Broker's Comments
Southerly are incredible boats getting the perfect balance between comfort and performance. The 38 has a serious ‘big boat’ feel to it with its impressive use of space.
This example has been well looked after and boasts an impressive inventory including an array of top of the range navigation equipment, twin foresails, bow & stern thruster and an upgraded 56hp engine to name but a few.
The huge boost for southerly is having a lifting keel system making the draft as low as 0.8m meaning that exploring the shallower water as well as beaching is a real option.
If you’re in the market for a serious cruiser that will please any experienced or inexperienced sailor then this Southerly 38 will be perfect.
