Call for Price

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
