Alden 44
Ã? Ã? Ã? "Classy, sleek and beautiful are words typically heard when admirers first encounter the Alden 44.Ã? This yacht exudes power and style with a cutter rig, long graceful sheer, teak decks and quality hardware. The open cockpit is roomy enough for an intimate cocktail party of six during calm weather but designed to keep sailors warm and dry in a pounding sea.Ã?Â
For traditionalists, the Alden 44 is a dream yacht, well-proportioned� overall, slender at the beam, sturdily built, big enough to sleep eight, seaworthy and especially pretty. " ~ David Liscio for Sailing� Magazine
ConstructionÃ? Ã? Ã? "The boatââ?¬â?¢s fiberglass hull is vacuum bagged with a balsa core. The decks are similarly constructed as a sandwich of fiberglass and lightweight woods.Ã?Â
� � � The hull can reach three-quarter-inch thickness in some places and is solidly constructed of hand-laid roving. Unidirectional fiberglass cloth has been added to reinforce high-stress areas. The deck is made with a similar sandwich construction and through-bolted to the hull. The deck-to-hull connection was made sturdier by an inward flange and 3M 5200 sealant
Ã? Ã? Ã? The keel is lead, which outranks cast iron in quality and durability. Teak deckboards and brightwork enhance the overall appearance. A blend of exotic woodsââ?¬â??mostly teakââ?¬â??were used to trim out the cabin interior.": ~ David Liscio for Sailing Magazine
