With just one previous owner from new, this is a prime example of the Southerly 135RS built by Northshore Yachts here at the Shipyard in Itchenor. 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. This yacht has received an extensive internal and external overhaul during the 2023/2024 winter season returning her to an extremely high standard of finish and therefore we highly recommend viewing this prestige vessel.

INTERIOR ACCOMMODATION

INTERIOR LAYOUT

135 RS C-plan.jpg
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

Heavy duty GRP moulding, hand laid up to Northshore’s laminating system, incorporating multi axial and unidirectional reinforcements. Thickness increased progressively towards the keel area. 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 glassed into the hull at the main layup stage. The engine bearers are also an integral part of the hull structure.

  • Hull Colour: Pure White 337 Gelcoat

  • Below waterline: Clear Gelcoat

  • Style lines: Graphite

  • Boot-top lines: Graphite

DECK

Hand laid up GRP. Sandwich type construction with 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. Moulded in non-slip surface on ring deck.

  • Teak capping rail to hull to deck joint upstand

  • Teak laid ring deck, aft coachroof and forward coachroof.

  • Gel Colour: Pure White 337 Gelcoat

VARIABLE DRAFT 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 by means of 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 the hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance. The keel control and gauge showing keel position is fitted at the wheel pedestal. A removeable stainless steel pin can be positioned to enable the keel to be locked in the ‘up’ position.
