INTERIOR LAYOUT

MANUFACTURER PROVIDED DESCRIPTION

​

The interior of this impressive yacht has an atmosphere of light and spaciousness, whilst also capturing the feeling of snugness. The raised saloon is a welcomed feature within this 45ft yacht, with comfortable seating and excellent all-round vision. The navigation area, raised and to starboard, again shares the panoramic views. Ample headroom in all three cabins is a principle feature on the Southerly 135RS. The spacious aft cabin has plenty of storage, ensuite facilities, plus the additional storage/workshop/utility cabin. The forecabin has twin “V” berths converting to a double berth with shared en-suite facilities. The portside midships cabin has twin bunk berths. The linear galley has extensive work surfaces, making good practical use of every space available.

CONSTRUCTION

HULL

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.

DECK

Hand laid up GRP. Sandwich type construction using balsa core stiffening, with plywood in high stress areas where fittings are positioned.

VARIABLE DRAFT KEEL

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.
