VESSEL WALKTHROUGH

As in most Southerly models, this 38 has large deck salon windows providing panoramic views. These large windows as well as the numerous overhead hatches give you a wonderful feeling of light and of space. Partially reflective tinted glass gives privacy while also deflecting the sun's rays. 2 cabin layout and convertible salon provides sleeping accommodations for 7. Cherry interior joinery and complimentary ultraleather upholstery enhances the feel of the interior.

Main Salon

When you step inside, you enter a bright and airy interior. The large deck salon windows in the raised coachroof provide panoramic views, giving an instant feeling of space. Partially reflective tinted glass gives privacy. Opening hatches provide cross ventilation. There is good headroom throughout. On both the port and the starboard sides are settees. In the middle is a  large salon table with 2 leaves that fold down. When the leaves are open, this will service both settees, allowing for quite a few people at your table. Lots of storage is found under the seating and outboard in lockers. Lee cloths are on both settees. Concertina type blinds on the deck salon windows add privacy and provide shade when desired.

Nav

The chart table is to starboard and is in a raised position to take advantage of the panoramic views. For additional details see "Navigation and Electronics" below.

HULL, DECK & EQUIPMENT

After 36 years and over 1,100 Southerly’s sailing the world, the Southerly swing keel is the leader in design and engineering. The weight of the grounding plate and the keel improves the righting moment, the safety, the stability and the performance of the yacht.

Hull

Hand laid up heavy duty GRP molding, incorporating multi-axial and unidirectional reinforcements for strength and impact resistance. The hull is cored above the water line for insulation and weight reduction and is solid glass below. Thickness increases progressively toward the keel area. The keel box is an integral part of the hull layup. There is a substantial skeg fitted on centerline to protect the propeller and rudders when the yacht is dried out

Swing Keel

The Swing Keel (this is not a centerboard) can be easily raised and lowered with just the push of a button and stopped anywhere in between. The push button control as well as a gauge to show the keel position is fitted at the pedestal. When lowered, the keel is an impressive 8' 6", considerably deeper than all other similar sized cruising yachts. The additional draft enhances both performance and stability. When raised, you now have an extremely shoal draft boat with a draft of only 2’ 8”. Just imagine where you can go!

Deck

Teak decks and raised teak capped bulwarks provide extra comfort and safety. Forward is a stainless steel stem head fitting with twin bow rollers and a windlass. Deck Salon windows are partially reflective tinted glass which provides privacy while also deflecting the heat from the sun.

Cockpit

Large cockpit with comfortable seating is great for entertaining or while underway. The cockpit table has folding leaves, an inside storage area and a very safe and convenient handrail. Beneath the table are contoured footrests for comfort and security while heeling. The aft part of the cockpit is designed to give the helmsman the very best position to steer from. Foot wells for bracing, and comfortable seating both behind and outboard of each helm station offer safety at sea, while giving a clear view to the bow, while on either tack. With twin wheels, the cockpit is very easy to move around and also to access the transom with steps to a sugar scoop. Floors and seats are teak for safety. There is a very large and deep lazarette locker to starboard and another locker to port.
