft opportunities and the enhanced performance from a deep, high aspect ratio keel when fully lowered. The yacht draws 2’ 9” with the keel up and 8’ 11” with the keel down.

In practice, the yacht is stiffer due to the improved righting moment, carrying her sail area better than others, and carving her way efficiently to windward in a seaway.

The Southerly 420 is comfortable under sail or at anchor. Enjoy attractive interior styling, a raised salon with unparalleled views, a linear galley, a dedicated nav station, two comfortable private cabins, and two heads. The Southerly 420 is a well-rounded yacht that allows one to explore where others can’t.

SOUTHERLY 420 FEATURES:

Southerly 42 RST: Popular, fast, go-anywhere cruiser

  • David Harding
  • July 4, 2022

Yachts that combine good performance with shallow draught and a deck saloon are few and far between, making the Southerly 42 RST a popular fast, go-anywhere cruiser

Product Overview

Southerly 42.

Southerly 42: A popular, fast, go-anywhere cruiser

It’s always interesting to see what sort of boats racing sailors buy when they decide to go cruising.

I know many competitive dinghy sailors who, when moving to bigger boats, have bought cruiser-racers such as MG Yachts, Starlights, Arconas, Elans, Archambaults, Dehlers, Js and Xs.

Although I hesitate to group all these together in one category, what they have in common is that they’re fast, fun to sail and competitive on the race course while also being sufficiently comfortable and well-mannered (in most instances) to cruise with the family.

In a previous life I worked for Sadler and Starlight, and well remember the advert for the Sadler 34 that invited you to ‘eat them for breakfast and have them to dinner’.

Many people with racing in their blood have gone the performance-cruiser route, often simply because they enjoy fast and efficient sailing.

Others have adopted a very different approach, including one or two I know who have kept their sailing dinghies or small keelboats for racing and bought out-and-out cruisers for family sailing .

One surprised me by opting for what I thought was a ploddy and thoroughly uninspiring cruiser, explaining that he was fully aware of its limitations in all sorts of ways but that it served its purpose for weekending in the Solent with his wife and children.

When you have been racing bigger boats for a long time, deciding what to move on to for your cruising years can present a challenge.

In my time with Starlight I took a number of well-known offshore racing sailors out on demonstration sails and several of them became customers.

People in their position are now often buying the new-generation Xs, Elans, Salonas and so on, but some want something different.

Exploring the options

Someone who decided he did want something different is Jim Macgregor. Jim needs no introduction to anyone who has raced on the south coast in recent decades.

If you have ever found a boat called Flair entered in your class and the name Macgregor next to it, you’ll have known that you had some serious competition.

From events such as Cowes Week and the Round the Island to the Fastnet and the Commodore’s Cup, Jim’s Flairs have been there, done it and, as often as not, won it.

The original Flair was a centreboard version of the MG C27, built by Jeremy Rogers. Next came a MG 335 and then a series of Elans.

Jim played a major role in helping to establish Elan in the UK, starting with a 333 before moving on to a 40 and finally Flair V , an Elan 410.

He ran the 40 and the 410 concurrently for some years, chartering and, latterly, cruising in the 40 from Poole while racing the 410 from the Solent.

As a recently retired Poole pilot of long standing, Jim knows his local waters pretty well but has made a habit of going the right way wherever he has sailed.

My most recent race with him was on Flair V on a brisk day in Cowes Week.

On that particular day, Jim had been happy to hand over the helm to his daughter Lucy, who just happens to be a former Olympic match racer (along with her sister Kate) and women’s world match-racing champion.

With daughters like that on board, it’s not difficult to relinquish the helm and enjoy the ride as a proud father.

As the urge grew to spend more time cruising, Jim continued to race Flair V while making a series of modifications to Flair IV to convert her from racer to cruiser.

I wrote about these in 2016, after which she was used exclusively for cruising and then sold the following year.

‘As soon as Flair IV had gone we missed our cruising,’ said Jim, ‘so we rapidly did less racing.’

Radio-controlled (model) yacht racing took over from big boats to satisfy the competitive instincts of a lifelong racer, Poole’s Radio Yacht Club being one of the most active in the UK and attracting seasoned campaigners from both dinghy and cruiser fleets in the area.

That left the cruising hole to plug. So, what to buy?

Jim had learned a good deal from converting Flair IV , subsequently looking at and sailing a number of potential replacements.

The Saare 41 caught his eye at one stage, as did the X43 and, later, the Xc 42 .

When he and his wife, Chrissy, started looking in earnest, however, it wasn’t long before the idea of a deck saloon took hold.

