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.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
