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.
2006 1926 Alden Schooner
This John Alden designed, Harvey Gammage built auxiliary gaff-rigged schooner is simply an amazing vessel... complete restoration done with style and knowledge. Pictures will speak for themselves. A true treasure. HALF MOON is virtually a new boat. It has a new cold molded hull which eliminates the risks and ongoing maintenance/cost issues associated with old wooden boats. It has the unique distinction of being a new boat with state of the art electronics, navigation, systems and auxiliary, with a 1926 identity.John Alden had an alternate design for this production boat which was a Marconi rig. His specifications were used when changing the main rig from gaff to Marconi.The present layout is a modified Alden layout for this design. New ideas which were incorporated in to the design were the dual functioning doors in the head passageway area which allow for the ability to have a large shower/head area that flows from the port side to the starboard side. In addition, the entire head area is clad in corian for easy cleaning and waterproofing. Also, the butterfly hatch in the owners stateroom is removable and can be rotated so that it can function as an air scoop. The forward hatch also functions in this manner.
