Off The Grid

Cruisers Off The Grid

Off The Grid was commissioned and delivered to its owner in Lymington, UK, in 2024. She is the first of the new Southerly 420s. She features a robust variable draft swing keel, twin rudders, a raised salon with excellent visibility, two heads, and a smartly designed rig/deck plan that makes the boat easy to handle. 

Following delivery, the owners enjoyed several shake-down cruises before joining the 2024 ARC and sailing to Saint Lucia. After spending time aboard OTG, they have decided to purchase a larger yacht. This is a unique opportunity to purchase a nearly new Southerly 420. 

The variable draft swing keel enables shoal draft freedom and deep draft performance! The Southerly 42 features a grounding plate (+/-4,630 lbs) with a variable draft swing keel (+/-3,461 lbs), which provides the freedom and versatility to sail in almost any water. With the keel lowered (8' 11"), the deep draft makes for fast, serious cruising. At the ‘touch of a button,’ the keel can be raised to give a shallow draft of just 2' 9" – perfect for shallow water exploring.
