Description

PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATIONS

1998 Alden 56 Custom
A gorgeous example of true American craftsmanship, ANGUS III has always been maintained in superb condition and has been thoughtfully updated.

She has three beautiful staterooms, two heads, a delightful large salon adjacent to her cockpit, a gourmet chefs galley, and large pilothouse with exceptionally well laid out navionics and communications gear along with control systems.

She is powered by a pair of CAT diesels, fully rebuilt in 2019, yielding 21 knots top end with 18 knot hi cruise speed.

Her freshly painted hull shines and is in virtually perfect condition.

She also, very economically, becomes a trawler, sipping gingerly, but ready if necessary to go like the dickens.

ANGUS III is a superb choice, should you be looking for a properly configured, fit out, safe, extremely well maintained yacht.

She is tried and true. She does not try to be everyone’s something-or-other.

Winter storage paid in tax free Rhode Island – INDOOR – that would be heated storage.
