1978 Alden 44 Aft Cockpit13m

Builder: Tillotson Pearson International

Designer: John G Alden

Keel: Centerboard

Sail Plan: Sloop / Cutter

Year: 1978

A companionway ladder at the aft end of the main salon leads to a cabin top entrance hatch.  The engine compartment is below this entrance.   The galley is located to starboard of the companionway however with counter space and a double stainless sink located on the centerline.  The head is located to port and aft of the companionway.  Access to the aft owner's cabin is provided by a passage from the galley area or through the port side head.  The owner's cabin features port and starboard quarter berths , beautifully crafted navigation table, very generous storage areas/lockers and a starboard companionway access to the cockpit.

The main salon itself offers a centerline, drop-leaf varnished table, port and starboard settees.  The port settee can be extended for a wider berth and there also is a sea berth above the port settee.  Storage is provided above and outboard of the settees.  Opening ports and a large opening hatch provide excellent ventilation and there are two teak-framed 12V fans mounted on the forward bulkhead as well.  

 The forward cabin offers a large V-berth with filler.  A starboard side hanging locker and numerous lockers and drawers provide an exceptional amount of storage.  A teak-framed 12V fan, opening ports and hatch combine to keep this forward berth/cabin well ventilated.

 In general, there is classic Alden quality throughout the boat including varnished teak joinery and a teak/maple sole.  The ambiance as well as the substance of such high standard design and construction cannot be overstated.
