All Northshore Yachts Boats For Sale

Year of Formation 1971 Company History  Northshore Yachts have been building luxury yachts since 1971. Production for Northshore increased in 1973 with a buoyant order book. Due to this, Northshore needed a larger waterside and gained these at Itchenor, which gave them extra building facilities and a new launching facility. Today Northshore are building their yachts in Chichester. The Northshore shipyard has continued to grow over the past few years as the southerly brand has become recognised internationally. There is currently a new factory and offices under construction which, once completed, will make Northshore the largest yacht manufacturer in the UK, with boat production increasing to 90 boats per year. Featured Boat Southerly 49 This new boat was built for power, sleekness and smooth cruising for long distances. Rob Humphreys, alongside the Northshore architects, designed the hull, rig, keel and sail plan. This was designed so that two people could easily sail the yacht. Inside the yacht, you will be treated to beautiful airy and light surroundings with great surrounding views. The yacht is spacious throughout and features great headroom. The salon is well equipped for entertaining. The master cabin also features great headroom with en-suite facilities. There are also two other double berth cabins on board. This yacht is full of the modern interior combined with a mighty cruising performance, making it a very luxurious yacht.

Southerly 47: A solid voyager with swing keel flexibility

Northshore Yachts Ltd. in the U.K. has been designing and building rugged variable-draft voyaging yachts that have proven themselves both in sailing performance and seakeeping ability since 1971. The boats have proven themselves not only as racers and coastal cruisers, but also as bluewater passagemakers and able circumnavigators.

Today the company’s fleet ranges from 32 to 67 feet and produces about 60 boats a year at its factory in Itchenor, West Sussex. The yard’s newest launch, designed by Stephen Jones and the Northshore Design Office is a superb example of a modern yacht that has all the characteristics of high performance and offshore ability with variable draft, thanks to a unique swing keel. For precision helm control the yacht also sports twin rudders — a hallmark of Northshore Design.

The Southerly 47 evolved from the yard’s earlier 45-footer, flagship of the Southerly fleet.

The 47 features a fractional rig with a self-tacking jib and large fully-battened mainsail for powerful performance. Dacron sails are standard, with the upgrade to laminates as an option. There is an asymmetric gennaker that can be flown from an optional stainless steel bowsprit in light air. As an option, owners can choose a double headsail (jib and overlapping genoa). A storm jib on a removable inner stay is available as is an in-mast or in-boom furling. The headsail has a Furlex headsail reefing system as standard equipment.

A crew of two The fractional rig is by Selden and has double swept back spreaders. Spars, including the Park Avenue boom, are anodized aluminum.

The boat is designed to be sailed by a crew of two and as such all sail controls are led to the cockpit. The mainsheet track traverses the coachroof with sheets led aft to each of the twin helm stations. This provides for ease of handling from either helm and keeps the cockpit clear. All winches are by Lewmar. The cockpit itself is deep and secure with ample seating for guests and a centerline table for entertaining. In addition to the dedicated helm seats there are also teak bench seats mounted on the stainless steel stern rail. There is also a fold down transom door for access to a large stowage area that is perfect for a dinghy.

The fore deck is clean thanks to a very low-profile cabin trunk. The pilothouse profile is equally sleek and European in its styling and has unparalleled visibility due to its low profile.

Belowdecks, the interior space has been configured to maximize space with the raised saloon to port and additional seating to starboard and below. The galley and the navigation station are opposite each other, one either side of the companionway for ease of access. Navigation electronics are at the owner’s discretion — Northshore Yachts recommends Raymarine ST60 wind and depth instruments.

The galley is fully equipped for living aboard or for long-range voyaging. It has two stainless steel sinks, pressurized hot and cold water with mixed taps, Corian type Aspen Glacier countertops and a three-burner gimbaled range and oven. The reefer/freezer is a front-loading stainless steel unit.

Three-cabin layout The yacht has a three-cabin layout with a spacious owner’s cabin, centerline bed and en suite head and shower. There is a port midships cabin with over and under bunks which also can be used as an office or study. An additional head and shower are immediately to starboard and are shared with the forward cabin, which has a double vee berth. All cabins have large, deep hanging lockers and additional built-in storage. Interior joinery is either solid cherry or mahogany and marine faced plywood. The cabin soles are teak-striped non-slip laminate.

