The Southerly 105 from 1980 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven British deck-saloon cruiser with most of the demanding refurbishment already completed. Often considered the better-sailing sibling of the Southerly 115, she combines excellent offshore capability with exceptional access to shallow waters thanks to her lifting swing-keel and daggerboard system. The central cockpit, protected by a hard top, offers outstanding security and a near-panoramic 180° view, while the deck saloon is flooded with light through newly installed windows all around. Mechanically and structurally, the boat has been carefully upgraded with a strong focus on reliability. The keel and daggerboard have been completely removed, serviced, treated against corrosion, and repainted, and a new electric lifting system has been installed. The Yanmar 3GH engine has undergone a thorough service including gearbox, cooling system, exhaust, and cabling, and the engine room has been reorganized and sound-insulated. Inside, the aft and rear cabins are fully renewed with new mattresses, while the saloon awaits final finishing touches following recent works. With modern navigation electronics, renewable energy sources, and a solid refit base, this Southerly 105 is an honest project yacht, close to completion and ideal for an owner who wants to put the final details in place and create a capable, character-filled cruising vessel.
