Boothbay explorer alden
3 / 13 - score 59%
The Boothbay explorer alden is a 58.58ft masthead ketch designed by John G. Alden & Associates and built in fiberglass by Hodgdon Bros. (USA) between 1971 and 1974.
5 units have been built.
The Boothbay explorer alden is a heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. 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 quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
