The Boat


Hermione is my 28 year old other woman with beautiful bilges, fantastic thrusters and a lifting keel. Or, for the sensible, a Southerly 115 sailing sloop with all sorts of clever equipment that we are trying to master and were not present on our old creek crawler.  She is 37 feet long and almost 12 feet wide. She weighs nine tons and has an air clearance of 16 metres. Despite this with her keel up she can float in less than three feet of water. The ideal boat for the French canals.
