Alden 43
8 / 40 - score 59%
The Alden 43 is a 43.18ft masthead sloop designed by Niels Helleberg and built in fiberglass by Alden Yachts (USA) between 1992 and 1997.
The Alden 43 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is average. There is a good water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
