Overview

Design and Capability

‘Blue Dolphin’ is one of only a small number of Southerly 420s built by Northshore, making her a rare and desirable cruising yacht. Designed with a centre cockpit and a variable draft keel, she offers excellent performance alongside exceptional flexibility. As a result, she is equally suited to offshore passages and shallow-water cruising.

Hull, Keel, and Sailing Performance

The design features a well-balanced modern hull form, a long heeled waterline, and a broad transom, which together deliver good speed and a notably sea-kindly motion. The lifting keel allows access to a wide range of cruising grounds, while still maintaining strong windward performance when lowered.

Refit and Condition

‘Blue Dolphin’ has recently completed a major refit programme. This work included a full hull repaint in Awlgrip ‘Ocean Blue’, along with the extensive rig and sail upgrades listed above. As a result, she now presents in outstanding condition and is offered ready for immediate use.

Broker's Comments

This is a boat that’s clearly had serious money spent in the right places. The refit has transformed her, and she now looks and feels spot on. From a skipper’s point of view, she’s easy to manage, very secure, and settles down nicely at sea. The lifting keel gives you real freedom when cruising, while the systems onboard mean you can stay out longer without compromise. She’s one of those boats that’s ready to go properly, not just for a weekend away. If you’re looking for a capable cruiser that’s been brought right up to scratch, ‘Blue Dolphin’ is well worth a look.