The hull is constructed of heavy GRP, laid up using Northshore’s Nordseal laminating system which incorporates multi-axial and unidirectional reinforcements. The keel box runs the entire length of the hull layup and sandwich construction stiffening runs the entire length of the hull topsides. All bulkheads are bonded to the hull during layup along with additional transverse frames and longitudinal stringers. The decks are GRP sandwich construction with stressed areas reinforced with unidirectional glass.

For power there is a Yanmar 4JH4-TE 75-hp four-cylinder fresh water cooled marine diesel turning a three-bladed bronze propeller. Bow thrusters are optional. To protect the propeller when the vessel is dried out, a very substantial skeg has been fitted to the centerline. Auxiliary power comes from three heavy-duty, alternator-charged batteries. Fuel tanks are non-metallic and carry 130 gallons. Water tankage is 110 gallons.

Twin rudders standard Semi-balanced twin rudders have been standard on Northshore’s Southerly yachts. They offer precise control, directional stability and the security of an extra rudder. The twin stainless steel cockpit wheels drive the rudders with a Whitlock steering system. An emergency steering system has also been installed.

Perhaps the most unique feature of the Southerly line beyond the twin ridders is the unique swing keel. The concept was first developed for the Southerly 33 in 1978 and has continued to be employed by Northshore ever since. The swing keel has satisfied many owners’ idea of a perfect yacht — deep draft for powerful performance and shoal draft for convenience, safety and versatility. For deep draft performance the cast iron keel offers greater stability due to an increased righting moment. According to Northshore Yachts, the boat is stiffer and works to windward with great efficiency. The keel’s aerofoil shape also reportedly allows the boat to point high, at least 30 degrees, with minimal leeway. Raising and lowering the keel is done with an electrically-activated hydraulic pump backed up by a manual system.

When retracted, the cast iron fixed ballast, which is recessed into the hull, acts as a grounding plate allowing the boat to rest on the plate in complete safety and “dry out” in an upright position. The boat can literally be berthed on the beach with confidence.

With such flexibility, plus its other attributes, the Southerly 47 is a boat worthy of serious consideration by any voyager.

Southerly 135

• By Ralph Naranjo
• Updated: March 28, 2003

Northshore Yachts, builder of the Southerly 135 Series Three, calls this boat “a variable-draft bluewater cruiser with a raised-deck saloon,” and that just about says it all. This innovative Rob Hum-phreys design is representative of a line of swing-keelers that Northshore Yachts has been building for over two decades. These boats have attracted a strong following in the United Kingdom and Europe, and with over 600 launched, it’s worth taking a look at why owners feel these boats offer them the very best of two distinct cruising worlds.

Let’s start with the options that a draft of 2 feet 6 inches opens for a 45-footer in the Bahamas, Chesapeake Bay, the ICW, and other skinny-water estuaries that most monohull sailors seldom get to see close up. Combine this inshore advantage with a seagoing hull built to European Union Category A specs, and add a swing keel that transforms the shoal-draft creek-creeper into a very viable bluewater sailboat. When the swinger is unswung, it becomes a deep, foil-shaped keel with a 9-foot-8-inch draft.

Another key reason for the interest in this boat is her easy motion and user-friendliness under sail. On a chilly fall day with a shifty, 11- to 14-knot northerly breeze kicking up a hint of a Chesapeake chop, the Southerly felt right at home as we ran down the bay. When we hardened up and sheeted in the full main and 120-percent genoa, we were close-reaching at 7.3 knots, building to 7.5 knots as we fell off onto a beam reach. We turned farther off the wind and adjusted trim for a broad reach; boat speed decreased by about a knot. The optional asymmetric spinnaker will help cope in the lighter apparent wind.

Despite a relatively small sail plan, the boat’s sailing performance was good. Her Seldén rig is well thought out, the Furlex roller-furling headsail system was easy to handle, and the placement of sheet leads made sailhandling a snap.

I found the Lewmar 48s a bit small for primary winches on a 45-footer, a problem easily fixed by an upgrade. The steering was finger-touch smooth, and with the keel fully down, the vessel tracked well, indicating the boat has good directional stability. This is an attribute that’s appreciated the more time one spends at the helm. It’s also a key factor in how well a boat responds to a self-steering vane or autopilot.

