Quick Look: Southerly 38

• By Jeremy McGeary
• Updated: August 27, 2008

Northshore Yachts has steadily toiled in its chosen niche for several decades now, so that its new Southerly 38 has a great deal of experience behind it. The niche is that of the swing-keel, raised-saloon cruising boat-it offers deep-draft sailing performance and shallow-draft harbor access while providing those inside with a panoramic view of the outside.

Designer Stephen Jones has given the Southerly 38 twin rudders, the better to steer her with while honoring the shoal-draft commitment, and mainsheet traveler tag lines led to both of the twin helms, the better to control her with. A self-tacking jib further simplifies the business of sailing.

Belowdecks, Northshore offers a choice of wood trim and allows some modifications to the basic layout, which has a V-berth cabin forward, another double cabin aft, the galley to port of the companionway and Southerly’s trademark elevated nav desk to starboard. The saloon is full of natural light and the settees are set up to be sea berths.

Southerly 38

Southerly 38 is a 39 ′ 4 ″ / 12 m monohull sailboat designed by Stephen Jones and built by Northshore Yachts starting in 2008.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

A fixed keel version also available. Draft: 6.33’/1.93m Later renamed SOUTHERLY 390.

Southerly 32 review: one of the most sought after cruisers

• David Harding
• December 14, 2023

Combining space, power and pace with shallow draught, the Southerly 32 is one of the most sought-after cruisers of her size. David Harding finds out more

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

Owning a boat that can float in knee-deep water opens up all sorts of possibilities. Whether that matters to you depends on the sort of sailing you do, but for some people it’s fundamental.

In fact, shallow draught is so fundamental to so many that some boatbuilders, such as Parker, Southerly, Alubat (with the Ovni range) and Allures built (or have built) their names and reputations on the ability of their boats to go where few others can.

In the case of Southerly, for a long time their ‘wedge-of-cheese’ keels and shallow single rudders meant compromises in performance, so they mostly found favour among cruising folk who were prepared to trade speed, power and pointing for creek-crawling convenience.

Then all that began to change, to the point where the latest generation of Southerlys, designed by Ed Dubois, Rob Humphreys and Stephen Jones, were true performance cruisers that could more than hold their own against many fin-keelers while still allowing their owners to nudge the bow into the beach and wade ashore.

Smallest of these was the Jones-designed Southerly 32, launched in 2007. Despite being the baby of the range, she was vast compared with a typical 32-footer of the day. Generous freeboard, a slightly raised coachroof and a broad stern made her extraordinarily roomy down below.

Back then, her stern was about as wide as they came, and it was too broad for Richard and Lynaire Readings. ‘We saw the Southerly 32 berthed stern-to in the marina at the boat show and we didn’t like it,’ said Richard.

They now own a Southerly 32. As he says, ‘We revised our opinion on that.’ In 2007, Richard and Lynaire weren’t seriously looking to buy a boat of that size or type. Having raced Wayfarers at Parkstone for many years, they had bought a twin-keeled Sadler 29. They wanted shallow draught and the ability to dry out upright, and the Sadler was a good first cruiser.

After a few years with Painted Lady , they moved to a Moody 336, also with twin keels, which gave them more space and longer legs for Channel crossings and cruises to the West Country while still allowing them to explore shallow waters.

Moving up – and down

Although the Moody suited them in many ways, Emmie wasn’t the easiest of boats to handle because of her masthead rig and large genoa. A good deal of physical effort was involved, and Richard and Lynaire reached a point where they wanted something easier.

It didn’t have to be any bigger for the two of them; just less tiring to sail and with enough space below decks to allow them to go cruising and to live aboard, mostly away from marinas, for six weeks over the summer.

It made life relatively easy that only one boat was on their list: the Southerly. They had looked over a Southerly 38 (too big) and sailed on a friend’s 35RS as well as a 110, so they were familiar with Southerly as a breed.

The self-tacking jib was a major attraction, together with the minimum draught of just 2ft 7in (0.8m) with the keel raised. Another requirement to simplify sail-handling was in-mast reefing. It’s not commonly seen on Southerly 32s, so they were pleased to find Flapjack , very close to Southerly’s home in Chichester.

