Southerly Design 2100



This big aluminum centerboard ketch was built by Paul E. Luke of East Boothbay, Maine and launched in 1975. With her well protected center cockpit and accommodations split fore and aft she seems a perfect cruising yacht. Designed as such she surprised everyone by being a successful ocean racing yacht.

This is all we have in color and we glued two images together to get the whole boat.


Here are the plans.


I believe Southerly was the only aluminum yacht built to this design but I can see in the files two sisters were built of steel, somewhere up on the Great Lakes.
