Alden 44 1979

DRASTICALLY REDUCED! OWNER IS MOTIVATED TO SELL, SO BRING YOUR OFFERS! The Alden 44, designed by Alden Associates and Neils Helleberg, is a remarkable American sailboat created for International Offshore Rule racing. Its striking features include a raked stem, a raised counter reverse transom, and a skeg-mounted rudder operated by a wheel. With aluminum spars, a fixed stub fin keel, and a retractable centerboard, this vessel combines performance with comfort. Richard Sherwood praised the Alden 44 in 1994, stating it is crafted for IOR competition while offering numerous cruising amenities. The boat is known for its moderate displacement, speed, stability, and ability to sail close to the wind. In a 2014 review, Steve Knauth highlighted its unique cutter rig, keel/centerboard design, and skeg-hung rudder, noting that it embodies the Alden tradition of racing and cruising yachts. Capable of accommodating a crew of seven, the Alden 44 quickly gained a reputation for bluewater racing and long-distance cruising. As Sail magazine points out, the Alden 44 is often described as 'classy, sleek, and beautiful.' The yacht 'Gammon' stands out as an exceptional example of this timeless design. With its enduring beauty, quality craftsmanship, and impressive performance in all sea conditions, Gammon is a true thoroughbred, ideal for those seeking a distinctive sailing experience.
