1981 Southern Cross Southern Cross 39'

This 1981 Southern Cross 39' was designed by naval architect Thomas Gillmer and exemplifies his signature style: a canoe stern paired with a rising sheer line that gives the yacht distinctive character. Built of fiberglass, she displaces and handles like a true offshore cruiser suited to extended passages.

The interior includes three cabins and one head, offering comfortable accommodation for cruising families or those making longer voyages. Below deck, the layout provides practical living space for extended time away from port. The boat is powered by a single Yanmar diesel engine of 55 horsepower, providing reliable auxiliary thrust.

The sail plan is versatile and well-equipped. She is rigged as a cutter with roller furling on both the Yankee and stay sail, and carries a roller furling Genoa that allows her to be sailed as a sloop configuration depending on conditions and preference. The boat has received new electronics as part of recent upgrades. Over her years of ownership, she has been maintained and upgraded on a regular basis, with work undertaken by knowledgeable hands familiar with her systems and design.
