Produced by the British builder Northshore Yachts, the Southerly 95 belongs to a family of sailboats long celebrated for their innovative lifting keel systems, a hallmark of the Southerly brand. This design philosophy makes the 95 particularly well suited to sailors who want the flexibility to explore shallow tidal waters, drying harbours, and coastal anchorages that would be off-limits to conventional deep-keel vessels, without sacrificing genuine offshore capability when the keel is lowered. As with other boats in the Southerly range, the 95 is firmly oriented toward comfortable cruising rather than racing, appealing to owners who prioritise liveability, practical seamanship, and the freedom to venture into diverse cruising grounds. The lifting keel arrangement also allows the boat to take the ground safely, a useful trait for those cruising areas with significant tidal ranges such as the English Channel or the east coast of the United Kingdom. While detailed specifications are limited, the Southerly 95 carries the brand's well-earned reputation for thoughtful engineering and strong build quality, making it a compelling choice for the serious coastal and bluewater cruising sailor.
