History of Southerly

Founded in 1973, Southerly is a prominent British yacht maker known for its superior build quality, safety and performance. The company's conception coincided with the surge in popularity of sailing in the UK, at a time when boating was transforming from being a largely professional pursuit to wide-spread leisure activity. Based in West Sussex, the company started producing boats designed by the talented naval architect, John Bennett, and quickly established a loyal customer base with their lifting keel designs that offered both deep water performance and shallow draught versatility.

In 2009, Northshore Yachts, infamous for their Vancouver and Fisher ranges, took over the Southerly brand and incorporated it into their operations. With this acquisition, Southerly was not only able to continue production, but also to further invest in research and innovation. And even today, each Southerly yacht still embodies the original principles set by the founding team, creating exceptional boats with matchless performance and build quality.

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.

A Superyacht Approach at Southerly Yachts

• By Cruising World Staff
• August 1, 2024

Concept Yachts is marking one year since it purchased Southerly Yachts near Southampton in the UK, bringing superyacht standards to the build process with an increased use of infusion in the lamination process, millimeter-accurate fit-out with a milling machine and 3D printer, and a more modular approach to interior fit-out.

In fact, semi-bespoke runs have already happened for two of Southerly’s most popular models: the 420 and 480.

Both models have Southerly’s signature swing keel system, which reduces draft. Combined with a twin rudder arrangement, this keel system allows the yachts to access the shallowest of anchorages, and to dry out on their own bottoms in tidal areas.

The keel system also can give the yachts a relatively deep draft with weight distribution in the fin. This allows the boats to hold sail in strong conditions and point high.

The swing keel can also be semi-raised to improve performance downwind when sailing transoceanic itineraries with the trade winds.

Both the 420 and 480 are raised deck saloon models. The 420’s standard layout has forward and aft full-beam ensuite staterooms. Southerly also offers the 420 with a three-stateroom layout: two staterooms forward with a shared head, and the ensuite master aft.

Southerly’s 480 has a standard layout with an ensuite owners’ stateroom aft. A twin-bunk stateroom is immediately aft on the port side with a shared head.

In 2025, Southerly Yachts will celebrate its 50th birthday—and is planning to launch an anniversary edition flagship model as part of the festivities.

“Southerly Yachts is going well,” Concept Yachts’ CEO and founder Kevin Viles stated in a press release. “We are fully up and running and onto our fourth customer within a year of taking over the company.”

Will Southerly Yachts have a display at this fall’s Southampton Boat Show? Yes. Showgoers will be able to make appointments to visit the build facility in Marchwood to see a three-stateroom 420 under construction.

The ADVANTAGE of a SOUTHERLY

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: one that has a deep draft for powerful sailing performance, yet a shallow draft for exploring shallow creeks and inland waterways. Southerly’s have covered many thousands of miles, including transatlantic and round-the-world voyages.

Deep Draft Performance

The Variable Draft Keel provides a deep draft which gives a greater stability due to the increased righting moment. In practice the boat is stiffer, carries her sail better and carves her way efficiently to windward in any seaway. The Variable Draft Keel’s aerofoil shape is highly efficient – and allows you to point high (30°) with minimal leeway.

Shallow Draft Freedom

At the touch of a button, the keel can be raised, to sail in very shallow waters. This means you can extend your cruising grounds considerably. Raising the Variable Draft Keel, gives you access to many locations both for pleasure and for safety.

“It delivers the best of both worlds…When you’re out in the ocean, you want a boat that can handle waves and big seas. But the best part of the cruising life is at the edges where water meets land. The Southerly will take you to both of those places. With the keel down, you’ve got 11 feet under you and all the pointing ability that goes with that. So it’s a deepwater boat but also one you can dry out. It can go places most cruising boats can’t ever go. So the world is very, very opened up” – Read full article: Southerly 540 Wins Cruising World Boat of the Year for Best Full Size Cruiser

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.

Jim Macgregor has been one of the south coast’s most successful racing sailors of recent decades. After selling his Elan 410, Flair V , in 2020, he now races radio-controlled yachts and cruises in his new Southerly 42 RST. Credit David Harding

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.

The hull has been used for multiple versions of the Southerly 42, including the current model with a new deck and coachroof. Credit: David Harding

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.’

In flat water, the self-tacker provides reasonable upwind power in about 12 knots. Credit: David Harding

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.

The helm stations have plenty of handholds and bracing points within easy reach, and dished seats for comfort when you want to sit down. Credit: David Harding

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!’

Side decks are on the narrow side, but teak-capped bulwarks (with an aperture by the chunky spring cleats) ensure secure footing. Credit: David Harding

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.’

Plenty of hatches as well as vents – both tannoys and dorades – ensure light and ventilation below decks. Credit: David Harding

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.

