Alden 56 Custom

A gorgeous example of true American craftsmanship, ANGUS III has always been maintained in superb condition and has been thoughtfully updated. Truly a superlative in todays market.

She has three beautiful staterooms, a full width Master Cabin, two heads, a delightful large salon adjacent to and easily accessible 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 3196 diesels, fully rebuilt in 2019 in Maine, yielding 21 knots top end with 18 knot hi cruise speed. Coolers replaced with new coolers in 2019 and 2022.

Her freshly painted hull shines and is in virtually perfect condition. This paint job was not a quick fix paint job, rather, a very substantial down to the fibreglass paint job.

She has also had many small things that make a big difference: LED lighting, BOSE systems, and updates so numerous, etc.

Further, should slow be your operating speed, she also becomes a trawler, sipping fuel gingerly, if required.

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

Heated Winter storage paid in tax free Rhode Island. Potential 60' slip available for 2023 season.
