Alden, Inc. and built in Portsmouth, RI to the rigorous standards of American Bureau of Shipping-A1 offshore certification. She’s a proven world cruiser, having earned the rare honor of completing a circumnavigation. Alden Yachts is a renowned top of the line yacht builder since 1909, known for rugged construction, superior joinery, high quality equipment and speed. She was customized by her current (and only) owners for self-reliant world cruising and outfitted specifically for their ten year circumnavigation. They refer to her as the ultimate cruising boat, based on their extensive blue water experience sailing aboard their two previous boats. “Halekai” has been meticulously maintained and constantly upgraded to the highest standards. The dark green hull was awl-gripped and the diesel engine was rebuilt during a $50,000 refit in 2011/12. A complete electronic refit was done in 2019. The layout consists of a large chain locker/storage compartment with watertight door, forward guest stateroom with head/shower, main salon, nav station, walk-in workshop, walk-through galley, and aft master stateroom with head/shower. Due to her partially enclosed center cockpit from which they can set and adjust the roller-furled sails, they “never needed foul weather gear in 120,000 miles of sailing. YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS BOAT! She’s the perfect world cruiser for a couple or family, and she has the experience and pedigree to prove it. Her stunning lines and graceful curves speak to her performance at sea, and the modifications that her owners have made to her have made her a self-contained “island” where you can be fully self sufficient. Basically, all the work has been done for you to make this boat the ideal world cruiser. All you have to do is provision and set sail. Note that third cabin has been customized into full workshop. Equipment: Too much to list. Contact Melanie for full equipment list. Commissioned, owned, and cruised by Seven Seas Cruising Association Commodores Built to circumnavigate with many customizations Hydraulic centerboard: 55 draft up, 13 down Custom 63 mast height for ICW bridges Minimal maintenance required on deck with stainless handrails and aluminum toerails.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more. Classic hull speed formula: Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL Sail Area / Displacement RatioA measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more. SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3 - SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement RatioA measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize. Ballast / Displacement * 100 Displacement / Length RatioA measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more. D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³ - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort RatioThis ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 ) - D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening FormulaThis formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more. CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64) Alden design #1180x. (ALDEN 50/52/54). Of this series, the ALDEN 50 was the first boat planned and the last built. Not to be confused with another ALDEN 50 built by Cheoy Lee, a much earlier design. See ALDEN 54 (1985). This listing is presented by SailboatListings.com .

 Alden 50 Boats for sale 1989 Alden 50Norwalk, Connecticut Category Racer Boats Posted Over 1 Month 1989 Alden 50 Prestige Yacht Sales is proud to represent Symphony, the stunning aft cockpit 1989 Alden 50. The Alden 50's are known for their "yacht like" good looks as well as being proven performance cruisers. Symphony is no exception. With her dark green hull, gold cove stripe, white boot top, varnished toe rail, white deck with contrasting non-skid Symphony does the 50 series proud in any harbor. The profile of Symphony is only part of the story. The Alden craftsmanship is evident when you first step on board. The interior is satin cherry, with a teak and holly sole. Symphony's salon however is not like many of the other Alden 50’s. When the present owner purchased the boat (winter 2013), the starboard side had two barrel chairs with a fold up table between. Two built in seats/settees were fabricated by McMillen Yachts. (April 2013) making the salon on Symphony on par with any yacht of this size this broker has ever seen. In addition, to the new seats a new salon table was fabricated (the original is in storage), and new cushions were installed. "Symphony " is currently in her slip and being daysailed, she is likely the "prettiest girl on the dock". The tan canvas, bimini, two sets of cockpit cushions (2013), as well as the custom teak "surfing seats", complete look of this pedigree yacht. Schedule a showing soon, there are not many pedigree sailboats in this size range to choose anymore.  