2013 Southerly 420

Design and Capability ‘Blue Dolphin’ is one of only a small number of Southerly 420s built by Northshore, making her a rare and desirable cruising yacht. Designed with a centre cockpit and a variable draft keel, she offers excellent performance alongside exceptional flexibility. As a result, she is equally suited to offshore passages and coastal cruising. Hull, Keel, and Sailing Performance The design features a well-balanced modern hull form, a long heeled waterline, and a broad transom, which together deliver good speed and a notably sea-kindly motion. The lifting keel allows access to a wide range of cruising grounds, while still maintaining strong windward performance when lowered. Refit and Condition ‘Blue Dolphin’ has recently completed a major refit programme. This work included a full hull repaint in Awlgrip ‘Ocean Blue’, along with the extensive rig and sail upgrades. As a result, she now presents in outstanding condition and is offered ready for immediate use.
