Boothbay challenger alden
6 / 14 - score 52%
The Boothbay challenger alden is a 58.58ft masthead ketch designed by John G. Alden & Assoc, and built in fiberglass by Hodgdon Bros. (USA) between 1968 and 1976.
14 units have been built.
The Boothbay challenger alden is a heavy sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
