Other Alden boats for sale in Connecticut, United States
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.
