1930 ALDEN SCHOONER

Few vessels command the water with the timeless authority of a John G Alden schooner, and this magnificent 1930 example represents one of the most coveted classic sailing yachts to come to the New Zealand market. Stretching an impressive 20.4 metres with a beam of 4.35m and a working draft of 2.19m, this monohull schooner embodies the golden age of offshore sail. John G Alden was one of America's most celebrated naval architects, responsible for some of the most seaworthy and beautiful schooner designs ever committed to paper - designs that have completed ocean passages and won races across the globe for nearly a century. Offering two-cabin accommodation, this vessel is ideal for extended bluewater cruising or as a prestige liveaboard with unmatched character and provenance. Currently berthed at the well-appointed Marsden Cove Marina, she is positioned for immediate exploration of New Zealand's spectacular coastline and beyond. With her price recently reduced to NZD $690,000, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a true nautical icon. Serious enquiries only - classic vessels of this pedigree, age, and designer reputation rarely present themselves twice.
