Boat Description

Interior layout:

To ensure adequate headroom, the heads is placed under the foc’s’l, separated from the main saloon by two lockers abaft a bulkhead. This entertaining area is also the sleeping quarters onboard. The two sofas back rests pivot to become two upper berths. A three steps ladder separate the main saloon from the pilot house. The raised saloon complies a navigation station at port side and a compact galley at starboard with a sofa for two persons abaft the galley counters. A table which slides vertically around a column is a cosy feature that brings a touch of class to this compartment.
Outside the pilothouse there is an ample after deck with two longitudinal seats, the right place for socialising or catching a fish for the next meal. The self-draining after deck is the preferred place aboard whenever the weather is fine. An almost permanent awning is welcome on hot summer days or when it’s raining.

Deck Layout:

The Southern Voyager 28 has plenty of open space abaft the cabin, what’s ideal for socialising, fishing or for storing diving equipment.

A platform with swimming ladder abaft the transom is very handy when coming aboard, or as a diving base.

Construction:

The Southern Voyager 28 has a round bilge hull to be built in strip-planking or fibreglass sandwich, with deck and superstructure made from marine plywood covered with glass cloth saturated with epoxy resin.
