| 1996 Alden 45
- Location:
Falmouth
Foreside, ME Notes: Affinity is number 7 of the 8 Alden 43/45 design built by Alden Yachts in the 1990's. She sails fast and flat with modern bulb-keel hydrodynamic design and composite internal structure. The 45's are also outstandingly beautiful boats. Affinity's unique features include a brand-new GMT carbon-fiber spar, new Navtec rod rigging, and a GMT update to her Leisure Furl in-boom furling system. She represents a high-point of classic 20th century lines and proportions, combined with a fully modern keel and underbody. Designed by J.G. Alden in Boston and built on a semi-custom basis by Alden Yachts in Portsmouth, RI, to the highest standards. The composite technologies developed by Alden Yachts with their suppliers of resins and materials have been widely adopted by the entire marine industry. Affinity's hull, decks and gelcoat are in near-perfect condition, as is the varnished teak trim. Cabin layout and joinerwork below are outstanding. The combination of form, function and durability at Affinity's level is now a rarity even in fully custom yachts at multiples of this price. She compares more than favorably to any upmarket production brand. The boat has been very lightly used, maintained to high standards, and presents as being substantially new. About 1550 hours on a strong Westerbeke 63 Diesel. A variety of sails in excellent condition, including a fully battened in-boom furling main and a new radial 95% furling jib for ease of sail handling. I have owned Affinity for 8 years. With advancing time, I hope the affinity I have felt towards the boat and the pleasure we have had sailing her will be experienced for years to come by another appreciative owner.