1994 Alden 50 Custom Motor YachtPalm Beach Gardens, Florida Model 50 Custom Motor Yacht Category Powerboats 1994 Alden 50 Custom Motor Yacht Last Resort has a comfortable, three stateroom layout. She is beautifully finished in varnished cherry. Soles are solid varnished teak and holly throughout. Many updates 2012  1932 Alden Sloop/CutterDania Beach, Florida Model Sloop/Cutter Category Classics 1932 Alden Sloop/Cutter One of John Alden's finest designs was the Sloop-Cutter Design No. 531, for Mr. Ralph Forbes, of Boston, MA. In 1932, Mr. Ralph E. Forbes of Boston, MA, commissioned the renown George Lawley and Sons to build S/Y Lark. Ralph Emerson Forbes was the son of William Hathaway Forbes and Edith Emerson (daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson). The Forbes spent many years of memorable sailing with their family and notable guests out of Naushon Island. This is a two owner yacht that has been sailed by the Forbes family for 50 years. She is very capable at sea, racing and entertaining guests. In 1972, Captain Eric Little (a master shipwright), purchased the S/Y Lark, sailing her every summer in the Elizabeth Islands, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and cruising Cape Cod. During the winters, Captain Little completed restorations including replacing a majority of the frames, floors, and planking. George Lawley and Sons built hundreds of ships and yachts, most notably the yachts Puritan and Mayflower respective winners of the 1885 and 1886, America's Cup (and the fine sloop Lark).

Her graceful & bullet-proof Full-Keel/Centerboard solid fiberglass hull only draws 4'3" with the centerboard up and 9'5" when down, for exhilarating upwind performance offshore. Owners report that they rarely drop the CB because she sails so well with it up, prompting some to comment, according to Practical Sailor, that "it didn't matter if it was blowing 7 knots or 18 knots, you can leave the helm, go get a cold drink below, come back, and find the boat just as you'd left her." She has a traditional layout with an unusually large 6'7" L. x 7' W.

Practical Sailor had this to say about this classic Morgan 41 model: "A great upgrade candidate for any handy and determined sailor, the Morgan 41 is a well-designed, cross-purpose boat with the face of a classic, the heart of a racer, and the body of a cruiser. The Morgan 41 Sloop is arguably one of the best looking of many lovely dual-purpose sailboats that the Cruising Club of America handicap rating system engendered. One owner described his boat as a "Bermuda 40 for a regular Joe, only prettier." You won't find a better example of this classic Centerboard Yawl which has been loved, pampered, and upgraded by her knowledgeable owners for the past 28 years.

An Alden 50 year anniversary?- Thread starter TomY

- Alden General Chat
 When I met Jon on Muskrat this summer, we talked a bit about the potential to put something together next season. So to restart this idea, who's interested and may be able to get together, summer of 2010, in New England, for an Alden 50 year anniversary? Attachments Philip dannAs I plan to launch in a slightly unfinished state next year,assuming I get my visa,and not wanting to travel too far for a start, how about getting together in Hamburg cove just up the Connecticut river,it would be nice to see some of the people I know from this site plus I could look closely at all your nice boats and plan how I could get Blackstar into that condition. Philip Dann We hope to travel to Buzzards Bay and points south next summer. 1. As talked about, all Alden Challengers, Zephyrs, Mistrals, and Caravelles should try and meet. 2.How many are below the Cape and would be interested? 3. How many in the Cape Cod Bay area? Portsmouth north? 