Hi Gang,
I came across a new-to-me Alden Challenger by the name of COMPASS ROSE located in Stonington, CT, a few days ago, but waited until the auction was officially over in order to comply with the site rule about not posting items for sale. Now that the boat's been sold, anyone interested can check out the original listing and pictures at:

EDIT: Added a space after the colon to prevent the link from turning into an ad.
To my eye, COMPASS ROSE looks to be a Challenger finished by Molich in Denmark. The only Challenger known to the Alden Registry to carry this name was 949-G, originally named ADVENTURE and based out of Port Washington, NY. That boat was indeed finished by Molich - but in 1961 - while the boat that just sold is identified by the seller as a 1960 Alden.
Anyways, hopefully the new owner will find thus forum!
