This is a prime example of the Southerly 135RS built by Northshore Yachts at the Shipyard in Itchenor, with fitted with an extensive list of equipment for long term cruising. She is the ultimate long distance blue water cruising yacht, with the variable draft Swing Keel, enabling her to reach shallow bays and harbours that fixed fin keel yachts can only pass by.
Hull Construction
Heavy duty GRP moulding, hand laid up to Northshore’s Nordseal laminating system
incorporating multi-axial and unidirectional reinforcements. Thickness increases
progressively towards the keel area. The keel box is an integral part of the hull layup
and sandwich construction stiffening runs the entire length of the hull topsides.
All main bulkheads are bonded into the hull at main lay-up stage. The engine bearers are also an integral part of the hull structure.
Topsides gel coat: Stars and Stripes Blue LR14401(Painted Cobalt Blue 2022)

Deck Construction
Hand laid up GRP. Sandwich type construction using balsa core stiffening, with plywood in high stress areas where fittings are positioned. Heavily stressed areas are additionally reinforced with unidirectional glass reinforcement. The deck is bonded to the hull through the entire length and to all main bulkheads resulting in a strong and integrated unit. Teak capping rail to hull to deck joint upstand. Access to chain locker from foredeck. Moulded non-slip finish to ring deck.

Swing Keel
The fixed ballast is an iron casting which acts as a grounding plate and as transverse stiffening for the keel unit. It is fitted into a recess in the hull in the area of the keel box
with stainless steel bolts. The aerofoil Swing Keel is cast iron and incorporates a stainless steel pivot at the leading edge. The Swing Keel is raised and lowered by a hydraulic ram powered by an electrically driven pump with a hand operated back-up. All
hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance. Keel control and gauge showing keel
position fitted at wheel pedestal Removable stainless steel pin, positioned to enable the keel to be locked in the ‘up’ position
