Overview

The Selene 57 DH is a new addition to the Selene family. Explains Howard Chen, the designer and builder, "It is based on the most popular model in the range - the Selene 53, but with all the key dimensions, length, beam, and height, extended to provide that extra level of comfort and accommodation for those who don't want to compromise."

Following the proven three stateroom layout of the 53, the Selene 57 uses the extra space to good advantage in a number of key areas. First, it has a more spacious pilot house, giving ample room for a Stidd helm chair in addition to the standard 'L' shaped settee and table, with watch berth behind. The extra 6" of freeboard over the 53 also allows an impressive average of 78" headroom throughout the boat. Below, the added length enables larger fuel tanks to increase the range, and a large commissary to store ample provisions for those extended passages.

Outside, entertaining becomes a pleasure, due to the larger cockpit and flybridge areas, and the boat deck can cope with a substantial tender, launched and retrieved effortlessly with the (optional) hydraulic dinghy davit. At 63'2" length overall, and a displacement of 95,000lbs at full load, the Selene 57 Ocean Trawler is an impressive vessel.
