She has a pilot house with interior steering, and a cast iron ballast plate protecting the keel and bottom when grounding.

The Southerly 100 was introduced in 1983, being a slightly updated version of the 1979 Dick Cartlatively er Southerly 95, itself a development of the original John Bennett designed Southerly 28 from 1974.

The late Dick Carter ran a US-based yacht design and production company called Carter Offshore, the staff of which included Doug Peterson, Chuck Paine, and Yves-Marie de Tanton, all of whom later went on to set up their own highly regarded design businesses. Carter Offshore mostly designed racing boats, some of them very successful indeed, including the drop keel "Red Rooster" which won the Fastnet Race in 1969.

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 1’ 10”, but with the keel down she draws a healthy 5’10” and can give a good account of herself to windward. The inevitably shallow rudder can however sometimes cause poor control offwind in a large quartering sea - a price many owners are happy to pay for the advantages of very shallow draught.

The wedge-shaped drop keel sits in a massive steel grounding plate, which not only protects it but also acts as a substantial contribution to the ballast. Southerlys were until relatively recently still in production, though the smallest model since the early 2000s was the Southerly 32 at around £200,000+. From around 2017 they concentrated on larger models only, mainly the Southerly 48 and 54.

In 2013/14 the keel mechanism was serviced by Northshore. This yacht originally had only the

manual hydraulic pump to raise the keel: the owner also fitted an electric pump in 2015.

The saloon table has an extra section (here removed) to widen it to the starboard side settee

The boat has been rewired: at right are the main switches inside a wooden box under the interior helm seat

The forecabin berths are approximately 6' 4" long. The saloon table drops to make a double berth

6' 6" long by 4' 4" wide aft, with infill cushions, and the quarterberth is 6' 3" long.

There is also the starboard settee berth which is about 5' 9" long.

The heads compartment has a Vaillant on-demand gas water heater with a vent to the coachroof above

The owner of this boat has spent around ten years getting everything just as he wanted it,

but now finds health issues are restricting his ability to sail her. She is a

very well sorted example of these very versatile cruising boats.
