SOUTHERLY 35RS
?The established features of the Southerly sets very high standards of performance and comfort which appeals to family and cruising yachtsmen alike. The plumb bow and fast lines of the Rob Humphrey’s hull, combined with the twin rudder configuration, provides powerful windward performance, and makes the Southerly 35RS a fun and easy yacht to sail.

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. For off wind sailing in light airs, an optional gennaker can be flown from a short, removable stainless steel bowsprit.

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 caping and uncluttered
walkways provide safe and secure footing.

Once you step inside, you enter a light and airy interior. The pilot house windows in the raised coachroof provide panoramic views, giving an instant feeling of space. Partially reflective tinted glass gives privacy whilst also deflecting the heat from the sun’s rays and opening hatches provide cross ventilation for warm weather. There is well appointed accommodation with good headroom throughout.

The raised saloon seating area provides a focal point, permitting comfortable dining whilst at anchor or moored, and taking full advantage of the all-round views.

The linear galley is well equipped and situated forward at a lower level.  Large work surfaces with a stainless steel grabrail provide safety whilst cooking at sea. A fully gimballed oven, stainless steel twin sinks, front loading stainless steel fridge and plenty of storage space provides good facilities.

The chart table is in the proven, high level position for good visibility and easy communication with the cockpit.

The spacious aft cabin has a large double berth offset to starboard. There is plenty of storage including a vanity unit.

The forward cabin is a good size, with twin v berths that can convert to a double.
