A propos

The Southerly 28, was the design that started the now renowned range of lifting keel cruisers from Southerly. A total of 148 Southerly 28's were built and gained the reputation, 'the boat that floats on a damp lawn', due to the shallow draft once the keel is retracted. This made the boats a popular choice for drying harbours, and use on inland waterways. To add to this, she has a tabernacle mast base fitted, mast support and lowering gear, making it simple to lower the mast for use on rivers and canals. The boat has had some meaningful investment over the years with a Beta 20 fitted in 2005, new mast and rigging in 2007, new fridge, oven and head sail, all added in 2020. The boat benefits from hot and cold water, a holding tank, 160w solar panel and Victron MPPT Smart Charging Bluetooth system. There is also a small solar panel for trickle charging the engine. The boat had Coppercoat antifoul applied in 2018, which has a life expectance of 10 years. A well provisioned boat, ideal for prolonged stays aboard, coastal cruising or indeed longer passage making. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered. Register with Boatshed to see 63 extra photos of this Southerly 28 .
