Greetings Selene owners and aficionados. Capt. Brad Collins here. It is soon time to sell my second Selene - "Mischief", 2010 6033.
I am a professional Merchant Mariner and have been a ship’s Master (Captain) for most of my 45 year career. I am also a former marina owner and Chris Craft, Sea Way, Evinrude, and Cox trailer dealer. I have raced sailboats for decades. This is my second Selene. It is absolutely true and well known, Howard Chen’s 59/60’s design is easily the best design of ANY 65’ trawler or semi-displacement MY.
I have owned Mischief for 5 years and have extensively maintained, updated and upgraded every system but one on this boat. Safety comes first with everything I do and this yacht is setup as one of the most reliable & safest boats afloat. My wife & I travel to/from ME/FL each summer. With owning more than one home and Mischief - it is time to be retired and slow down with possibly another smaller Selene or some other vessel.
*Notable features with a S60 & Mischief's configuration & systems:
Mischief is powered by a John Deere 6125AFM75 with 2594 hrs. At 8/8.5 kts the JD delivers 1 gallon per NM.
2 Onan gensets: 27.5 KW and the 9 KW for night air conditioning, laundry and making water.
A glass bridge (pilothouse & flybridge) including 5 Garmin 17” displays.
EXTENSIVE electronics with ALL, including the music system, having been replaced in 2021.
Stand-up walk-in engine room and lazarette. The access to ALL the equipment on 59/60 Selenes is absolutely exceptional!
All 6 liquid tanks are fiberglass!!!
Three Stidd seats (superior)! Two on the flybridge & one in the pilothouse.
New Sunbrella cushions.
Standup electrical circuit breaker panel. EXTENSIVE electrical upgrades INCLUDING 3 ELCI's an ANG boosting isolation transformer connected to the Glendinning Cable Master (with 75'
shore power cable), galvanic isolators, Victron inverter/charger, 2 other new battery chargers (total 5 battery chargers O/B not including the engine alternator), & back-up systems.
Hydraulics include B & S thrusters, stabilizers & an emergency get-home drive.
Five (5!) fixed firefighting systems. [Upgraded from the one fixed engine room flooding system.]
10 handheld fire extinguishers onboard. Fire blankets. 32 smoke (ion or photo) & CO alarms installed.
Mischief's ground tackle system is absolutely the best that can be configured including a new 176 lb SS Ultra anchor, 2 new 400’ ½” G4 high test ACCO anchor chains, the secondary anchor is a 139 lb galvanized plow.
Recent, 8 person USCG/SOLAS commercial ocean life raft just recertified for the first time.
Steel Head davit, "SM 500R" with wireless remote.
2017 Novurania "Deluxe 360" RHIB w/40 HP Yamaha, 55 hours.
Side deck doors, SS ladder up to the flybridge hardtop. Teak swim platform & side decks.
Modern 'Euro stern' including the raised cockpit table and settee. Beautiful dark blue topsides.
3 staterooms, 2 heads with Tecma toilets, large showers! The bunk room has been modified to COMFORTABLY accommodate 2 adults including a new custom mattress.
There is so much more to this motor yacht. Mischief really is exceptional. As her caretaker I've absolutely put my heart, soul and fairly extensive experience and knowledge into this yacht.
