New Model: Jet Tern 46 Artemis

Jet Tern Marine, the builder of Selene Ocean Trawlers has introduced a new line of motor cruisers and yachts designed by Howard Chen, the founder and president of the Chinese boat yacht builder. This new line is named the Artemis after the Greek goddess often identified with Selene and will be built at the Jet Tern facility in Zhu-Hai, China. The Artemis line was developed in response to consistent and strong market demand for performance yachts built by Jet Tern. Eventually, models from 36 to 66 feet will be developed. The first model in the Artemis series is a 46 footer that splashed in November and is the result of months of design, development, and tooling by Howard Chen and his team. The Artemis 46 is a two stateroom, two-head yacht ideal for cruisers seeking quality construction as well as speed. The Artemis 46 has a beam over four meters, walkaround decks, and extended flybridge which covers the aft cockpit. A stylish sliding door opens to the saloon with a contemporary design and built-in settees with seating for four around an adjustable table. The interior layout is open with the helm station to starboard and the galley down two steps to port. Hull 4602 is equipped with twin Yanmar 380hp engines and is designed to cruise at 23 knots.

Project: Jet Tern Selene 44

Selene announce and present the newest project in the next generation series the 44. First delivery is to be in early 2010. Like the other next generation models, the 44 is designed to be a serious passage maker and a superlative coast wise and inland cruiser. As a next generation model, the Selene 44 features the Cruiser Stern. The new hull design results in nearly a one-foot increase in engine room headroom to 66 inches and allows plenty of room for the proven, standard Cummins 230hp engine. The extra height also allows for expansion of the fuel tanks to a total of 1,000 U.S. gallons. Thanks to the extra height in the engine room, the tanks are designed to be narrower yielding even more space in the engine room. The new 44 replaces the 43 with an additional half a foot on the LOA increasing the interior saloon space by six more inches. Its innovative cruiser stern increases hull efficiency by around 8% as measured in tank tests. The increased hull efficiency translates into fuel savings as well as more sea-kindly handling in following seas. Evolved from the original Selene 43 which had a center line galley, the new Selene 44 has the galley offset to starboard providing a more spacious and accommodating saloon with easy access to the pilothouse. The pilothouse settee is L-shaped and also offset to starboard which creates room for a small helm chair in the pilothouse. With a spacious master stateroom forward, the new Selene 44 is ideal for couple’s cruising though an additional stateroom to port can accommodate occasional guests. There are two full heads with enclosed showers. Though the Selene 44 is at the smaller end of trawlers built by Jet Tern Marine she is equipped with many features like a washer/dryer and Frigoboat freezer usually found on larger yachts. Her engine and tank size make capable of long-distance cruising and at a seven knots cruise speed the trawler will offer a 3,000 mile range.

Improve-it = Jet Tern Selene 36

Exciting news from the continuous design improvement at Jet-Tern Marine. A new cruiser stern has been added on Selene 36 model. Selene-3631 is the second boat fitted with this new stern design with the first one already being delivered to a Russian customer in early 2009. Selene 3631 was tested at a marina nearby Jet Tern Marine’s Dong Guan shipyard. From these water tests the cruiser stern increases the water line length therefore improving the boat trim by locating the additional ballast to the far end. Other benefits include larger wet area storage and better manoeuvring at the quarter wave and an overall increase in the boat’s displacement. These subtle improvements will ultimately enhance Selene 36/40’s offshore cruising performance. A larger rudder has also been designed for this new boat providing better tracking course through the water due to the larger wet surface area.
