Southerly 480Lifting Keel Technology

“ …Our sailing ground is going to be primarily the Bahamas, Caribbean and the gulf. A lot of that is shallow waters and marinas, one of the advantages of the Southerly is the variable draft keel. It is really cool that we can have a draft of less than a metre if we need it, it gives us the ability to get anywhere we want.”

“I wanted freedom,
open air, adventure.
I found it on the sea.”
