Southerly 32 "CURRENT OBSESSION"

Description:
“Current Obsession” is a prime example of the Southerly 32 cruising yacht built by Northshore Yachts Ltd at the shipyard in Itchenor.  She is the perfect, spacious yacht for family cruising, and with the unique Swing Keel her variable draft gives deep draft performance with shallow draft freedom at the touch of a button. She has been well maintained by her current owner, with several useful additions  especially assisting short handed sailing. Viewing is recommended.
