The Alden Boothbay Explorer is a substantial and meticulously crafted masthead ketch, designed by the renowned firm of John G. Alden & Associates, with Clifford Swain also credited in its design. Built by Hodgdon Bros. in East Boothbay, Maine, between 1971 and 1974, this 58-foot, heavy-displacement monohull was conceived as a capable offshore cruiser or explorer, prioritizing seaworthiness, comfort, and the ability to carry significant stores for extended voyages. With only five units produced, the Boothbay Explorer stands as a rare testament to bespoke American yacht building, reflecting Hodgdon's legacy of combining traditional craftsmanship with robust construction in an evolving era of boatbuilding.
