53 Long Range Ocean Trawler
--
53 feet
--
Fiberglass/Reinforced
Leaving Palm Beach, FL June 1, 2019 to return to New Bern, NC.
As I walked down the dock to see ALLEY G for the first time, it quickly struck me how beautiful the Selene 53 is. It is a ââ?¬Å?boaters-boatââ?¬ï¿½, a ââ?¬Å?yachtsman-yachtââ?¬ï¿½ and the type of yacht that will turn heads on any water way and in any marina. From the Flag Blue hull and white superstructure to the reversed pilothouse windows, ALLEY G is truly stunning.
The Selene 53 is one of the most successful yachts of the Selene Ocean Trawler line. Itââ?¬â?¢s a displacement yacht meant for long-range cruising, big for her length and beamy. Her shape below the waterline and single engine is fuel efficient. The big slow-turning prop responds instantly to increases in throttle. Soft chines forward sharpen to hard chines near amidships, and from there to the transom, the run stays flat, much like that of a ship. It sweeps up to let solid water flow to the prop and rudder. A keel of barely discernible drag becoming deeper aft than forward provides directional stability, helps damp roll and protects the prop and rudder during grounding. The Selene 53 has its master stateroom amidships, the area of least pitching, a general design principle for a cruising yacht. As Bill Parlatore of the prestigious American magazine Passagemaker writes, ââ?¬Å?Gunkholing Alaska or cruising the Caribbean, the Selene 53 does it with ease. And it has the long legs to cross oceans. ââ?¬Å?
ALLEY G is seriously for sale. The seller completed the Northern Route of the Great Loop in the Summer of 2018 and is ready to spend more time ashore. The maintenance is up to date and the systems are entirely functional. No disappointments in ALLEY G.
The preferred three stateroom, two head layout with private steps to the master cabin in the salon, as well as, steps from the pilothouse to the lower level to access all three staterooms and the guest head.
The layout photos show the barrel chairs on the starboard side of the salon, ALLEY G has a settee instead.
