Southerly 47: A solid voyager with swing keel flexibility

Northshore Yachts Ltd. in the U.K. has been designing and building rugged variable-draft voyaging yachts that have proven themselves both in sailing performance and seakeeping ability since 1971. The boats have proven themselves not only as racers and coastal cruisers, but also as bluewater passagemakers and able circumnavigators.

Today the company’s fleet ranges from 32 to 67 feet and produces about 60 boats a year at its factory in Itchenor, West Sussex. The yard’s newest launch, designed by Stephen Jones and the Northshore Design Office is a superb example of a modern yacht that has all the characteristics of high performance and offshore ability with variable draft, thanks to a unique swing keel. For precision helm control the yacht also sports twin rudders — a hallmark of Northshore Design.

The Southerly 47 evolved from the yard’s earlier 45-footer, flagship of the Southerly fleet.

The 47 features a fractional rig with a self-tacking jib and large fully-battened mainsail for powerful performance. Dacron sails are standard, with the upgrade to laminates as an option. There is an asymmetric gennaker that can be flown from an optional stainless steel bowsprit in light air. As an option, owners can choose a double headsail (jib and overlapping genoa). A storm jib on a removable inner stay is available as is an in-mast or in-boom furling. The headsail has a Furlex headsail reefing system as standard equipment.

A crew of two The fractional rig is by Selden and has double swept back spreaders. Spars, including the Park Avenue boom, are anodized aluminum.

The boat is designed to be sailed by a crew of two and as such all sail controls are led to the cockpit. The mainsheet track traverses the coachroof with sheets led aft to each of the twin helm stations. This provides for ease of handling from either helm and keeps the cockpit clear. All winches are by Lewmar. The cockpit itself is deep and secure with ample seating for guests and a centerline table for entertaining. In addition to the dedicated helm seats there are also teak bench seats mounted on the stainless steel stern rail. There is also a fold down transom door for access to a large stowage area that is perfect for a dinghy.

The fore deck is clean thanks to a very low-profile cabin trunk. The pilothouse profile is equally sleek and European in its styling and has unparalleled visibility due to its low profile.

Belowdecks, the interior space has been configured to maximize space with the raised saloon to port and additional seating to starboard and below. The galley and the navigation station are opposite each other, one either side of the companionway for ease of access. Navigation electronics are at the owner’s discretion — Northshore Yachts recommends Raymarine ST60 wind and depth instruments.

The galley is fully equipped for living aboard or for long-range voyaging. It has two stainless steel sinks, pressurized hot and cold water with mixed taps, Corian type Aspen Glacier countertops and a three-burner gimbaled range and oven. The reefer/freezer is a front-loading stainless steel unit.

Three-cabin layout The yacht has a three-cabin layout with a spacious owner’s cabin, centerline bed and en suite head and shower. There is a port midships cabin with over and under bunks which also can be used as an office or study. An additional head and shower are immediately to starboard and are shared with the forward cabin, which has a double vee berth. All cabins have large, deep hanging lockers and additional built-in storage. Interior joinery is either solid cherry or mahogany and marine faced plywood. The cabin soles are teak-striped non-slip laminate.

The hull is constructed of heavy GRP, laid up using Northshore’s Nordseal laminating system which incorporates multi-axial and unidirectional reinforcements. The keel box runs the entire length of the hull layup and sandwich construction stiffening runs the entire length of the hull topsides. All bulkheads are bonded to the hull during layup along with additional transverse frames and longitudinal stringers. The decks are GRP sandwich construction with stressed areas reinforced with unidirectional glass.

For power there is a Yanmar 4JH4-TE 75-hp four-cylinder fresh water cooled marine diesel turning a three-bladed bronze propeller. Bow thrusters are optional. To protect the propeller when the vessel is dried out, a very substantial skeg has been fitted to the centerline. Auxiliary power comes from three heavy-duty, alternator-charged batteries. Fuel tanks are non-metallic and carry 130 gallons. Water tankage is 110 gallons.

