The Southerly 115 stands as one of the most commercially successful expressions of Northshore Yachts’ commitment to "goanywhere" cruising. Designed by the esteemed Dick Carter and introduced in the early 1980s, the 115 was a significant evolution of the earlier Southerly 105, offering a larger, more robust platform for coastal and offshore passagemaking. The vessel’s defining characteristic is its swingkeel system, which allows the draft to be reduced from a deepwater 8' 2" (2.49m) to a remarkable 2' 4" (0.71m) at the touch of a button. This capability, paired with a heavy castiron grounding plate that protects the hull and allows the boat to sit upright on the sand, transformed the 115 into a staple of the British and European cruising scenes, where tidal estuaries and shallow drying harbors are commonplace.
