The current and second owners of CARA LYNN have made the ongoing investment in
upgrades. Her classic profile with aft cockpit is a standout wherever she
cruises. This exceptionally strong, sea kindly performance cruising yacht has an
exquisite two stateroom varnished teak interior and is very well equipped for
extended shorthanded offshore cruising. Her shoal draft keel with centerboard
allows access to many more sailing areas and harbors.

Accommodations include a very comfortable main salon, spacious galley, wide
navigation center, large master suite forward with double V berth with ensuite
head with separate stall shower, aft guest cabin with convertible queen, and
guest/day head is conveniently located adjacent to the companionway. 

Upgrades in 2014/2015 include the addition of a bow thruster, 2 new heads (one
electric), new holding tank, bottom and keel refinished and painted and
unstepping, disassembling and inspecting rigging and repainting mast. Also the
hull was Awl Gripped and the hydraulic system upgraded. The approximate cost of
the 2014/15 upgrades was $60,000. Former upgrades include Seafrost holding plate
refrigeration, full rudder bearing service in 2008, North MPS with sock (2006),
Northstar 952 GPS plotter with cockpit repeater, new headliners throughout, and
rebedded deck hatches, genoa tracks and opening ports.

For sailors looking for a beautiful, proven, high quality, semi custom, hand
crafted, performance cruising design, that is fast and sea kindly, the Alden 46
Cara Lynn is worthy of a serious look. She is one of Alden’s most popular
designs. The cost to replace her today would be approximately $1.2 million if
built by an established New England yard. Her large aft cockpit, wide side decks
and foredeck make her a pleasure to sail. The sea-kindly hull and shoal draft
keel design and spacious interior arrangement offers superior safety and comfort
for offshore passagemaking or coastal cruising.