4. I think we need to star some preliminary planning sooner rather than later. If we could get a ball park number it would be easier to plan a few rendezous along the coast(sp?) I'd be glad to help with planning. I know there are a number of classic boat rallys/regattas/events in Maine over the course of the summer and I'm sure there are some in So New England as well. We're bummed- we haul the masts on Wed and go to the public ramp for a haulout/ truck ride to our neighbors yard in Cosy Harbor for the winter. One more sail tomorrow!! Jon  Scott KraftFour of the Caraavelle Owners got together about four years ago in Camden, Sawyers Cove and Northeast Harbor Maine, more by conincidence than by design. It was really a thrill checking out each other's boat and sailing in company in the Penobscot. As I have become the record keeper for the Caravelles, tracking down 16 of the 18 built, I would be more than happy to assist in putting together a rendezvous. In fact, I had been in discussion with Niels at Alden Design about a 100th anniversary rendezvous but the firm closed too soon to pull it off. Boston and Marblehead were discussed as possible locations allowing easy access from both Maine and Connecticutt. Mystic Seaport was discussed for their ability to promote Marque Rendezvous's such as the S & S gathering two years ago. Newport is also easy and we could become part of the Museum of Yachting Classic Yacht Regatta (Modern Classic division) over Labor Day Weekend. The Caravelle "Bounding Home" and the Challenger "Compass Rose" are home ported in Stonington and the Carvelle "Pearl" is next door in Mystic, Ct. We are ready to go! CaravelaofExeWelcome aboard Scott! At long last... I finally figured out this blog stuff. I much more comfortable with old boats than new computers!!!! And its all your fault! ![915_Bounding_Home_at_sunset[1].JPG](https://forums.sailboatowners.com/data/attachments/111/111396-c76e6977420e1a9a3d7e5ce8d98ac09a.jpg "alden 50 sailboat") Bounding Home was moored next to Serena for a few days summer of 2008. Mr. Roomet was out of town. I understand he is selling Serena because his wife has been ill. Beautiful boat. Very original. Very sad reason to sell.... Any other response to a rendezvous? I think this may be my first post here but am not sure. I registered a while back. I'd love to sail her up for the anniversary gathering if one is held. -not sure I will have the time however. At any rate, Here are a couple photos of Banjo Girl. She's Hodgdon No 3 I think of the Maine built Caravelle. I'm going pretty deep into some projects this fall and winter and I'll update the board later with some details and photos. For now here is one taken in the spring in cruising mode and another this summer in racing mode. ...cruising mode photo too large. -more later. best regards, Jay Z.  Great looking boat Jay. Would love to play host to you and Banjo Girl here in New England. As much fun as it might be to sail from texas to New England, it may be faster, cheaper and way less wear and tear to put her on a truck and then fly back and forth from Texas to Boston or Providence a few times during the season. Besides, we get fewer hurricanes here - that was the kiss of death for us!!!! We are thinking of bringing Moth to Maine next summer, Tom, (from Nantucket Sound), at least to the Portland area where our son will be finishing his second year of residency at Maine Medical - but not sure how much farther beyond that we'll be able to get given our time available. Probably more toward the late July window, but a rendezvous schedule could alter that. We had heard some scutttlebutt about an Alden event at Mystic being planned several years ago, but nothing seemed to come of it, and I expect their planning horizon would need more notice than months possibly. It is very cool to have the run of the seaport at night after closing, however, as a side benefit of being there... Still trying to get confirmation whether the Zephyrs and Mistrals had chainplate pockets molded into the hull and then faired over on the outside, or whether they are like the Caravelles', but sure look deeper and more substantial than an inside job. Moth probably shouldn't go more than another year or so before getting than taken care of one way or the other (just like the rudder rebuild) Another reason to finally get to retirement! HI EVERYONE, I'm the new owner of Pearl - a Caravelle yawl. We live on the Southern Connecticut Coast and go to Southwest Harbor Maine in the summer. So..... If you do an Alden cruise this summer to celebrate the 50 year anniversary - we'd be happy to participate and think we might be able to do more than that. As you all get to the stage of settling on dates and locale - I'm happy to help set up a dinner ashore if you end up in either Darien, Ct or Mount Desert Island or help in any number of ways. The cruising is better in Maine - and that's where I'm hoping the boat will be in July and August. But it would be great to meet up with Alden Owners where ever you may be in the North East for your 50th. We're still learning about the boat - I'm sure it would be terrifically helpful to catch up with a number of you. I can be reached at two oh three 252 