Serious cruisers recognize the traits that add up to seakindliness, and under way, it became clear that the Southerly 135 had more than her fair share of them. She exhibited neither the quick, jerky motion of a lightweight raceboat nor the bargelike undulations of full-sectioned heavy-displacement cruisers. Her decks, handholds, and lifelines work together to keep crew on board, and the efficient sail plan and substantial punch from the turbocharged 75-horsepower Yanmar diesel get you where you want to go.

An optional furling mainsail and a bow thruster can make sailhandling and maneuvering in tight confines even easier. However, these aren’t on my “must-have” list of options because the Southerly 135 is a comfortable cruiser that can still be handled by a small crew.

Structural Matters

Northshore employs conventional FRP laid up by hand, with balsa core in the deck and in the hull above the waterline. In the deck laminate, plywood infills replace the balsa at each compression point, such as where hardware is installed. The solid laminate below the waterline grows thicker as it approaches the centerline, and a unique keel box is molded as an integral part of the hull. Unidirectional fiberglass is added to high-stress areas, and the underwater surface of the hull has a clear gelcoat. The vessel comes with a five-year blister warrantee.

The keel itself is an articulating, airfoil-shaped blade made of cast iron that weighs 3,610 pounds. It’s held in place by what the builder calls a “grounding plate,” another cast-iron structure that weighs 6,260 pounds. Together, they constitute the ballast package and are attached to the hull in a very rugged manner. The large contact surface between the iron grounding plate and the recess in the hull is well reinforced with transverse and longitudinal structure inside the hull. Twenty-eight 12-millimeter bolts spaced around the perimeter of the grounding plate mechanically fasten the ballast package to the hull. While iron oxidizes more slowly than steel, and modern marine coatings will hold rust to a minimum, some ongoing maintenance still will be needed to keep the bottom paint on the keel and ensure that the grounding plate remains a smooth, flake-free surface.

The swing keel is hinged to the grounding plate on a hefty, 2-inch-diameter, stainless-steel pin that rides on bronze bushings inserted into heavy-duty bosses in the grounding plate itself. It’s a solid, well-reinforced structure, as would be expected since the swing keel weighs as much as a Land Rover, and any trouble with the hinge mechanism itself would become a costly problem. My only concern lies in the difficulty of inspecting the stainless-steel pin, a task requiring the removal of the keel and the grounding plate. Over the long term, galvanic corrosion and electrolysis can affect submerged stainless steel. The builder’s representative with whom I spoke said that pin problems haven’t been an issue in the more than 20 years since Northshore Yachts launched the first swing-keel Southerly.

An electric/hydraulic system raises and lowers the swing keel at the push of a button; there’s a manual backup. A hydraulic ram attached to the upper trailing edge of the keel connects to a Spectra pendant in a purchase. The entire mechanism is contained in the heavily reinforced molded keel-box structure that has an access port for inspection and maintenance of the hydraulic ram, which remains partially submerged.

The low-aspect-ratio rudder is attached to a long skeg that lends it significant support and also provides additional directional stability. The blade itself is semibalanced and, teamed up with a nicely installed Whitlock Mamba bevel-gear, torsion-rod steering system, it gives the helm a smooth, responsive feel. Hard on the wind in heavy seas, the shallow rudder may be less than ideal, and that’s probably one of the reasons why the builder offers a twin-rudder version of the Southerly 135. According to Northshore, “the twin-rudder option provides improved handling and sail-carrying capacity while still allowing the boat to be dried out safely.” The optional tall rig would be a big plus in light-air cruising grounds.

Living Room

The attractive cabin accommodations showcase well-executed joiner work. Two layouts are available. Both retain fore and aft cabins. One provides a middle cabin with a single bunk and locates the galley to starboard under the cockpit; the other option features a big saloon, a nicely placed U-shaped galley with centerline sinks, and more space in the main cabin. The sizable molded keel box doesn’t intrude into the accommodations, and crew will adapt to the ups and downs in the multilevel cabin sole, a characteristic of all raised deck-saloons.

