KESTREL is a gorgeous 1980 Alden 44 (Hull #15 of 38). These proven bluewater cruisers are renowned for their sturdy construction and proven capabilities on all points of sail, and for their ease of handling. She was owned for over 20 years by the previous owners and cruised many times from Maine to the Caribbean. During that time, she maintained the Maine sailing tradition of short sailing seasons and protected dry storage 7-8 months of the year. Most recently, the former owners, a family of 4, cruised her from Maine to the Dry Tortugas and back home to North Carolina. Current owner has continued to make upgrades including air conditioning, Mainsail cradle and Raymarine Axium Chartplotter.
According to Sailing Magazine: “This classy bluewater racer-cruiser is worth waiting for…This capable offshore racer-cruiser has made countless passages and won its fair share of hardware on the racecourse. The classy Alden design and high-quality construction methods have made the 44 an enduring boat…”
KESTREL has recent hull, cockpit, and mast Awlgrip, new SS Hood portlights throughout, new standing rigging, new radar and AIS, new 350w solar, new 65lb Mantus anchor, new 3 blade Max Prop Easy propellor, new bimini frame and canvas, and new dripless shaft seal. She’s been upgraded with 56hp turbo Yanmar diesel (1600 hrs.) and new Seafrost refrigeration/freezer. KESTREL is truly a handsome, classic Alden design, easy for an afternoon or weekend, extremely capable and comfortable for both coastal and blue water cruising, with room for the crew. This beauty is ready, safe, and proven for the family adventure anywhere you want to sail her!