They realised that swapping their fin-keeled, low-coachroof performance cruiser for a newer performance cruiser with a low coachroof and fin keel wouldn’t make a lot of sense, so they started looking at boats with a bit more ‘up top’.

The Luffe 43 DS immediately appealed: ‘a racing boat with a tasteful doghouse’, as Jim put it.

‘It had lovely woodwork, looked nice and obviously sailed well, but it wouldn’t have been a good compromise for us to sell a well-equipped boat from 2007 (referring to Flair V ) and buy something that was older in design just because it had some big windows.’

The Regina 40 and 43 made their way on to the list before being rejected when shallow draught entered the equation. That reduced the choice even further.

Jim considered a Sirius (from one of the few builders offering a choice of fins, twins or swing keels) before a friend with an interest in statistical analysis suggested that the Southerly 42 stacked up pretty well.

Big or bigger?

Apart from the type of boat to buy, the main question was its size. As Jim says: ‘It’s easy to look at slightly bigger boats, then a bit bigger again, then when do you stop?’

As much of their sailing would be two-handed when not with their daughters, Jim and Chrissy decided that it would be sensible to stick to something of similar length to Flair V , especially since the Southerly 42 offered so much more space.

Now in their second season with Flair VI – a Southerly 42 RST – they’re confident that they made a good decision in terms of both design and size.

‘We’re very pleased we didn’t get sucked into anything bigger than this,’ notes Jim.

Another important point was that his daughters were happy. ‘At my age it seemed unreasonable to spend a good chunk of their inheritance on the Southerly 42 unless they really wanted to share her.’

As he and the whole family hoped, they have indeed shared her, ‘whether it’s joining Chrissy and me on a cruise, or spending a night around the back of the islands here in Poole. My guess is that they and our grandchildren will be taking me out long after I become incapable of taking myself!’

The latest boat to bear the Flair name was bought through Discovery Yachts’ brokerage.

The previous owner had given the yard a long list of equipment to fit, and the work still went ahead when the boat was put on the market.

So, in addition to having been lightly used and well looked after, this particular Southerly came with pretty well everything an owner could want, including a stern-thruster.

Flair VI thus became Jim’s fifth boat designed by Rob Humphreys. All the earlier Flairs had been Humphreys designs too, except for Tony Castro’s MG 335.

‘It’s a Humphreys design so it isn’t going to be a bad sailing boat,’ says Jim, ‘and it’s got all that draught.’

As well as using Humphreys, Northshore commissioned new Southerlys of the same generation from Stephen Jones and Ed Dubois.

Jones was also given the job of designing a new deck for the Southerly 42 a few years after its launch, a ‘T’ then being added to the RS (raised saloon) designation to reflect the addition of twin wheels in the redesigned cockpit.

Whoever was responsible for which part of the boat, everything about it adds up for Jim and his family – and that includes the sailing performance.

‘All that draught’, as he puts it, gives the Southerly 42 an advantage over fin-keelers.

After all, there’s no need to limit the depth of a keel when, at the touch of a button, you can swing it up to make the boat float in just 0.84m (2ft 9in) of water.

There are further potential performance benefits of the swing keel too, but in any event Jim was more than happy when he sailed his new boat home from Chichester to Poole, beating into 15-18 knots all the way.

‘It was going like a train.’ That was only in June last year, since when he has been east to the Solent and west as far as the Dart, ‘where we were mostly up the river, enjoying being up a creek in 3ft of water.’

Easy sailing

Conditions were undemanding on the day I went for a sail with Jim: flat water and an easy 12-15 knots of wind.

The Southerly’s generous displacement and self-tacking jib might point to a less-than-scintillating performance in light airs , but we had enough for her to power up quite nicely.

The polars show upwind speeds of nigh-on 7 knots at about 32° to the wind when it builds, (‘Optimistic,’ says Jim. ‘Maybe 42°’ ) and 6 knots in the conditions we had.

She will also point reasonably high with the lightweight headsail on the outer forestay.

You wouldn’t normally use it upwind in more than 10 knots or so and it has to be furled away during tacks because there’s only a small space between the forestays.

It comes into its own for straight-line sailing once you’re cracked off a few degrees.

Balance seemed good and the boat felt positive and reassuringly sure-footed, suggesting that she would look after you and not get excited without good reason.

The ergonomics of the cockpit worked well.

A nice detail is where the seating is lowered slightly to form the bridgedeck, angled edges for foot-bracing making the approach to the companionway easier when the boat’s heeled.

Below decks, the raised saloon and chart table give a good view out and the keel case is incorporated into the layout in such a way as to be hardly noticeable.

