Owner Experience Review
Owners and reviewers use the SOUTHERLY49 RSTfor bluewater passagemaking and extended family cruising. The three-cabin/two-head arrangements and a generous forward owner’s stateroom with island double and ensuite make long stays aboard practical. Cockpit and deck ergonomics are consistently described as seamanlike, with twin helms that keep visibility clear and make the boat manageable for a couple, and the galley/interior are laid out with long passages in mind.
Underway, balance and handling receive high marks. With the swing keel fully down (around 10+ feet of draft), the 49 RSTpoints well and feels composed to weather; owners and community notes highlight a clear step up in upwind performance and seakeeping in deep-draft mode. Raise the keel and you trade some pointing ability and a different helm feel for access to skinny anchorages, canals, and even the option to dry out upright—summed up by one comment about getting closer to the beach than the cats, then dropping the board for the passage home.
Maintenance expectations are clear: the swing-keel mechanism, its ram/wires, and keel box deserve periodic inspection and service, and surveyors often recommend a full service of the system. Community advice highlights using surveyors and technicians familiar with SOUTHERLY’s swing-keel designs. Beyond that focus, there isn’t a widely reported single recurring failure pattern—routine systems care applies as on any serious cruiser.
Pros and Cons
- Variable-draft swing keel opens up very shallow anchorages, canals, and the ability to dry out upright.
- With the keel fully down (≈10'+), the boat points well and shows composed, seakindly upwind behavior.
- Three-cabin/two-head layout, forward owner’s suite, and twin-helm cockpit suit long-range family or couple cruising.
- Swing-keel mechanism requires periodic inspection and servicing of the ram/wires and keel box.
- With the keel raised, owners note reduced pointing ability and a different helm feel.
- Pre-purchase and ongoing work benefit from surveyors and technicians experienced with SOUTHERLYswing-keel systems.
