S/V Selkie: 1962 28′ Pearson Triton

Selkie is a Carl Alberg classic, full keeled with long overhangs and beautiful lines. She’s no spring chicken, but she’s strong; at least a few of her sisters have sailed around the world. She doesn’t have all the creature comforts of a 40’ Beneteau or an RV, but that’s not what we were looking for. We were looking for something simple, ruggedly built, and beautiful. We think we did well.

Previous owners have done a great job of beefing her up even further and modifying some of her characteristics. Follow this link for a full description of prior restoration efforts. You can also go to Selkie’s Current Restoration page to see some of the upgrades we’ve been working on since we came into her life. We’ve also compiled a page of Pearson Triton specific information here.