Even better, Flapjack came with a whole host of extras including a bow-thruster (considered almost essential on a boat with twin rudders and a lifting keel) and an electric coachroof winch on the starboard side to handle the main and jib sheets. ‘We found a boat that had been well thought-out, well equipped and well looked after,’ said Richard.

Flapjack moved to her new home in Poole in 2019, just before lockdown. The timing meant that she was used less in the first couple of years than her new owners might have hoped but, since then, she has covered a good many miles along the south coast and proved to be exactly what Richard and Lynaire thought she would be.

Slightly shorter than the Moody and with a little less stowage, the Southerly 32 has nonetheless been more comfortable for living aboard and the swing keel has allowed them to continue to visit the shallow harbours, rivers, creeks and estuaries where they like to spend time. They have yet to cross to France in Flapjack but have the Scilly Isles in their sights for 2024. Wherever they go, they tend to choose quiet anchorages away from marinas and, with plenty of solar panels, are able to live independently for some time.

For Richard and Lynaire, cruising is not about bashing across miles of open ocean or through heavy conditions in order to get somewhere. They have a boat that’s capable of doing that and, as competitive dinghy sailors in their day, they know a lot more than many cruising sailors do about how to harness that capability. For them, the pleasure of cruising is in relatively gentle sailing and enjoying the tranquility of a remote anchorage.

The fact that the Southerly 32 can swallow miles quickly and efficiently is still important, however. Reaching those nice-to-be places would otherwise be impossible or would take a lot longer. A high-volume caravan that’s too slow to get out of its own way would be of little use.

The harder it blows

You don’t have to spend long sailing the Southerly 32 in any breeze to realise that she’s a fast and powerful performer. We stayed inside Poole Harbour on the day of our sail, because a brisk easterly would have made it lumpy in the bay and Flapjack is more accustomed to calmer waters and comfortable angles.

With the tide high and the worst of the summer traffic out of the way, we had a reasonable amount of water to play with even if it was hardly a test of seakeeping qualities and we couldn’t let the Southerly 32 get too settled in one direction before we had to tack.

In our favour we had the ability to bring the keel part-way up so we could sail in water that would have been too shallow for most 32ft performance cruisers. Of course, reduced draught meant increased leeway upwind, but as soon as we rejoined a channel we dropped the keel to regain our full draught of 7ft 4in (2.26m).

A well-established feature of the Southerlies is that they carry two-thirds of their cast iron ballast in the grounding plate. This is set flush into the bottom of the hull and provides protection against drying out on hard and lumpy surfaces. The rest of the ballast is in the high aspect-ratio keel, which swings up to leave a flush bottom.

Chainplates taken to the side of the coachroof allow an overlapping headsail to be used with tracks on the side decks. Photo: David Harding / SailingScenes.com

One effect of this arrangement is that raising the keel still leaves plenty of ballast low down for a good righting moment. Another is that there’s no need for the designer or builder to compromise the draught. When you can raise the keel at the touch of a button, you’re not bound by the same constraints as with a fixed fin.

With around 4ft 7in (1.4m) of keel projecting below the hull, it can be an efficient section, provide a lot of bite and place a healthy portion of the ballast respectably low, so as variable-draught solutions go it’s a pretty good one from the sailing perspective.

Sailing the Southerly 32 gently in a breeze that was gusting to around 20 knots, we left a few rolls of the mainsail inside the mast and clocked an easy 6.2-6.3 knots upwind. When a gust hits, the Southerly 32 is one of those rare boats that heels a little further and simply accelerates, with scarcely any change to the feel of the helm.

The boat can be sailed with the keel partially raised thanks to the ballast in the grounding plate. Photo: David Harding / SailingScenes.com

Weather helm is minimal. Twin rudders almost inevitably lead to more friction and less feedback than with a single rudder, and an autopilot adds drag. The steering is light and responsive nonetheless, and the balance such that the boat was happy to carry on in a straight line for some time if the wheel was let go.

Tacking with the self-tacker, is, of course, as simple as can be and that has made an enormous difference for Richard and Lynaire. The electric winch for the sheets helps too, even though it means having both main and jib sheets on the same side.

In light to moderate conditions with the wind a few degrees either side of the beam, Flapjack can often be seen sporting a gennaker. Set on a furling system, it can play a major role on a boat with a self-tacker or a blade headsail once the wind comes off the bow. ‘It almost doubles our boatspeed,’ says Richard.

