Close, Jon. After checking the SBO Alden owners group forum,...the last picture is an alden caravelle 42, not aeolus. very heavy built, five sails up that take 21 lines to control, rolling along prolly doing mid 8s to 9 knots while giving one of the sweetest ride around. it's all about the ride
the stern wave is well behind the taff rail nice
I think HIGHLIGHT is #949F, the 6th Alden Challenger built in 1960. http://www.aldendesigns.com/99years/detail.php?ID=1800
Amazingly, I was onboard HIGHLIGHT in Cuttyhunk many years ago. At that point she was DAPHNE.

We have all this historical record on the SBO thanks to MIT, Alden's fine records and finally, Iain McAllister from Scotland, to thank for making this available and updating it.
I met Iain and his son, Magnus, in Rockport more than 10 years ago. He was captain and caretaker of the PEGGY BAWN, a more than 100 year old treasure also from Scotland.
Iain sailed this museum piece on and off the docks here in Rockport, he knows his stuff.
She has nice looking lines on her bottom.Close, Jon. After checking the SBO Alden owners group forum,...
