This week, we’re excited to welcome you aboard our new full-time floating home — the 2024 Selene Yachts Classic Explorer 49! This beautifully engineered long-range trawler will carry us across the Pacific Ocean as we begin the biggest adventure of our lives, exploring some of the most remote and exotic destinations on Earth. The Selene 49 Classic is a true ocean-going passagemaker, designed for serious bluewater travel. With her full-length keel, protected running gear, and extensive system redundancy — including an emergency “get-home” engine — she’s built for safety, stability, and reliability at sea. She’s powered by a marine-rated M1 John Deere diesel, famous for its longevity and smooth, efficient operation, giving us the confidence to rest easy on long passages. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be living aboard a vessel crafted with such attention to detail. The build quality, interior fit and finish, and exceptional support from Selene Americas have already exceeded our expectations. This boat is not just our home — she’s our partner for the journey ahead. 👇 Full specs for our Selene 49 Classic Explorer: ________________________________________________________________________________________ 🌐 Selene Yachts Americas: https://www.seleneamericas.com/classic-explorer/classic-49 ⚓ Selene 49 Classic Explorer – Key Specifications Dimensions & Hull • LOA: 53′-11″ (16.43 m) • LWL: 46′-10″ (14.27 m) • Beam: 15′-8″ (4.78 m) • Draft: 5′-11″ (1.80 m) • Displacement: ~30.5 t (≈ 67,240 lb) • Hull Features: Deep-Hull™ design, Cruiser Stern™, full keel, protected running gear Tankage • Fuel Capacity: approx. 1,200–1,300 USG (4,540–4,921 L) • Fresh Water: approx. 210 USG (800–807 L) Engine & Performance • Main Engine: John Deere 6068AFM85 — 230 HP @ 2300 RPM • Cruising Speed: ~8.5 knots • Range: ~2,000–2,200 NM Features • Bow & stern thrusters • Flybridge with hardtop • 16 kW generator • Dinghy davit • Spacious salon & galley • 2 or 3 stateroom layout options • Large lazarette & extended swim platform ________________________________________________________________________________________ 🌴 COME HANG OUT WITH US 🎥 Patreon – Exclusive content, early videos, and Lindsey responds to every message personally! 👉 Join us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/The71Percent 📸 Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/the71percentchannel/ 📘 Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/the71percent 🌐 Our Website 👉 https://www.the71percent.com 🌐 Selene Yachts 👉 https://www.seleneamericas.com ________________________________________________________________________________________ ⚓ STUFF WE LOVE (and actually use) These aren’t just random links — this is gear we use on Ruth Pearl all the time.
