2024 Southerly 420
“Off The Grid”
Description
We just dropped the price on this nearly new Southerly 420 by $51,000 to $598,000! If you have been tracking this listing, now is the time to act.
The new Southerly 420 truly sails without limits. Designed for sailors who want both performance and freedom, she features a robust variable draft swing keel, twin rudders, and a smartly engineered rig and deck layout that make her powerful yet remarkably easy to handle.
At the heart of the design is Southerly’s signature lifting keel system. With the keel lowered to 8 feet 11 inches, the 420 delivers deep-draft performance for fast, confident offshore cruising. At the touch of a button, the keel raises to just 2 feet 9 inches, opening up shallow anchorages and hidden harbors that most yachts her size simply can’t reach. A substantial grounding plate adds strength and versatility, giving you the confidence to explore almost any water.
Inside, the raised salon offers excellent visibility, a bright and open feel, and a practical two-head layout designed for comfortable cruising. The Southerly 420 blends innovation, seaworthiness, and luxury into one incredibly capable passagemaker.

Full Details
Variable Draft Swing Keel and Steering
The fixed ballast is an iron casting that acts as a grounding plate and stiffener for the keel and housing assembly. It is fitted into a recess in the hull in the area of the keel box with stainless steel bolts. The aerofoil-shaped keel is cast iron and incorporates a stainless-steel pivot at the leading edge. The keel is raised and lowered by a Dyneema pennant and hydraulic ram powered by an electrically driven pump with a hand-operated backup. All hydraulics are easily accessible for maintenance.
The steering is direct with minimum backlash and semi-balanced twin rudders, giving instantly responsive steering and precise directional stability. The transom is open with integral steps to give easy access to the cockpit.
