Remarks :

Now a comfortable and fast cruising yacht that has been maintained and upgraded. Her ketch rig allows for flexible sail plan and low center of gravity providing stability. Southerly's racing success was recorded by America Cup sailor Gary Jobson who sailed her regularly who commented on her balanced lines. A fine example of yachting history and heritage. Many upgrades, engine 2017, electronics & sails 2021, standing rig 2023. Major bright work maintenance in 2024. This classic cruising yacht with lifting keel allows for close shore anchoring on inlets and beaches denied to many other yachts and indeed many smaller vessels and at the same time a capable trans-ocean fast passage yacht.
