Used Alden 48 Sailboats for Sale

The Alden 48 represents a significant chapter in the storied legacy of Alden Yachts, a builder synonymous with elegant, seaworthy, and capable vessels. Launched in 1987, this masthead sloop was conceived by the renowned design office of John G. Alden, specifically based on Alden design #1193, with later specific custom builds often credited to Niels Helleberg. Positioned as a mid-sized offering within a successful lineage that includes the Alden 46 and 50, the Alden 48 embodies the company's philosophy of creating yachts that are not only comfortable and seakindly but also surprisingly quick, making it a desirable choice for serious coastal cruising and long offshore passages.
