Manufacturer Provided Description

Since the original Southerly 115 series I was introduced into the Southerly range in 1983, she has outrivalled many yachts of her size. Following on from the series II, and series III, the new Southerly 115 benefits from over twenty years of continuous development. Combined with the existing Rob Humphrey's Swing Keel' the new twin rudder configuration and increased mainsail area provide outstanding sailing performance and improved handling.

Walk Through

When you enter this yacht through the companion way you are greeted by an open and airy galley to port and the nav station to starboard with full views outside.  There are stainless steel grab rails everywhere, the American Cherry joinery is stunning, and storage abounds.  Concertina blinds which are extremely functional, cover the raised salon windows.  There are custom curtains on all the ports and even a nice area starboard of the companion way used as a wet locker.  For more details on the galley and nav station see below.

Forward of the galley and down a step is the large salon to port with generous "U" shaped seating and a settee to starboard. The table pivots and also raises to the ceiling to allow easy access to the port settee at both the forward and aft ends. The table also lowers to convert to a double berth and can expand to allow additional seating for dining on the starboard side. Two large storage areas are found under both the starboard and port settees.  The starboard seat converts into a single berth by removing the aft vertical cushion to reveal a foot well.

Forward of the salon is the forward cabin.  It boasts two single berths with storage outboard and under. To port there is an outboard shelf and to starboard there is a large pull out storage bin. Forward there are two drop lockers.  This space also offers excellent lighting with an opening foredeck hatch with screen /shade blind and two side ports. The two over and under berths are 78" in length.