It’s worth noting that the keel accounts for about one third of the ballast and the remaining two-thirds is in the cast iron grounding plate on which the boat sits when dried out.

This distribution means that the centre of gravity (CG) remains reassuringly low (and the righting moment correspondingly high) when the keel is raised, though in turn the CG is not as low with the keel down as it would be if the keel contained all the ballast.

With the seating and chart table in the raised part of the saloon, the galley is at a lower level.

Some Southerly 42s have a third cabin to port, abaft the forecabin. That moves the forward heads across to starboard, making the galley smaller.

Others are like Flair VI , with a double en-suite cabin at each end and the longer galley. You can always use the saloon if you have extra overnight guests.

In terms of finish and detail, the standard is noticeably higher than on the earlier-generation Southerlys I have sailed.

The woodwork, in a light shade of teak , is hard to fault. Jim has just one niggle thus far:

‘There’s only one drawer in the whole boat’.

Lastly on this rocket-tour of the interior, I mustn’t fail to mention the aft cabin. It’s vast.

Verdict on the Southerly 42

If you like having a good view from inside, want to be able to dry out and enjoy exploring the upper reaches of harbours and creeks and river and estuary sailing , you might find it hard to imagine why anyone wants a fin-keel and a low coachroof.

Jim Macgregor has spent most of his sailing life owning boats like this.

Now the time has come for him to start enjoying a different sort of sailing, and it looks as though the Southerly 42 RST is going to be just the right boat.

Expert opinion on the Southerly 42

Ben Sutcliffe-Davies, Marine Surveyor and full member of the Yacht Brokers Designers & Surveyors Association (YDSA)

www.bensutcliffemarine.co.uk

The Southerly 42 RST, like many of the yachts built by Northshore Yachts, were built to a very high standard.

I believe the yacht’s underwater areas were solid laminate with clear gelcoat, and that her topsides and decks have a core that will be either balsa or a foam.

As with any core decks, it’s essential to check it is suitably secure and watertight.

A few of the Southerly 42 RSTs were fitted with teak decks; this needs careful examination to check for wear and water tightness of any fastenings.

I have seen some issues with voiding of the laminate, especially around the keel return mouldings and I have had reports in the past of gelcoat crazing near the hull to deck joints.

Ben_Sutcliffe-Davies

Ben Sutcliffe- Davies has been in the marine industry for over 40 years as a long- time boat builder, has been surveying craft for over 20 years.

The keel arrangement is a large cast pan that is bolted up into a recess using stainless fastenings.

The whole of the keel mechanism needs regular lubrication; I have surveyed one which had damage to the laminate on the return of the keel pan after it took some rough ground.

Many of the craft were laminated in colours and, in many cases, this will now be in need of painting as the gelcoat will have faded from UV light damage.

One other thing I have found when onboard the Southerly 42 RST is that it is quite a narrow space when moving from the cockpit to the side decks, and possibly would have benefited from a few more grab rails.

Alternatives to the Southerly 42

Southerly 135.

Later versions of the 135 had increased freeboard and a longer deck saloon. Credit: David Harding

Given the Southerly 42’s particular blend of attributes, few boats are directly comparable.

Most of those that might be seen as fulfilling broadly the same purpose are built of aluminium or have more than one hull.

If you’re attracted to the Southerly 42 but can’t find one (or can’t find the cash, as they’re not inexpensive), probably the most likely alternative is another Southerly: the 135.

The 135 was the first Southerly designed by Rob Humphreys and the first to move away from Dick Carter’s ‘wedge-of-cheese’ shape of keel found on earlier models to one that was deeper, of higher aspect ratio and more efficient.

It gave the 135 a lower centre of gravity, better upwind performance and a less intrusive keel case into the bargain.

Designed in the late 1980s, the 135 was a slim and attractive design.

By the turn of the decade, however, sales had slowed and buyers were demanding more volume.

So, in 2001, a remodelled version (the Series III) appeared, with a longer deck saloon and wider cabin top.

The original Southerly 135, the Series 1, had been a Dick Carter design that was later stretched to become the 145.

Northshore’s next move, revealed the following year, was to increase the freeboard by 15cm (6in), because the 135 still only offered stooping headroom in the aft cabin and a duck-through passage from the saloon.

Completing the transformation in 2003, when I tested the boat in her final form, were twin rudders to enable her to sport a taller rig.

Earlier Southerlys had been limited in their sail-carrying ability because the single shallow rudder would lose grip at a modest angle of heel.

Twin rudders (first seen on Humphreys’ Southerly 110 and fitted to later examples of the 115) played a major role in releasing the boat’s performance potential and making the most of her slippery hull.