The owner’s spacious stateroom and adjacent head and shower take up much of the aft portion of the vessel and in port provide the feel of a true master’s quarters. However, the big berths at opposite ends of the vessel might be less appreciated during an offshore passage. In addition, the elevation of the cockpit forces the boom to be mounted 10 feet above the waterline, lessening the rig’s sail-carrying ability. Many will accept this tradeoff to acquire these generous accommodations.

The turbocharged Yanmar 75-horsepower diesel, an optional upgrade over the 56-horsepower, naturally aspirated standard engine, pushes the boat at 2,800 rpm smoothly and evenly at a cruising speed of 7.5 knots. The engine installation, like other examples of mechanical and electrical work on this boat, is first-class. I saw no signs of shortcuts. Access to all sides of the engine, however, was a little tight in comparison with other boats of this size. Two water tanks and two fuel tanks—all of them stainless steel—are located amidships to minimize their effect on fore and aft trim as they’re drawn down. Two polypropylene tanks provide a total of 48 gallons of waste capacity. For long-term durability, most materials specialists would recommend aluminum for fuel tanks and stainless steel for the holding tanks.

A high center cockpit offers good visibility but also provides a target for spray off the bow. A foldable dodger gives the helmsman good protection and decent visibility, but it needs a clear-plastic window so the crew reefing the mainsail from under it can see what’s happening to the sail.

A vessel tends to reflect the home waters of its origin, and it’s no surprise to discover that the Southerly 135 is a rugged, well-built cruiser that’s engineered to handle the North Sea and its frequent heavy weather and cold, damp cruising conditions. Small hatches and small dorade vents are a big plus in that climate; still, those planning to spend time in the tropics may wish that the boat’s large, forward-facing saloon windows were actually opening hatches. Effective blinds or covers would help lessen the greenhouse effect caused by sunlight entering the windows, a problem experienced by most raised-deck-saloon vessels.

The side decks are narrow but safe to transit and are capped with the sure footing of a traditional teak deck. Walking from bow to stern, you get the feeling that this is a cruising boat built for sailors by sailors. You immediately notice a useful stem roller, cleats, and chocks that are large enough and strong enough for their tasks. There’s a workbench aft and enough storage for provisions and spares to sail far and long.

Northshore Yachts ‘in receivership’

Builders of Southerly boats in dire straits

The future of Northshore Yachts, builders of the Southerly range, is ‘not looking great’ an industry source told Yachting Monthly today.

According to theories in the marine industry a marital break-down is at the heart of the company’s demise. Directors are currently behind closed doors thrashing out terms with creditors – including customers who have paid deposits on ordered yachts.

The Itchenor, West Sussex yard, which employs 160 staff, has been shut down and it is not certain whether the company will re-emerge as a single entity, a new company or even whether it is wound up, the source said.

Meanwhile FRP Advisory, recovery and insolvency specialists, told YM they are advising the directors of Northshore Yachts, but refused to comment further, instead referring calls to a PR company who refused to comment at all.

It is believed a decision about the company’s future will be made ‘within days rather than weeks’.

Carter 30 is a 29 ′ 9 ″ / 9.1 m monohull sailboat designed by Dick Carter and built by Northshore Yachts between 1972 and 1990.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Later versions were built by Strettin in Poland, and an unknown builder in Japan. It is thought that at least 300 were built.

OUR HISTORY

The origins of our waterside location can be traced back to the 1930's when it was originally 'Gazeby's Yard'.

Shortly before World War 2, a local builder 'Stearns' was commissioned   to build attractive timber and brick buildings to blend in with Itchenor's village houses to reduce the possibility of being bombed.  

During the war, the Ministry of Defence commandeered the Shipyard to build  Fairmile landing craft. The ML shed is (still in use today) was built with an angled floor to enable easy launching.

Under new ownership from 2003, the introduction of new innovative yacht models, was highly successful and the Southerly brand strengthened and became internationally recognised as the market leader for variable draft cruising yachts, resulting in the  addition of a new factory being built on site in 2007.

Production increased 60 boats per year, making northshore the main sail yacht manufacturer in the uk., in recognition for  such  achievement,  hrh, the princess royal opened the new southerly factory in 2010 which increased capacity further..

 Today, there are over 2,000 people enjoying Northshore built yachts around the world.