Given her generous displacement the Southerly is unlikely to be a flyer in light airs, so extra canvas like this can help compensate for the area lost through having a self-tacker and in-mast reefing.

Go with the flow

After a tack, it helps to sail slightly deep to build up speed and re-establish good laminar flow over the keel. That apart, there’s little you need to think about except enjoying the sailing.

At the helm you have a comfortable seat outboard of the wheel either side. It’s a large single wheel, and that works because the cockpit doesn’t use the full beam of the boat. It leaves space for the side decks to run all the way to the transom, and makes the cockpit narrow enough to feel secure rather than like a dance floor. A folding wheel would simplify moving forward from the stern, and that has been considered on Flapjack .

Richard and Lynaire sail with the sprayhood up and also have a full cockpit tent for use at anchor, supported on a frame that runs across the boat above the helm station. Richard notes that you can’t reach the mainsheet from the helm, whereas the Southerly 38 has a German mainsheet system. In open water they mostly sail on the autopilot with a remote control, so it’s only potentially an issue when they’re sailing in confined waters. That said, the Southerly is so well mannered that you would rarely have to dump the mainsheet in a hurry to maintain control.

Below decks

The immediate impression below decks is of brightness, space and quality. The finish on Flapjack , as on many Southerlies, is in cherry. It’s a relatively soft wood that doesn’t always wear as well as some, but in this case it looks good, has worn well and incorporates nicely finished solid trim.

At the foot of the companionway steps, you’re at the highest point of the accommodation because the sole is also raised. From here you drop down a level forward into the main part of the saloon or aft into the heads and aft cabin.

From the galley to port and chart table to starboard by the companionway, you benefit most from the raised sole and the raised coachroof with its large windows. In the saloon, the keel case is neatly incorporated into the table and is remarkably unobtrusive. The forecabin – down another level – is comfortably proportioned but the aft cabin, abaft the galley, is the master cabin. It has direct access to the heads via a stoop-through door beneath the bridgedeck.

Although Richard and Lynaire think the stowage could be better, there’s more than on many boats. Headroom and berth lengths are both generous on the whole and it’s clear that this is a boat on which you could live comfortably for several weeks at a time.

Southerly 32 surveyor’s view

Ben Sutcliffe-Davies , Marine Surveyor and full member of the Yacht Brokers Designers & Surveyors Association (YDSA)

Northshore has produced many reliably built yachts. Shallow draught yachts are always something of a compromise, but the design of the cast iron grounding plate is reasonably reliable in many locations around the UK, especially for tidal rivers with soft mud and softish sand like on the East Coast. However, I’ve attended insurance claims in the Welsh estuaries where yachts regularly ground in poor weather on harder river beds of hard sand and shingle. If looking to buy one, always ask where she has been moored. The cast iron keel system needs servicing every 5-10 years, so check its history.

Unfortunately, I’ve also had various models all suffer GRP keel box failures. In poor weather, the corners of the GRP can work into the GRP box. Try and look around the internal GRP recessed boxing. Fastenings are very hard to access but ensure they are all clean and dry, with no ‘tea’ staining to suggest weeping. Also look carefully at the bonding of framework supporting the keel box in the bilges. A heavy grounding can occasionally detach this.

Check the rudder blades are in good order and undamaged from regular groundings. I’ve seen several with slightly bent stocks. The decks are balsa-cored, which is fine as long as moisture has been kept out. Common areas of issue are around the mast wiring deck glands. Also look carefully around the jib track anchor points. Finally, the teak cappings stand slightly proud and can suffer from damage from the lifting strops when being lifted out.

Southerly 38

Posted in: Plymouth | By: plymouth

Southerly 38 Fresh To The Market

She is powered by a Yanmar 3JH5E 39hp diesel engine. The engine has been annually serviced by a marine trade professional. She is shaft driven via reduction gearbox to Maxprop feathering, three blade propeller.

The boat is largely original as she was launched in 2011 and all aspects of this boat are in superb condition. She has been very lightly used. The sails are of real quality being from the North Sails loft and are still in like new condition.

There is a great deal of life left in the running and standing rigging! She benefits from having an electric Lewmar winch in the cockpit to help with hoisting the sails and has adequate manual self tailing winches throughout the cockpit for sail handling.

