Cheoy Lee Alden Offshore 50
Description
The Alden 50 (Cheoy Lee), also known as the Cheoy Lee Offshore 50 or Cheoy Lee Alden 50, is a classic fiberglass monohull sailboat designed by John G. Alden and built by Cheoy Lee Shipyard in Hong Kong, starting in 1967. It is distinct from the later Alden 50/54 built by Alden Yachts in the late 1980s. This heavy-displacement ketch is renowned for its robust construction and suitability for blue water cruising

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
