Southerly 38 Yacht Swing Keel

Let me introduce you to "Chantelle IV", a 2009 Southerly 38 sailing yacht with Swing Keel and quality construction, design, and layout. She is one of only two Southerlys 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.

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.

Boasting 6 berths, two in the fore-cabin, two in the aft cabin, and 2 in the saloon. Additionally, there is a full-length single L-shaped settee to port and a full-length single settee to starboard, with a folding table. There is plenty of room for entertaining both inside and out.

This vessel is a true Bluewater and Coastal Cruiser with many new upgrades in 2023, including the standing rigging, mast, solar panels, batteries, anchor, and the list goes on.

This Southerly 38 is turnkey ready and epitomises comfort, style and versatility. Meticulously maintained inside and out, Chantelle IV is a credit to her current owners.

If you are in the market for a Swan, Oyster, Hallberg-Rassy, or Dufour, with the added advantage of a shallow draft for exploring protected bays, she must be on your list.
