This rare, one-owner, Southerly 42RST is the very desirable two cabin version that has been updated recently with new sails, new hull paint, new canvas, new engine mounts, new dripless shaft seal and a new cutlass bearing. Delivered in the spring of 2012, the current owners took delivery in the UK and sailed it back to the western hemisphere via the ARC, where they placed second in class. Professionally maintained and ready for new owners and new adventures.

HULL, DECK AND SWING KEEL

The Southerly 42RST is supplied with CE certification is built to EU specifications and conforms to RCD, design category A. 

HULL:

Heavy duty composite molding, incorporating an anti-print through and moisture barrier, multi-axial, and unidirectional reinforcements with vinylester laminating resin and isophthalic gelcoat. The keel box is an integral part of the hull lay-up and sandwich construction stiffening runs the entire length of the hull topsides. All main bulkheads are bonded into the hull at main lay-up stage along with a stiffening grillage of transverse frames and longitudinal stringers. The engine bearers are an integral part of the hull structure.

• Southerly (Bahama) Blue hull paint with painted red/white logo/stripes (new 2021) Awlcraft 2000
• Bottom paint (NOV 2022) Sea Hawk Bio-cop
• Swim platform with storage, Weaver Snap Davits for dinghy
• Bow thruster (motor rebuilt 2023)

DECK:

Hand laid composite sandwich construction, with carbon reinforcements. All strong points and stress areas are strengthened with carbon reinforcements. The deck is bonded to the hull through the entire length and to all main bulkheads resulting in a strong and integrated unit.

• Biscuit and white two-tone deck
• Teak cockpit seating and flooring
• Integrated teak toe rail reinforcing the hull to deck joint
• Molded non-slip finish to ring deck and coachroof
• Access to chain locker from foredeck

VARIABLE DRAFT KEEL:

The 42 features the highly developed Swing Keel which gives the freedom and versatility to sail in almost any waters. With the keel lowered, the deep draft makes for fast, stable cruising in a seaway. At the ‘touch of a button’ the keel can be raised to give a shallow draft of just 0.84m (2' 9") - perfect for shallow water exploring.

The fixed ballast is an iron casting which acts as a grounding plate and stiffener for the keel and housing assembly. It is fitted into a recess in the hull in the area of the keel box with stainless steel bolts. The aerofoil shaped keel is cast iron and incorporates a stainless-steel pivot at the leading edge. The keel is raised and lowered by a dyneema pennant and hydraulic ram powered by an electrically driven pump with a hand operated back-up. All hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance.

• Keel control and gauge showing keel position fitted at the helm
• Removable stainless-steel pin, positioned to enable the keel to be locked in the ‘up' position
• Manual rocker switch at pin position for fine adjustment

A double walkway around the table keeps the cockpit clear for easy access. The aft part of the cockpit is designed to give the helmsman the very best position to the helm.
