BVI Yacht Sales Overview
1990 50′ Alden 50 ‘Ronald Van Bremen’
Rarely does a classic of this pedigree come on the market in such upgraded and well-maintained condition
With her powerful engine and efficient, easy to handle sail plan, ‘Roland Von Breman’ is a joy to experience underway. Below decks she is welcoming and elegant with private accommodations for six to eight and a galley that is both easy to work in underway and is well out of the traffic flow with more than adequate counter space and storage.
Never mind that she receives compliments everywhere she goes, the best thing is how an Alden sails! Certainly a head turner, and likely one of the most beautiful American yacht designs ever built. This Alden is a once in a lifetime type of vessel that was custom built in 1990 , to the tune of (adjusted for inflation) $1.3 Million. With her incredible solid wood cabinetry and highest quality hardware, this is vessel that would be difficult to impossible to reproduce today. She has crossed the Atlantic three times, sailed around the world and made multiple passages between the east coast of the US and the Caribbean islands.
If you are looking for a proven blue water cruiser, look no further….. She will not last long at this price!
