Boat Description

FOR ADOPTION: This exquisite yacht, cherished by the same couple for over 40 years, is now seeking a new family to embrace her timeless elegance and adventurous spirit. The 1939 36’5” John Alden Coastwise Cutter, affectionately named 'Ballerina', is a remarkable vintage wooden sailboat that embodies the charm of her era. Recently hauled in 2024, she boasts fresh bottom and topside paint, and is well-protected with custom canvas covers for all railings and exposed wood, including the cabin top. Crafted with precision, her hull features Philippine mahogany planking and white oak frames, complemented by a teak cockpit and walkway over the bowsprit. Built by the renowned Graves Yacht Yard in Marblehead, Massachusetts, known for its classic high-performance sailboats, she is powered by a reliable 45HP Kubota engine with only 130 hours of use. Below deck, you'll enjoy a spacious 6'3" headroom, a cozy salon with port and starboard settees, a compact yet functional galley with two iceboxes, and ample custom cabinetry storage. Accommodations include a forward owner's stateroom with a queen berth, an adjacent head compartment, and comfortable forward V-berths for two. Additional highlights are Dacron sails by North (mainsail, jib, and Yankee headsail), stainless steel standing rigging, and six winches, with an approximate 50 ft air draft making her ideal for ICW travel. This John Alden classic is a must-see—a true piece of sailing history that captures attention wherever she sails. Located in Tavernier, Florida Keys.
