Performance, quality, and sheer luxury are rooted in the DNA of the Southerly 48, as you would expect from a team with the experience and expertise of those at Ocean Shipyard. An imposing design beautifully styled, sleek, powerful, and thoroughly modern, her quality of construction and finish stands out amongst the mass of production boats. She is a testament to the proudest traditions of British luxury yacht building. An exceptional yacht that will be enjoyed and appreciated by the whole crew.
The Southerly 48, built with a variable draft swing keel, twin rudder arrangement, and substantial skeg, provides the impressive stability and performance required for a bluewater sailing yacht. While at the same time allowing for exploring of anchorages and harbors no other boat this size could access, this is thanks to the just 3' 3" draft when the keel is fully up.
The Southerly range includes the Southerly 42 and Southerly 48. Each yacht is built to order.

Hull, Deck and Swing Keel
The Southerly 48, crafted by Ocean Shipyard, is designed and built to UKCA and EU Category A (Ocean) certification. The boat is supplied with a one year manufacturer's warranty and the hull is guaranteed against osmosis for five years.
Hull: Heavy duty composite molding, hand laid to Ocean Shipyard’s precise laminating system incorporating multi-axial and unidirectional reinforcements. The keel box is an integral part of the hull lay-up and sandwich construction stiffening runs the entire length of the hull topsides. All main bulkheads are bonded and laminated into the hull and deck. The hull and deck are molded with white gelcoat as standard, with boot top and cavita line detailing on the hull.
Southerly Variable Draft Swing Keel: The fixed ballast is an iron casting which acts as a grounding plate and stiffener for the keel and housing assembly. It is fitted into a recess in the hull in the area of the keel box with stainless steel bolts. The aerofoil shaped keel is cast iron and incorporates a stainless-steel pivot at the leading edge. The keel is raised and lowered by a dyneema pennant and hydraulic ram powered by an electrically driven pump with a hand operated back-up. All hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance. Electric keel control and keel position gauge fitted at the helm. There are additional electric and manual controls located next to the keel. A stainless steel locking pin secures the keel in the up position.
Hand laid composite sandwich type construction using foam core stiffening. The deck is mechanically fastened and bonded to the hull through the entire length and to all main bulkheads resulting in a strong and integrated unit. Deep foredeck sail locker with access to a chain locker. Composite carbon reinforced arch.
Opening deck hatches and glazed opening ports of various sizes. Deck saloon windows and hull ports are tinted. Toughened glass, bonded into recesses in deck moldings. Fixed ventilators throughout deck
