Details of the Ship
SV Selma Expeditions sailing in Antarctic Ocean

Expedition-sailing Yacht designed by well known boat engineer Georg Azueppe-Brenner. She was built in the shipyard CM Merret in Brittany focusing on speed and sea-worthiness. Selma possesses two independent steering positions, one situated in the cockpit , the second in the comfortable pilot house. The far forward section of the bow is cut off by a sealed bulkhead. The fore peak, engine room and stern compartment have water tight bulkheads. Ropes stored on drums under the deck give the possibility of mooring in unusual/inaccessible places. Sonar helps to navigate the shallows and not well charted waters.
Selma is equipped with a diving air compressor and air bank to fill diving bottles. The bottles, lead weights and one diving jacket, and dry diving suit, are all stored on board. The design and equipment of Selma make her an ideal expedition boat destined to sail in extreme and difficult conditions. Robust, equipped for safe and independent navigation on long-distance cruises in high latitudes and remote areas. Arctic and Antarctic proven. Countless nautical miles in the wake.
