Let me introduce you to "Chantelle IV, " a 2009 Southerly 38 sailing yacht with quality construction, design, and layout. She is one of only two Southerly's for sale in Australia (at the date of listing), and for good reason - those who own them very rarely let them go.
The Southerly 38 features the world-renowned swing keel system, which can be raised and lowered at the touch of a button. You will be able to explore rivers and anchorages where a standard fixed fin keel yacht dare not go. With the keel raised, the Southerly 38 needs less than 3 feet of water to float, which means you can beach her on the grounding plate, have a picnic on the beach, wait until low tide, and give her copper-coated hull a quick once-over.
This 2-owner vessel has been meticulously maintained inside and out and is a credit to her current owners. She has a 3.97m beam that starts at the mast and runs all the way to the dual helm cockpit. The 38ft yacht has the feel of a 42-footer, which could be why she was optioned with a bow thruster.