Bettina will sleep up to 7 people across 3 cabins (including the saloon). There is a V-berth in the forecabin, three berths in the saloon and a double island berth in the aft cabin. She has a generous galley and has two separate heads, forward and aft. There is ample internal space internally, the Southerly 38 is a big 38 footer, that feel more like a 40+ foot yacht!

The Southerly 38 comes with a number of extras from the factory, such as; stern thruster, full cockpit enclosure, liferaft, man overboard crane, electric anchor windlass, stainless steel bowsprit for a cruising chute and a North Sails furling cruising chute.

The Southerly 38 is from a stable of boats built by Northshore that have throughout time proven a very popular choice. The performance and versatility that you get from Southerly is unrivaled by any other brand in its class.

The cockpit is superbly designed, g iving sa fe seating when sailing and is perfect for after sailing social and dining activities.

Her sailing performance is excellent and others of her class have cruised extensively and even won their class in the ARC Trans Atlantic event. She carries little or no weather helm when heeled and is very responsive. Her sail carrying ability is very good making her a safe yacht that be cruised seriously if required.

The Southerly 38 has a swing keel system and can be lifted at the touch of a button. You will be able to explore rivers and anchorages where a fin keel yacht dare not go. With the keel raised, she only needs 2' 8" of water to float and can dry out upright on her grounding plate.  We would definitely recommend you inspect this yacht.

Eclipse is an immaculate swing-keeled Southerly 38 from 2013, very nicely specified and beautifully maintained. Ivory white hull and deck, teak decks and cockpit, copper coated. Upgraded interior upholstery and gorgeous Crown Cut Sapele interior. Upgraded North Sails fully-battened mainsail and self-tacking jib. Yanmar 39hp engine with 550 hours use, serviced annually. Electric Lewmar halyard winch. Electric windlass. Bow and stern thrusters. Many other upgrades. Tender and outboard included. For sale by her original owners due to changing priorities. There will not be a better Southerly 38 out there.

The Southerly 38 boasts an impressive sail plan; the tall fractional rig, combines a large mainsail and a self tacking furling jib for powerful windward performance.

The spacious cockpit offers comfortable seating around both helm stations with room for the Raymarine instrumentation. The mainsheet track is located on the pilot house coachroof with control lines fed back to both helmsman’s stations, allowing the yacht to be easily managed. The steering is direct with minimum backlash with semi-balanced twin rudders to give instantly responsive steering and precise directional stability. The forward part of the cockpit is wide with generous seating for socialising. A teak cockpit table with fold down leaves offers dinette facilities, whilst also providing a foot brace and hand rail, when the yacht is heeled.

The Southerly 38 features the highly developed Swing Keel which gives the freedom and versatility to sail in almost any waters. With the keel lowered, the variable draught of 8’6’’ (2.59m) makes for fast, serious blue water cruising. At the ‘touch of a button’ the keel can be raised to give a shallow draught of just 2’8’’ (0.82m) - perfect for sailing in shallow water.

Once you step inside, you enter a beautiful interior with quality joinery and luxury but practical soft materials.. There is well appointed accommodation with good headroom throughout. The lower saloon seating area provides a focal point for guests, permitting comfortable dining. The open galley is well equipped and enjoys good views. The chart table has good visibility and is in easy communication with the cockpit. The aft cabin is a particular feature on a yacht of this size, and boasts a large centreline double berth with seating to each side, plenty of stowage and ensuite facilities. The forward cabin has good headroom with twin v berths that can convert to a double berth with ensuite facilities.

Having developed the specification of the vessel and owned her from new, we have enjoyed several seasons of sailing on Eclipse but family commitments and changing priorities have led us to the reluctant decision to sell our lovely yacht.

Eclipse is a spacious yacht offering excellent accommodation. She is easy to sail with a self-tacking headsail and all lines controlled from the cockpit. The ' push button ' lifting keel is a great benefit both in terms of access to tidal harbours and the ability to take the ground when anchored or moored. Eclispe sails extremely well and she has a solid feel which instills confidence in her ability to handle the prevailing conditions.

We have enjoyed many trips along the south coast and in the Solent as well as several Channel crossings to France and the Channel Islands. Eclipse takes Channel crossings in her stride.