She might not match the Southerly 42 RS or RST in every respect, but is probably the closest you’ll find.

Built of aluminium in France by Alubat, the Ovni range places the emphasis firmly on ruggedness and functionality.

The chined hulls are un-painted so as to need less attention, giving them an appearance that’s a little too functional for some.

Unlike Southerlys, the Ovnis carry all their ballast internally: the centreplates are unballasted and relatively easy to lift manually.

Despite stability curves that might raise questions among offshore sailors,

Ovnis have found favour among long-distance live-aboard cruisers and been chosen by some high-profile names in the cruising world.

Dating from the early 2000s, the Ovni 435 has a single rudder, but its hydraulically lifting blade is deeper than the shallow fixed blade found on the original Southerly 135 and some of the earlier Feelings.

With her generous displacement and relatively modest rig – necessitated by the lack of low-down ballast – the 435 is a steady rather than spectacular performer under sail.

She’s known for her comfortable motion and gentle handling in heavy weather.

Below decks, the high-volume hull accommodates three double cabins – two in the stern sharing a heads by the companionway, and another forward of the mast with its own heads in the bow.

The linear galley – not always popular on offshore cruisers – works because of the central bench seat over the keel case that provides a bracing point.

On the early boats, levels of insulation were variable and a fair number were built with non-standard layouts.

The 39 also came with a fin keel option. Credit: David Harding

Like the Ovni, the Feeling 39 was designed by Philippe Briand.

She was originally built as the Kelt 39 before the Kelt yard was taken over by Kirié, builders of the Feeling range in Les Sables d’Olonne, in the late 1980s.

Kirié in turn was taken over by Alliaura Marine, which then became part of Privilege and the 39 was eventually discontinued.

One way and another, it’s a bit of a chequered history, but the boat herself has a reputation as a spacious, nicely-finished cruiser with a good performance.

Again like the Ovni, the swing-keel version carries all her ballast in a grounding plate, though this time it incorporates a central stub and two mini ‘stublets’ on which she dries out.

Being unballasted, the centreplate is easy to raise with a rope tackle.

One way in which she differs from the Ovni is in having twin rudders .

She also came with the option of a fin keel, though most fin-keelers went to charter fleets in the Mediterranean .

The centreplate version was always more popular among private owners.

Accommodation-wise, the centreplate case is incorporated within a bench seat in the saloon, with a galley along the port side.

A double berth is offset to starboard in the forecabin.

The alternative layout, used on the fin-keeler, has a conventional saloon with a galley to starboard by the companionway forward of the twin double aft cabins.

First test of the new Southerly 480

The disappearance of Southerly Yachts’ swing keel range of boats was keenly felt. Now the manufacturer is back and first off the production line is the 480. Sam Jefferson checks her out

  One of the dominant features of the UKs coastline is the simply phenomenal tidal range and if there is one thing I have learnt from a lifetime of misadventures exploring its shallower corners is that it really pays to have a shallow draft and be able to dry out. It was for this reason that, when Southerly Yachts was wound up for the second time in 2014, its loss was felt very keenly among a certain section of sailors. There are other options out there when it comes to swinging and lifting keels but they are surprisingly limited. To my knowledge, only French manufacturer Feeling offers a GRP swing keel cruising yacht of any size and to be honest I don’t know what Feeling are up to these days. After that you’re into the distinctive and highly Gallic Alubat ‘expedition’ style boats which are great but not to everyone’s taste. So Southerly had essentially cornered a market and then somehow managed to self destruct. Impressive. It was therefore a great relief to many of us when Discovery Yachts – now operating under the name of The Discovery Group – salvaged the brand.

southerly yachts

Anyone who hasn’t been following the shenanigans at Discovery’s Marchwood factory has missed a treat. The manufacturer had made a name for itself in creating high quality blue water yachts but was at a crossroads in 2016. With a new CEO at the helm the decision was taken to expand aggressively and the result has been a range that has ballooned beyond recognition to the point where it can get quite confusing. Anyway, the Southerly 480 is one of the first results of all this feverish activity and I was fortunate to be one of the first to test the new boat.

