43' Selene 43- Ocean Trawler Trawlers

"C Otter"- Description

C Otter is the nicest example of the updated Selene 43 design that I have ever seen!

Stepping aboard the swim platform, supported by the factory hull extension, you immediately notice the stability afforded by this seaworthy hull design.   Walking forward through a heavy duty transom gate is a large cockpit with room for sitting and relaxing or even fishing.  You can safely walk up either side of the boat to either disembark through thoughtful side gates or easily walk forward to the Pilothouse all while being protected by high bulwarks and a Portuguese bridge.  

Forward from the Cockpit through a Diamond Sea Glaze- Dutch door, you are met with a warm and inviting design by the owner and designer of the Selene Ocean Trawler line, Howard Chen.   Careful thought and care was put into this yachts interior from her fine teak joinery to her well appointed leather upholstery.   Systems are just plain incredible.  Redundancy comes to mind when going over the impressive electronics inventory.

The current owner has made impressive refinements on the original to make her one of the best yachts for Northwest cruising.

 Salon

Walking forward from the cockpit you effortlessly walk right into the Saloon through a centerline Diamond Sea Glaze Dutch door.  To port just inside is a nicely appointed settee with an exceptional "Hide a leaf" teak table.   Across to starboard are two teak frame chairs with entertainment system just forward.  Selene also has their signature Commissary below the deck just forward of the saloon door.

Galley

The Galley is forward and to the starboard side of the Salon.  The countertops give ample room for preparation for gourmet meals or simple snacks.  There is plenty of storage so that everything can have its place. 

Commissary

The Pilothouse is up four steps from the saloon and features incredible visibility. The helm station is designed so that the captain can take command of all systems and still entertain and enjoy friends and guests while underway.  Features include:  

The Nav Systems and Electronics were chosen and layed out for ease of use and dependable operation.   Care was taken so that Pilothouse and Fly Bridge station are complimentary and have a logical layout of screens and controls.

Pilothouse:

Upper Helm:

The Flybridge helm has two Todd helm seats and a nice compliment of electronics with a protective cover.  There is also a smart addition of a map holder for paper charts, also with a protective cover.  Electronics include:

The master stateroom is located forward with a queen size berth and is easily the most quiet and relaxing areas on this yacht.  The ensuite head is to starboard and has plenty of light, heat and a bath tub.  Under the berth is the bow thruster locker which is sealed off with a hatch providing a water tight compartment.

Bow Thruster locker

Just down three steps from the Salon to port is the companionway to the staterooms.   The Guest stateroom is very comfortable.  The custom folding door allows for a very open companionway or closes to provide nice private accommodations  Your guests will be comfortable in over under bunks with the lower extendable with a 12" insert. 

Guest Head:

The Fly Bridge is spacious and well laid out with excellent running visibility from the Todd helm seats.  There is a custom Forespar mast providing a base for the ship's Radar antennas. Aft of the mast is plenty of space for the AB tender the is easily launched with the new Steelhead davit. Features:

 The Cockpit is spacious and intimate to the ocean around, and, like all outside spaces on the Selene, it is safe and secure with non-skid decks, high bulwarks, and Stainless steel safety rails.

The cockpit is accessed by the wide swim step with swim ladder on center,  There are side gates for ease of boarding or stepping to the dock to secure mooring lines.   Forward of the pilothouse  and just aft of the Portuguese bridge is nice padded seating.  The foredeck has plenty of space to launch and retrieve your anchor.  Further features:
