The boat called S/Y Selkie is a Beneteau 411, 2001 model, the 3 cabin version. It is a very comfortable, very seaworthy and resonably fast cruiser, capable of 190nm in a day on a good day. All in all just a really nice little boat.
She’s been going though a major refit ever since 2020. We have written (and continued to update) the full list of boat renovation work here. Among the tings we’ve done are:
- New sails: genoa, main, and Code 1 light wind sail
- Extended the anchor roller to serve as bow sprit for the Code 1
- New sprayhood, cockpit enclosure and lazyjack bag
- Thorough rig check, new forestay and running rigging
- A second anchor: Rocna 25 kg in addition to the Bruce 20 kg
- 50 m extra anchor chain, to a total of 80 meters
- Replaced all through-hulls with Trudesign composite
- Replaced entire LPG system, regulator and hoses
- Insulated the entire boat with 20-30 mm Armaflex
- Reinstalled diesel heater and ventilation ducts
- Major engine service, including new heat exchanger
- Replaced coupling, prop shaft and cutlass bearing
- Serviced rudder, renovated the quadrant, installed new POM bearing
- New navigation electronics
