  1912 88 Feet Alden  Schooner

Description
A John Alden classic of impeccable pedigree and design (design #21), 'Wendameen' is a perfect example of Alden's development and refinement of the well-loved Gloucester fisherman schooner to yachting purposes. In effect, 'Wendameen' is a small fishing schooner with very fine lines to emphasize speed, weatherliness, and simplicity of rig, while maintaining sufficient beam for steady comfort. A tall order for any modern yacht, let alone one from 1912, but perfectly fulfilled in 'Wendameen!' The interior is finished simply, elegantly, and is highly suitable for charter guests or sail-training purposes. With a few modifications, 'Wendameen' can also return to her original purpose as a private yacht that anyone would be proud to claim as their own! It is assumed by many that John Alden used the plans from 'Wendameen' to subsequently develop his well-loved 'Malabar' designs of the 1920-30's, and the many similarities are definitely there to be seen (but on a somewhat larger scale).

'Wendameen' has been in the charter trade in Maine under the present owner since 1990 and has just passed her Coast Guard charter certification once again with flying colors (06/03/04). The current owner purchased the vessel in the early '80's in a dreadful state of disrepair, but with much persistence and a LOT of hard work, has managed to bring 'Wendameen' back from the brink of destruction to the outstanding condition she is in now. I have personally inspected the ship (06/02/04), and have taken a large number of photographs to document her solid construction and splendid state of repair while the yacht was hauled out for her Spring maintenance. While most of these photos are of primary interest to the shipwright (bilges, sheerclamps, beam shelves, framing, etc, etc), all of these are available to you should you be interested in the possible purchase of this timeless vessel before making the trip up to Maine! Please have a look at the full specifications and attached photos to get a better idea of what a true classic schooner is all about! UPDATE: OWNER ANXIOUS TO SELL, MAKE A REASONABLE OFFER NOW!!!
