MANUFACTURER PROVIDED DESCRIPTION

​

The Southerly 35RS boasts an impressive sail plan; the fractional rig combines a self tacking furling jib and a large powerful mainsail with single line reefing. This ensures the yacht can be easily sailed by two people. 

​

The aft cockpit has been designed for maximum efficiency, safety and comfort, allowing the helmsman to make full use of the large 48” wheel for precise control of the light and responsive steering. Comfortable outboard seating, each side of the helm, provides a clear view forward from either tack. The main sheet track is positioned across the cockpit, within easy reach of the helmsman.

​

The forward part of the cockpit is deep, well protected and has comfortable seats, positioned at the correct width to brace yourself in a heavy sea. Laid teak to cockpit seats and cockpit sole are standard. On deck, the raised bulwarks, teak capping and uncluttered walkways provide safe and secure footing.

CONSTRUCTION

HULL

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 in 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 into the hull at the main layup stage.

• Hull Topsides: Southerly Blue gelcoat. Hull was professionally painted with Dupont 2K two part system during summer of 2016

• Underwater area: Clear gelcoat

• Bootop line: Ivory white gelcoat

• Styleline stripes: Ivory White vinyl

• Antifouling: Coppercoat

 

DECK

Hand laid up GRP sandwich type construction using balsa core stiffening, with plywood in high stress areas where fitting 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 the main bulkheads resulting in a strong and integrated unit.

• Deck: Ivory White gelcoat

• Teak capping rail to hull to deck joint upstand

• Moulded two tone non-slip finish in bisuit to ring decks

• Access to chain locker from foredeck

​

VARIABLE DRAFT KEEL

The fixed ballast is an iron casting which acts as the 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. There is a keel control and gauge showing keel position fitted at the cockpit helm position. A removeable stainless steel pin is used to enable the keel to be locked in the "up" position.
