Overview
‘Blue Dolphin’ is one of just a few Southerly 420 cruising yachts built by Northshore. This fine example offers outstanding sailing performance with easy handling by just two people from the centre cockpit. The spacious interior is fitted out to a very high standard and comes with many extras, to facilitate extended voyaging.
The manufacturer’s description highlights a modern well-balanced hull form, long heeled waterline and broad transom, which provide thoroughbred performance and a sea-kindly motion. The Southerly 420 certainly offers outstanding versatility, with a variable draft keel giving the freedom to sail in a variety of waters.
With her flexible sail plan, secure cockpit, autopilot, generator, watermaker, wind generator and solar power, Blue Dolphin offers serious blue water potential. Her superb living accommodation and a lifting keel also make her ideal for coastal cruising.
