Boat of the Week

Selene 52 Ocean Explorer - Smart Three Cabin Design

The Selene 52 Ocean Explorer expands on the 50 Voyager Sedan with a larger superstructure and refined European styling. Its elegant teak or optional cherry interior includes a sea-ready U-shaped galley to port.

Compared to the Selene 42, it adds an extra cabin and head, a roomier saloon, and more storage. The spacious flybridge—with optional hardtop—is a standout feature. The forward owner’s cabin features an athwartships walk-around berth, allowing for generous nightstands and wardrobe space.

Stylish, comfortable, and built for performance, the Selene 50 is designed for effortless cruising.

Nautical Expression

The cat o’ nine tails (a multi-tailed whip used for punishment) was stored in a bag. So the 'cat is out of the bag,' meant someone was getting punished (the secret is out). Since all hands were called on deck to witness the flogging, it would be so crowded that the whip couldn’t be swung with full force. Therefore, there was no room to 'swing a cat.'

     

Lagoon 400 S2 

Spacious, Smart and Cruise-Ready

Built in 2014, this 4-cabin Lagoon 400 S2 offers generous living space and comfort for families or larger groups. With two large bathrooms featuring separate showers, it rivals the owner’s version in convenience.

"Poe Miti" is well-equipped for cruising, featuring dual fridges, 520W solar, 540Ah batteries (2019), a 200W inverter, and a 100L/h watermaker. An electric winch simplifies mainsail hoisting, and the rigging is ready for a Code Zero. The helm station includes a sturdy bimini, and safety gear is up to date.

Sleeping up to 10, thanks to bunked forward peaks and a convertible saloon table, this 40ft catamaran is easy to handle and ideal for extended adventures.