I had been impressed by the sensible business values that seemed to have underpinned Southerly’s resurrection but stepping aboard was  the moment where you finally thought ‘well, are these guys for real?’ The fear was that what I was going to see was a rather dated rehash of the old Southerly 47 – first launched in 2012. The hull is essentially exactly the same, after all. Well, I’m always happy to be the bearer of good news and this wasn’t the case. I wasn’t worried about the hull as I knew that looked good. She was designed by Stephen Jones – perhaps best known for his work with Rustler Yachts – and a man renowned for penning a sweet line. No – I was more worried about the general feel in the cockpit and the interior. I need not have worried. Discovery Yachts always had a fine name for quality workmanship and it was immediately evident here. I would say there has been a bit of a step up in terms of quality. Meanwhile, the deck mould is all new; slightly higher than it was on the original 47 and with a big wraparound windscreen she looked strikingly modern; more aggressive than the original version and – whisper it – a little bit flashy. Anyway, it worked, and visually she was impressive. There is an option for an arch over the cockpit for the mainsheet but the test boat did not have this.

At this point it’s probably worth discussing the keel as that is one of the key selling points of the Southerly. The beauty of resurrecting the brand is that their swing keel system is thoroughly tried and tested. Southerlys have crossed many oceans and completed innumerable circumnavigations. The principle is not like a lift keel which retracts vertically into the hull. Instead, the swing keel operates like a giant centreboard in a dinghy. It’s raised and lowered by combining a hydraulic ram, high tensile rope and pulley blocks. The benefit of this system is that if you touch the bottom, the cast iron keel is simply nudged up a tad. No damage done. The entire mechanism is easily inspected by lifting up a couple of floorboards in the cockpit. The yacht also features a ballast plate weighing in at four tons keeps her upright with the keel up and this plate also provides reinforcement when the yacht to is on the bottom when drying out. Twin rudders angled and built into the rocker of the hull aft provide yet more stability when drying out.

The cockpit feels familiar and is reassuringly enclosed while also being pleasantly sociable. I dislike the use of the word ‘ergonomic’ but it does apply in this case as the cockpit seats were all very thoughtfully angled in a manner that made them supremely comfortable for lounging on. Most of the running rigging is led under the deck to a pair of electric winches on the coachroof. The sail controls are led aft to a pair of primaries within reach of the helmsman and there are a secondary pair of winches just forward of these. The rig features a powerful mainsail and self tacking jib with a second larger headsail set outboard of the self tacker on a sprit. This is a good versatile set up for blue water sailing – and coastal sailing for that matter – certainly for boat testing it means you can throw the yacht about without really thinking about it. Heading forward there are plenty of good handholds plus a substantial double anchor roller.

Discovery has been refining the concept of deck saloons for some time now. Many manufacturers have to be fair. I do recall that a lot of the early DS yachts actually rather screwed it up by having the windows slightly too high. So there was a lot of light but you were constantly craning your neck to confirm that the view was really there. This was partially the case on the old 47 and the new design has rectified the issue by raising the coachroof just a tad and dropping the windows down a touch. This means that when you step into the saloon you are greeted with excellent panoramic views.

Sam’s verdict

The return of the Southerly is a welcome one. If you are cruising highly tidal areas you are missing out on about 50% of the action without a shallow draft. Yet by the same token, the 480 is a proven blue water performer and the new boat has certainly been carefully thought out. She also looks good and sails well. The quality of Discovery Yachts handiwork also shines through in the fit out and finish and the general feel is that the old 47 has been improved and refined. Of course, lift keels are not for everyone but they have a lot to commend them and the return of this old favourite should help to win over a few more converts.

Factors Affecting Cost

Buying a yacht in Russia is a rather time-consuming and lengthy process that requires the participation of professional yacht brokers. Depending on the condition of the vessel, the year of manufacture, the quality of its equipment, class and size, the acquisition cost can vary greatly. There are several indicators on which the cost of buying a yacht will depend :

  • Manufacturer, or shipyard - the most famous manufacturers with expensive products are concentrated mainly in European countries, and the most budget yachts are assembled in shipyards of the countries of Asia and the Middle East;
  • Equipment - sometimes the internal filling is made to order, and in some cases it is standard equipment with less power, comfort, speed, etc. In this regard, the cost of ships even from one manufacturer can vary greatly;
  • Ship design;
  • The age of the yacht.

Also, sailing yachts for sale in Russia cost the buyer less than similar motor lengths, but yachts with a history do not always cost less than recently launched ones. Often, the previous owners are engaged in the modernization of the vessel, installing expensive additional equipment on it or customizing the yacht - in this case, the price for it increases significantly. And sailing yachts often participate in regattas, where they can take prizes and eventually acquire a name - this also leads to a rise in the cost of the vessel.

Note that the cost of a yacht in Russia will be significantly different depending on the length of the vessel. You can always check the final cost of the vessel with a yacht broker, and since this market is very lively, the price can change even during the time during which you pick up a yacht.

You can find out the price of the selected vessel and its technical parameters in our catalog, and you can leave a request for purchase directly on the website, online.
