Owner wants it sold. Bring Offers.
CADENCE, one of only three Alden Yachts 43’s in existence, is an exceptional example of American craftsmanship. Since launch she has been lovingly cared for and continuously updated by three successive experienced yachtsmen-owners, the first of whom was an investor in Alden Yachts, Rick Chapin, who named her ALESTRA. This powerful blue water yacht has been yard maintained to the highest standard and is ready to carry her master to any port in comfort and safety. She is stunningly beautiful and turns heads in every harbor. Her cherry interior with ultra-suede upholstery and Corian countertops surrounds owner and guests with light and luxury. Her “Bristol” condition and extensive inventory reflects the owner’s refusal to compromise on quality and safety.
With her roller furling sails, and electric self tailing winches, she is an easily handled, safe and comfortable cruising yacht, perfect for a family, plus the assurance of offshore capability. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