Twin rudders standard Semi-balanced twin rudders have been standard on Northshore’s Southerly yachts. They offer precise control, directional stability and the security of an extra rudder. The twin stainless steel cockpit wheels drive the rudders with a Whitlock steering system. An emergency steering system has also been installed.

Perhaps the most unique feature of the Southerly line beyond the twin ridders is the unique swing keel. The concept was first developed for the Southerly 33 in 1978 and has continued to be employed by Northshore ever since. The swing keel has satisfied many owners’ idea of a perfect yacht — deep draft for powerful performance and shoal draft for convenience, safety and versatility. For deep draft performance the cast iron keel offers greater stability due to an increased righting moment. According to Northshore Yachts, the boat is stiffer and works to windward with great efficiency. The keel’s aerofoil shape also reportedly allows the boat to point high, at least 30 degrees, with minimal leeway. Raising and lowering the keel is done with an electrically-activated hydraulic pump backed up by a manual system.

When retracted, the cast iron fixed ballast, which is recessed into the hull, acts as a grounding plate allowing the boat to rest on the plate in complete safety and “dry out” in an upright position. The boat can literally be berthed on the beach with confidence.

With such flexibility, plus its other attributes, the Southerly 47 is a boat worthy of serious consideration by any voyager.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There will always come a time in a Southerly's life where the keel will require some maintenance, and where better to come than the original home of the Variable Draft Swing Keel. We can carry out all your requirements, from basic keel inspection and pennant adjustment (which we recommend every 5-10 years) to a complete removal and refurbishment for the older Southerly models to bring the specification up to modern standards.

KEEL REMOVAL & REFURBISHMENT FOR OLDER SOUTHERLYS  

With over 35 years experience of building Southerly Swing Keel yachts, our expert service is unrivalled.  

For a complete keel refurbishment, we will disconnect and remove the necessary equipment and components to gain internal access to the keel and its housing. We will then remove the keel bolts, hydraulic ram bolts and the pennant.  After the keel and grounding plate are separated from the boat, we will clean the hull recess, inspect and repair and damage if necessary. The keel will then be cleaned and shot-blasted for rust removal, then primed and anti-fouled. Bearings, nylon blocks, rubber seals, steel plate and pennant will be replaced and the refurbished keel will be installed back into your yacht, all as good as new. 

We welcome the opportunity to discuss with you any upgrades you may be considering for your yacht.

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.

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. To choose a yacht for purchase , you can use the help of our broker for the sale of yachts - our specialists are in collaboration with their colleagues around the world to be able to cover the entire market. Ask our manager your questions to get detailed information on the yacht you are interested in.

We wish you success in conducting transactions on the yacht market!

Beginner Lessons Every dance we teach a beginning drop in lesson, which is included in the price of admission. Lessons are taught by a team of volunteers and generally focus on basic East Coast Swing, but the exact content of the lesson varies depending on the talents of the instructor. The drop in lessons are from 7 PM to 8 PM. Even if you've been to one or two beginner lessons already, it's always a great idea to keep attending lessons as different instructors will teach different dance moves and have different pointers.

Beyond the Basics ​If you love swing dancing and you feel comfortable with the East Coast Swing basic step, inside turn, and outside turn, then these lessons are for you! Beyond the Basics will build upon the skills dancers have learned in the Beginner lessons, focusing on technique, connection, transitions, and new moves.

We offer Beyond the Basics lessons when we do not have series classes happening. 

Series Classes

We offer 4-5 week series classes throughout the year. Prices vary depending on topic, instructor(s), and length of class. Previous series classes include East Coast Swing Fundamentals, Charleston, Lindy Hop 1 and 2, and Balboa. Our series classes start the beginning of the month

Private Lessons

Some of our members also teach private lessons if you want to advance faster with your dancing. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] or on Facebook and let us know what your lesson needs are. We will then put you in contact with a possible instructor.  ​ Wanna be the Teacher? ​ Want to help out by teaching? We love getting new volunteers! Check out our How to Volunteer page.
