The Southerly 100 was introduced in 1983, being a slightly
updated version of the 1979 Dick Carter Southerly 95, itself
a development of the original John Bennett designed Southerly
28 from 1974.
Southerlys are renowned for their ability to float “on
a damp lawn” and with the keel raised by the electrically
powered hydraulic ram she only draws 2’3”, but
with the keel down she draws a healthy 5’10” and
can give a good account of herself to windward. The keel sits
in a massive steel grounding plate, which not only protects
it but also acts as a substantial contribution to the ballast.
Southerlys are still in production, though the smallest model
is now the Southerly 115.
