A new Selene 49 Classic Explorer launched
Yesterday our latest Selene Classic Explorer 4941 started her long voyage to its final destination across the ocean. She was loaded on a flatbed truck and driven to the port through the streets in the middle of the night. It’s always impressive to see such a big vessel in the traffic. We are always a bit sad when a new boat leaves the shipyard, but all our teams were proud! Congratulations to all the Selene shipwrights…
A powerful and comfortable yacht
The Selene 49 Classic Explorer is a beautiful and powerful yacht, large enough to accommodate a live aboard family with children planning a circumnavigation or for a retired couple ready for the Great Loop. The Selene 49 Classic Explorer is the perfect versatile family vessel with two or three cabins and two heads. She has a very traditional « salty » look from the outside. Another salient feature is a wide flybridge giving space for entertaining friends and family with style in the open air, with ample room on the aft deck for a dinghy and hydraulic crane. The living space is large and spacious for the long cruising days. The salon is luxuriously finished in teak. The master stateroom has a queen-size island berth with teak and holly steps on both sides, plus two large cedar-lined hanging lockers.
An ocean capable vessel
The large Cummins QSL 9.0 330 horsepower engine is standard with a cruising speed of 8.5 knots for a range of 2,000 nautical miles. As the flagship of the smaller Selene Yachts, the Selene 49 boasts a bullet-proof construction and a level of luxury normally only found on its larger sisters in the range, but all in an affordable package that’s easy to handle. See the story in the Adventures section of John and Tracey on Pairadice along the North American West Coast!
