Re: Southerly 480 build thread?
Yes we have the starboard saloon berth with a lee cloth, and the port also with leecloth. The aft cabin is also surprisingly good again with a lee cloth down the centre, I tend to wedge myself against the side bulkhead.
Our plans are for the Med for a couple of years then the Baltic but we may be tempted to the Caribean at some point, but one of our main aims is to have a nice platform to live on or Julie wont come! Talking to the Shards who have done a few miles in their Southerly's Im happy we are well placed for our aims. They have done about 4000 miles in their 480 so far and are very happy with her. Im looking forward to hear how the boat works for the transat they are about to do.