0667 and I'm happy to help in some of the planning for the event or really help in any way I can. So we're having fun with the boat. Pearl's last sail of the year was in 32 to 40 knots it was a 40 degree day. This jib and jigger thing really works and as this is my first yawl I'd only ever done it once before in my life. Not a bad way to go when it is this windy. Except she did need new winches - so there were those torn ligaments in someone's hand.... we did not escape unscathed. The wounded will be around to tell the tail in the summer too. Anyway - glad there is this forum. Happy Holidays. Robin Johnson Hi Robin, glad you found the board. A get together is completely up in the air and open to anything. Keep the ideas coming. I suppose we'll have to get an idea of a locale eventually to see how many may actually be able to attend? Checked with Mystic Seaport and that was a little ( gulp) expensive- some where around $3/ft for dockage which is probably normal in the sound (but with no real area to drop the hook). I emailed Boston Water boat Marina- which I think is next to Alden's old office and have not heard back. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Just to throw out a thought- some time early July in Buzzards Bay/Bean town/Mass Bay area and then on to Maine?? I also think Cindy & I could set something up in the Boothbay region which is a good landfall from the south if that seems to work out. What about Castine after and then farther down east? Gorry- ain't it some snappy out! The wind finally let go so the curtains don't blow in the bedroom- they've stuck to the frost on the inside of the windows!! Jon Hi Jon, that sounds like a good hazy idea to me. I've been standing by to see what (if) others have in mind. Boston/Maine is a good idea to keep moving. Any word from the Boston dock idea? Actually yesterday I emailed Niels about spar drawings and he mentioned Boston Waterboat Marina. I emailed them about a month ago with no response but I think that might be related to the time of year. I emailed them again yesterday and if there is no reply next week I'll call on the land line. What ever happens it will be fun- have to have 3 boats at least!! southport said: What ever happens it will be fun- have to have 3 boats at least!! Click to expand If Buzzards Bay/Vinyard Sound is of any interest, Moth and Christmas first met in Lake Tashmoo on the north side of the Vinyard - which a really sweet and picturesque spot that is also an excellent and free anchorage within walking distance from Vinyard Haven. From there, an easy hitch to the canal and down to Maine in the prevailing sou'wester... Just a thought... I checked with our Commodore and manager and would like to offer the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club for a rendezvous site. We have over 200' of floating dock plus additional slip that can accommodate both Caravelles and Challengers. Tie ups are $3.50 per foot but I'm working on that part. Dodsons Boatyard on the northend of the harbor has a fixed dock at $3.00 per foot and moorings with launch service for $45 per night. We can offer anything from a BBQ on the terrace to full sit down dinner and at any price point that the participants may wish. There are also some fun, very informal meeting/drinking places like the Dog Watch where we can gather. On Friday evenings, SHYC runs a Beer Can PHRF Race with the gun at 1800 and open to all with a rating certificate and there is a $12 BBQ for participants afterward. I can also arrange for our RC to set a course for us on Saturday. For those not familiar with Stonington, it is a wonderful town for non-sailors to spend a weekend with shops, a museum, a beach and any number of restaurants. SHYC is planning a shuttle boat from our club docks out to Napatree Beach for members and guest without a boat or dinghy. It is also a good place for crew changes as the AmTrack stops in Mystic and New London. Suggested weekends would be Friday, July 9 and Saturday July 10 or Friday July 23 and Saturday July 24 as no other club or event have booked those dates as of today. The Caravelle Bounding Home and the Challenger Compass Rose (owned by Peter Gillie) are there to welcome you. Iain McAllister can vouch for our facilities as he brought the beautifully restored Peggy Baun to our club to compete in the Race Rock Regatta. Let me know if there is interest. Scott Kraft  Doubtful that I will be able to get Banjo Girl (992P) up for the annivesary but if something materializes my wife and I would enjoy escaping the Texas heat in July. It would also be great to see some sisterships and other fine looking Aldens.
