History
Established in 2001.
Designed after the classic New England Crosby Cat designed boats, the Selina II was built in 1926 at Sweets Shipyard in Greenport, NY. At 41’6″ overall length she is the largest of the surviving vintage catboats. Her 16′ beam makes her incredibly roomy and stable, the ultimate in sailing comfort.
She is gaff-rigged, with a 48′ mast and a 35′ boom. On a normal sailing day we carry about 1000 sq. ft. of canvas and our guests are treated to an authentic old fashioned sailing experience. Passengers can opt to participate and help raise the sail, or simply sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. Her current sail was built in 2005 by Nathanial Wilson in Boothbay Harbor ME.
Raised on and around the Selina II, her current Coast Guard Licensed Captain, Iris Clarke is a grand daughter of her original owners.
