At the Selene West Coast Owner’s Rendezvous in April, special guest Arina Chen of Selene Yachts took the wheel of Selene 60 Ocean Explorer 'Grato' and docked a boat for her first time ever.
In the video below, follow along as Selene Americas Technical Director Dylan Hildebrand walks Arina through the trawler pre-check, start-up and docking process.
With Dylan’s help, Arina shows us the proper checks (gear shifter, thrusters, and steering) before setting off for a quick cruise around Roche Harbor, WA. She then demonstrates just how easy it is to both handle and dock a 60+ foot trawler yacht. And stick around at the end to hear Arina’s first-hand impressions of docking a boat for the first time.
