Southerly 42 RST
The New Southerly 42RST is a 'twin wheeled' version of the Southerly 42RS with deck layout by Stephen Jones. It can be easily sailed by two people and boasts an impressive sail plan with tall fractional rig, swept back double spreaders, large mainsail with single line reefing and a self tacking furling jib. The aft cockpit offers comfortable seating around twin helm stations. The mainsheet track is located on the pilot house coachroof with control lines fed back to both helm stations, allowing the yacht to be easily managed. The steering is direct with minimum backlash with semi-balanced twin rudders to give instantly responsive steering and precise directional stability. The forward part of the cockpit is wide with generous seating for socialising. A teak cockpit table offers dinette facilities, whilst also providing a foot brace when the yacht is heeled.
