Gone without wind – cruising the World in our Selene 60 Ocean Trawler
Welcome to MV Destiny!
Selene 60 Ocean Trawler – Hull 6043
Gone without Wind …. around the world
Welcome to MV Destiny – our Selene 60 Ocean Trawler. Our blog takes you through the design and construction of our new Selene 60 Ocean Trawler at the shipyard in China from signing the order in May 2018 to the final delivery in 2022. We’ve had some trials and tribulations during the build – including the impact of the global coronavirus pandemic on our build process. Our blogs will follow us as we cruise the world, starting in the Far East. We also include a technical library of the equipment on board to give a full background of our design process and the decisions we have made along the way.
