1983 Whisstock Selestra 42

The Whisstock Selestra 42 is an aluminum cruising sailboat built in 1983 by the respected British shipyard known for mastering aluminum construction techniques. This model belongs to the Selestra series, which produced cruisers ranging from 38 to 72 feet. The hull measures 42 feet in length with a 12.58-foot beam, and the boat is powered by a single 45-horsepower Perkins diesel engine.

The interior accommodates two cabins and one head. The boat has logged extensive offshore passages across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Caribbean, demonstrating its capability as a blue-water cruiser.

Between 2009 and 2019, the yacht underwent significant systems upgrades. The electrical, propane, black water, and grey water systems were overhauled and fitted with stainless steel tanks. In 2016, the engine was removed, acid-dipped, and rebuilt. All ports and hatches were replaced in 2019 with stainless steel and tempered glass fittings. A hydraulic autopilot was installed in 2019. The boat sustained damage during a recent hurricane.
