I love this design as well. It always makes me feel like I am on a little ship rather than just a boat. For some reason, the design is not as common as I would have liked, as most boats have lower helm stations as part of the saloon instead.

While going from the pilothouse to the fly bridge I novice water damage to the teak veneer. 1. How did that happen? 2. How extensive is the damage? 3. What repairs (if any) were made? 4. No ladder cockpit to flu bridge, is it available?

Andrew, good eye! As with any boat, I would always recommend a good survey before purchase. The broker did tell me that the root cause of the leak has been repaired and is ready for any hose down, rain, or sea. If memory serves me correctly I believe it was the window seals that needed replacement. Whatever it was, it has apparently been taken care of. As to the flybridge, I didn't see any ladders when I was on board. However, the flybridge is easily accessed from the helm and with 3 entry points to the helm, I doubt the ladder would ever be used.

I almost didn't watch this video (thinking "a 20 year old trawler, meh!") but I'm sure glad I did! Spectacular vessel, really built with sea-keeping in mind, just luxurious enough to not detract from its' appeal as a boater's boat, a boat for someone who likes to be at sea. At 13.27 though there seems to be a fair bit of water damage at the top of the stair below that hatch coaming, what's the story on that? (EDIT: I see my question has been answered below, thx.)

I noticed that too as the only negative in a exceptionally well cared for vessel. My thoughts were that it had been used in all weathers and that was drips from the wet feet on the top of the access stairway as people enter and exit the pilots house. It’s just a wild guess, but certainly doesn’t detract from what is an immensely capable vessel with a good few years left in her.

An important question for ANYONE looking to make an offer on any Selene prior to 2013: Does she come with full diagrams of the plumbing and electrical systems? The 2012 model year was the last year Selene yachts each had individual wiring and plumbing plans, client feedback made them create a standard plan for each model starting in 2013. The large hatch in the forward stateroom also being an escape hatch is actually a requirement for CE Category A certification, every CE Category A yacht can claim that feature. ;)

@@GarnockReviews you will need to replace the wires, knowing how they run makes it easier. knowing how the plumbing runs makes any repairs easier. The diagrams or lack aren't a deal breaker, they aren't hard to make. The knowledge they give is valuable for future repairs / refits.

I live in a country that has 220v 50HZ. How would this boat cope. Also I guess the wiring throughout the boat is 110 Volt 60HZ and appliances are the same.? Also all the plugs look American.

Hey Graeme, if you asked that question years ago, it would no doubt be a deal breaker. However, these days it is very easy to travel the world when it comes to electrics without rewiring the entire boat. The secret, is making sure you have the right inverters installed. Here is an article that explains it better than I can www.cruisingworld.com/how/wired-world.

Is it possible to operate a boat of this size single handed?

@GarnockReviews

3 жыл бұрын

I wouldn't say any boat of this size could be easily handled by 1 person, but this particular boat is fully equipped for it. Not only do you have deck access straight from the helm on both sides, but both decks have engine and thruster control units. You even have a lanyard that allows you to control the bow and stern thrusters so you could keep it pinned to a pontoon while you tie up ropes.

Lovely boat! One engine? Passage Maker? Don’t think so. Marina queen perhaps?

However, I recently went to the Daytona Boat Show and Jacksonville Boat Show and stocked up on a bunch of more affordable content. Center consoles, bow riders, pontoons, and some start around $15k I believe. More affordable boats are coming into the mix very soon.

To replace this boat with something comparable new would run well over a million. I wonder what it sold for? Anyone know? Over 300 large?

I'm sure if you check the listings she also has a smaller "get home" engine. Very few single engine trawler yachts do not have a secondary backup engine, drive shaft and propeller offset from the main engine, usually on the port side. Those that don't have a hydraulic drive from the larger generator to the main shaft to provide the same functionality.