A self-tacking jib helps make the Southerly 42 easy to manage short-handed. The original sheet has been replaced with 10mm Dyneema. Credit: David Harding

‘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.

A raised saloon and chart table give a good view out through the large windows. Woodwork is nicely finished in light teak. Credit: David Harding

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.

An island berth is the central feature in the enormous aft cabin, above which the hollow base of the cockpit table forms an atrium. Credit: David Harding

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.

Instrument space is limited at the chart table, but the navigator is close to the companionway and has a good view of the outside world. A wet locker is abaft the nav seat. Credit: David Harding

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.

Sheets are within reach of the helm stations, the mainsheet being split and led aft to Lewmar 46 self-tailers each side. Credit: David Harding

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.

The Southerly 42 RST makes a good coastal cruiser but is also well suited to offshore sailing. Credit: David Harding

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 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.

An example of an original 135 with the low freeboard. Credit: David Harding

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.

The Ovni 435 has a double chined tough aluminium alloy hull. Credit: David Harding

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.

great performance, self tacking jib for easy sailing, comfortable cockpit

and spacious interior

Deep draft  performance with  shallow draft  freedom

Stephen Jones was commissioned to embody the established features of the Southerly within a hull to fit a 10m mooring whilst providing good live aboard facilities and excellent sailing performance.

The result sets very high standards which will appeal to many; comfortable cockpit with good storage, wide side decks for safe footing, easy to handle rig with self tacking jib, light and airy interior with accommodation to sleep up to six people.

Under sail, the Southerly 32 is fast and exhilarating -and a real pleasure to helm. The modern hull shape with plumb stem and long waterline length provides impressive sailing performance whilst the broad transom, twin rudders and Whitlock direct rod steering gives instantly responsive helming and exceptional directional stability - making the yacht easy to control.

Single line mainsail reefing and a Furlex on the self tacking jib makes sail handling easy – ideal for family or short handed sailing. The furling self tacking jib means you can tack spontaneously, allowing you to sail in conditions that a conventional sail plan may not allow, such as in a harbour or congested sailing area.

Deep draft performance with  shallow draft freedom

The unique Swing Keel provides deep draft performance 6’11’’ (deeper than most yachts), whilst at the ‘touch of a button’ the keel can be raised to just 2’4’‘ for shallow draft freedom, allowing you to sail in coastal areas and inland waters.

The instant feeling of space inside the Southerly 32, is quite incredible. The raised coachroof extends forward to the mast area, providing good head height throughout whilst generous open plan seating provides a very sociable and spacious saloon. The keel trunk is discreetly hidden within the central table which has fold down leaves to both sides. The seating can convert to single berths for additional sleeping, if required.

The galley is well planned with good views and light, Corian type work surfaces, stainless steel grab rail, twin stainless steel sinks, a refrigerated ice box and a fully gimballed cooker with two burners, grill and oven are standard.   The chart table is in the raised position to take advantage of the panoramic views.

The spacious aft cabin has a large double berth and plenty of storage including a vanity unit. A second door provides ensuite facilities to the spacious heads. The forward cabin is a generous size with twin v berths, good head height, and ample storage.

ABout Superyacht Approach at Southerly

It is now one year on since southerly yachts, the much-loved british brand of swing keel blue water sailing cruisers, was acquired by concept yachts., concept yachts over the last 22 years has become well known in superyacht circles worldwide for supplying its specialist workforce,  culminating in the company receiving the superyacht contractor of year award in 2022. this encompasses all areas from the start to the finish of a superyacht’s build process, from consultancy and project management, to engineering, composite work, metal fabrication on to interior fitout and exterior finishing..

Southerly Yachts Reborn

Construction of Southerly Yachts takes place in our build facility in Marchwood, close to Southampton, where Concept Yachts is using its highly experienced work force to apply its superyacht standards to the creation of it yachts. Southerly Yachts now benefit from increased use of infusion in the lamination process, millimetre accurate fit-out thanks to an in-house milling machine and 3D printer and a more modular approach to interior fit-out.

All models feature Southerly Yachts’ signature swing keel system. At the touch of a button, when the keel is swung it not only allows you the access to the shallowest of anchorages to get away from the crowds, but in tidal areas means they can dry out securely on their own bottoms.

The swing keel can also be trimmed, to improve performance downwind for example when sailing transoceanic with the trade winds.

All models have the signature raised deck saloon. Southerly also offers a multitude of layouts based on the client’s needs. Over the years Southerly have won numerous awards. Internationally the brand is synonymous with quality and bluewater sailing.

“…combining the trademark lifting keel technology of Southerly Yachts with Concept Yachts’ penchant for sleek aesthetics and advanced engineering”
