Archer

Thirteen and three-quarter metres of long-range trawler, with the accommodation arranged under a sedan superstructure — one level, and a saloon that runs into the galley.

A sedan is a different way of using a boat this size. With no raised aft cabin the whole of the main deck sits on one level, so the saloon, the galley and the helm read as a single space and the cockpit is a step away rather than a deck below.

Two cabins, one head with a separate shower stall, and berths for four to six. Teak throughout, and the fit-out is the yard's own joinery rather than a supplier's flat-pack.

One engine, and a choice of two: 180 hp John Deere or the 230 hp Cummins QSB. Either way she is a 9-knot boat with better than 1,000 nautical miles in her tanks — which is the whole point of a hull this shape.

Bow and stern thrusters, hydraulic steering to both helms, a 9 kVA generator as standard, and a Seakeeper 5 gyro on the options list. She is built to be run by her owners, and specified on the assumption that they will be the ones maintaining her.

What you can get

Key features of the Selene 42 Europa

Sedan deckhouse, one level

The main deck runs saloon to helm without a step, and the cockpit is level with it. On 13.77 m that is the difference between a boat you move through and a boat you climb around.

Two cabins, one head, separate shower

2 cabins and 1 head, with the shower in its own stall rather than over the pan — the arrangement that makes a small boat liveable for a season rather than a weekend.

A choice of one engine

180 hp John Deere or 230 hp Cummins QSB, both on a single shaft. The yard publishes both, so the site prints both rather than picking one for you.

1,000+ nm at 9 knots

2,650 l of fuel and a displacement hull under you: the range is what turns a coastal boat into one you can take somewhere.

Electric or hydraulic bow & stern thrusters

Fitted, not optional, and specified to suit the rest of the boat. A 4.42 m beam in a cross-wind is a two-thruster problem, and they are what let two people berth her without help.
