1936 Alden Cutter

Lovely John G. Alden designed one of a kind Cutter.
Built in 1936 in the Palmer Johnson Shipyard. The hull and deck house are built of mahogany the decks are teak. 36 feet on deck, she has a full compliment of sails and several extras as well. I can stand up in the cabin and am slightly over six feet tall. The deck house is divided into an aft pilot's berth, which sleeps two, the main salon which sleeps five, the galley, a forward storage area, and the head. There are separate entrances to the pilot's berth and the main salon, so that the crew can go up on deck with out disturbing the rest of the pilots.

She has had a fairly recent haul out and survey which found her to be sound. We were fitting her out for an electric engine because the original atomic four was no longer functional and we did not want to stick with a gasoline engine on a wooden boat. So included in the sale would be eight 80 AH AGM batteries, and one 100 AH AGM as well as a couple of deep cycle marine batteries, all in solid working condition.
She is a beautiful boat who needs a bit of love to make her truly shine. The bulwark has some dry rot and needs to be repaired/replaced, but the rot does not extend to the shear plank and is thus more cosmetic than structural. She needs some painting and varnishing, but the hull is sound and she is in remarkable condition for her age. Sale includes the original Kelvin and White compass which mounts in the binnacle and is gently illuminated by an indirect red light and is a piece of art in itself. She is berthed in Moss Landing.

Please email Jack with any questions, to arrange a time to see her or to request more photographs. There are many photos, but they do not do her justice, you really must go aboard to fully appreciate her.. She is a one of a kind sailing vessel designed and built by masters in a time when ship building was still the purview of sailors.

Asking $13,000 OBO.
