#AldenKetch #ClassicSailboat #BluewaterCruiser #SailboatTour #LiveaboardSailboat The NICEST Sailboat We've Ever Seen?! A 1973 Custom Alden Ketch for $159K – FULL TOUR [[SOLD AS OF 08/30/2025!]] This one’s WAY above our usual budget... but when Canadian Ken and I saw this stunning 47’ Custom Alden Ketch—built by Poul Molich & Sons in Denmark—we knew we had to see her. And folks, AURORA did not disappoint. Meet AURORA, a 1973 John Alden-designed center cockpit ketch with a centerboard underbody and Airex-cored fiberglass hull. She’s the real deal: ocean-ready, gorgeously maintained, and loaded with custom craftsmanship. Only three long-term owners since new? That tells you everything. ⚓ Why She's BoatFools-Worthy: – Built by Denmark’s legendary Poul Molich & Sons (not the usual UK-built Aldens!) – Keel-centerboard design: Bluewater tough, skinny-water capable – Airex-cored fiberglass hull, glass deck under teak overlay – Glued-down, screwed-and-bung-free teak decks = no leak nightmares – Electric winches + roller furling main & mizzen = singlehander’s dream – Spacious: 3 cabins, 2 heads = room for guests without going nuts – Powered by a strong 85hp Perkins diesel + Sidepower bow thruster This boat is more than pretty teak and classic lines—it’s a true go-anywhere cruiser. If you’ve got the budget, AURORA could be your forever boat. 📍Located: Midcoast Maine at Journey’s End Marina – stored indoors 📧 Contact: [SOLD 08/30/2025] 🕰️ Video Chapters: 00:00 Intro – Tris down below 00:09 Tris & Canadian Ken Introduce THE BOAT 01:15 Cockpit Tour 04:13 Up on Deck 08:06 Aft Companionway Entry 09:53 Main Salon Walkthrough 12:56 Forward Cabin & 2nd Head 14:48 Engine Room Tour – That Big Perkins! 17:18 Rudder, Keel, Prop, Topsides 20:21 Champagne & Final Thoughts 📬 Sign up for The BoatFools Report – our free newsletter full of used boat market insights, tips, and hidden gem listings: http://www.theboatfoolsreport.com We’re off next week – back with another sweet boat on 4/26.
