Overview'Blue Dolphin' is one of just a few Southerly 420 cruising yachts built by Northshore. This fine example offers outstanding sailing performance with easy handling by just two people from the centre cockpit. The spacious interior is fitted out to a very high standard and comes with many extras, to facilitate extended voyaging.The manufacturer's description highlights a modern well-balanced hull form, long heeled waterline and broad transom, which provide thoroughbred performance and a sea-kindly motion. The Southerly 420 certainly offers outstanding versatility, with a variable draft keel giving the freedom to sail in a variety of waters.With her flexible sail plan, secure cockpit, autopilot, generator, watermaker, wind generator and solar power, Blue Dolphin offers serious blue water potential. Her superb living accommodation and a lifting keel also make her ideal for coastal cruising.For more information, contact Paul in the Plymouth office on 01752 260086.ConstructionHeavy Duty GRP MouldingHand layup to Northshore's Nordseal laminating systemSolid GRP hull below the waterline.Southerly Blue gel coatIvory White boot topIvory White style linesTri-view vertical port lights to both sides of saloonCoppercoat antifouling system applied to underwater area when builtDeck bonded to hull through the entire length and to all main bulkheads.Teak capping railTeak laid ring deckVariable draft keel, raised and lowered by hydraulic ram, with hand operated back-upSemi-balanced twin ruddersEngine, Stern Gear & PropulsionYanmar 4JH5E 4 cylinder, fresh water cooled, diesel engine53 HP 39.6kW80 amp alternatorGRP stern tube with water lubricated stern glandStainless steel propeller shaftAquadrive CBV10 for reduced engine noise and vibrationBronze three bladed MaxProp feathering propellerAmbassador AM10 rope cutter12 volt electric ventilatorDedicated sound deadened engine compartmentLewmar 82Kg bow thruster with control at helm positionDeck Equipment2 x Lewmar 50ST genoa winches1 x Lewmar 45AEST powered halyard winch2 x Lewmar 46ST mainsheet winches20kg Delta anchor 50 metres of chain 30 metres of warpQuick Prince DP3 1500w windlass including hand held control headWindlass control on steering pedestalLewmar Mamba steering system pedestal with nav podSingle teak seats to port and starboard pushpitGood access aft for boarding via transomTelescopic stern boarding ladderSimpson LSD75 davits to aft deck areaDeck shower with hot and cold water fitted at transomPower hose for deck cleaningCockpit table on forward side of pedestalSprayhood with hide covered grab barBimini / Cockpit tent with panelsCockpit awningCockpit cushionsSystems12 volt system240v ring main: includes 3 double outlet sockets, plug for shore connection (16A), 1Kw immersion heaterLED cabin lighting throughout12 volt 10amp interior socket for low load applications2 x 12 volt 25 amp interior sockets for high load applications, fitted in cockpit4 x Mastervolt AGM batteries, 3 x 345ah for service, 1 x 115ah for engine startMASE IS 3.5 generator (230v 3KW) with ship/shore changeover switchMastervolt battery charger 12/50 amp smart 3 stepMastervolt Masterview Easy Battery MonitorGenerator, under navigation station seat4 x 45amp Solar panelsWind generatorFoldaway 12v electric fans to saloon and each cabinSchenker Watermaker (34ltr per hour)Pressurised hot and cold water systemTwo non-metallic fresh water tanks -
