European Premiere of the Southerly 57RS

Superyacht designers, Dubois Naval Architects have been commissioned to work alongside Northshore’s design team, to create the new flagship of the Southerly range -  the new Southerly 57RS will be closely followed by a 67ft and 53ft sister ships.

Innovative design, contemporary styling, powerful sailing performance, superior build quality and luxurious accommodation are all hallmarks of the New Southerly 57RS.

This ultimate blue water cruiser offers the very best in cruising yacht design. The hull is characterised by a long waterline, fine entry and beam carried aft to ensure the highest degree of performance, comfort, stability and safety.

The aft cockpit is extremely spacious, yet secure, with comfortable seating and a large cockpit table for entertaining guests in style. The optional mainsheet arch keeps the cockpit clear and uncluttered, whilst also providing the frame for a bimini, for use in hot climates. A glass windscreen can provide protection from the elements.

The twin wheeled helming position allows the helmsman to enjoy the powerful performance of the yacht, with dedicated areas for sail controls and sailing short handed. Further seating aft allow for guests to relax in comfort, whilst enjoying all round views.

The New Southerly 57RS is primarily designed for easy handling, and can be sailed by just two people. The tall powerful rig with swept back keeps the yacht sailing fast, with minimum effort. The double headsail is suitable for most wind conditions and sailing environments; the self tacking jib allows you to sail easily on short tacks without any effort - ideal for coastal cruising. The overlapping genoa enhances upwind performance in light airs, and together, the double headsail is perfect for down wind trade wind sailing. An optional gennaker can also be flown from a hydraulic carbon bowsprit.

The Southerly 57RS offers a real benefit for owners looking to extend their time on the water with the use of a tender.  As an option, the fold down transom door, discreetly hides garaging for a Williams Turbojet 285. The push button roller system allows easy deployment and powered recovery of the tender. The interior layout of two double cabins aft accommodates the garaging.

The standard specification includes the unique Swing Keel for deep draught performance, yet at the touch of a button, the keel can be raised for sailing in shallow waters. A fixed keel option is also available.

Stylish with sleek lines; the raised pilot house offers a light and airy interior whilst providing excellent vision from inside. Designed for living onboard for long periods, the well planned layout combines practicality and comfort with luxurious finishes and fittings of the highest quality.  The large raised saloon seating area takes full advantage of the panoramic views and the galley is well equipped to cater for a large number of guests. The navigation area also enjoys good views whilst being in easy communication with the cockpit. The aft master stateroom is supremely spacious with ensuite facilities. Two further double cabins provide good accommodation for guests and crew. A fourth cabin can be included if the tender / garage option is chosen.

The Southerly 57RS is supplied with CE certification, built to EU specification and conforms to Lloyds and RCD category A.
