1989 Alden 50

JUST REDUCED!

We are proud to represent Symphony, the stunning aft cockpit 1989 Alden 50. The Alden 50's are known for their "yacht like" good looks as well as being proven performance cruisers. Symphony is no exception. With her dark green hull, gold cove stripe, white boot top, varnished toe rail, white deck with contrasting non-skid Symphony does the 50 series proud in any harbor.

The profile of Symphony is only part of the story. The Alden craftsmanship is evident when you first step on board. The interior is satin cherry, with a teak and holly sole. Symphony's salon however is not like many of the other Alden 50’s. When the present owner purchased the boat (winter 2013), the starboard side had two barrel chairs with a fold up table between. Two built in seats/settees were fabricated by McMillen Yachts. (April 2013) making the salon on Symphony on par with any yacht of this size this broker has ever seen. In addition, to the new seats a new salon table was fabricated (the original is in storage), and new cushions were installed.

"Symphony " is currently in her slip and being daysailed, she is likely the "prettiest girl on the dock". The tan canvas, bimini, two sets of cockpit cushions (2013), as well as the custom teak "surfing seats", complete look of this pedigree yacht.

Schedule a showing soon, there are not many pedigree sailboats in this size range to choose anymore.
