GRATITUDE

Gratitude features a raised galley and nav station, a single wheel, twin rudders, and a variable draft swing keel. She presents very well and is in good condition. The current owners purchased the 2004 Southerly 110 in 2011. She has sailed up and down the East Coast from Florida to NJ several times. She was refitted in 2013 after Sandy hit the NJ area, where she was in a yard waiting to be painted. A marine surveyor assessed the damage, and Hinckley Yacht Services performed the work. After Sandy, she was upgraded from stem to stern, including new electronics, rudders, hull paint, and bottom paint. The cockpit was redesigned, moving the traveler forward of the dodger and making sailing more comfortable. The railing was removed to add push-pit seats. In addition to upgrading many basic features, the running rigging was replaced, and an asymmetric spinnaker was added. Gratitude also had her Bimini, Dodger, and cockpit enclosure canvas redone in 2021. A marine surveyor assessed the damage, which Hinckley Yacht Services repaired in 2013. A copy of the post-damage survey is available upon request. The Southerly 110 was designed by Rob Humphreys and built to cross oceans by Northshore Yachts in England. With the keel up, the Southerly 110 has an extreme shoal draft of only 2 feet 4 inches! With the keel down, the S110 draft is an impressive 7 feet 2 inches. The keel is fully adjustable to any depth you wish by pushing a button. The twin rudders provide exceptional tracking on all points of sail. SHALLOW DRAFT FREEDOM - At the touch of a button, the keel can be raised and sail in shallow waters. This means you can extend your cruising grounds considerably. Raising the swing keel gives you access to many tidal locations and allows you to berth this yacht on the beach, keep her at your shallow water dock, or even on a lift! DEEP DRAFT PERFORMANCE—The swing keel provides a deep draft, which gives the boat greater stability due to the increased righting moment. In practice, the boat is stiffer, carries her sail better, and carves her way efficiently to windward in any seaway. The swing keel's airfoil shape is highly efficient and allows you to point high (30 degrees).
