Marguerite is
number 8 of the 13 Alden
Dolphins built. She was designed by John Alden and built at the Hodgdon Bros yard in
Boothbay Harbor, Maine in 1974. Alden had a reputation for designing
fast, comfortable boats and Hodgdon Bros have an excellent
reputation for quality construction and finish work. Her specifications
are listed below.
She has had two owners
before us. The original owner sailed her to Europe earning the New
York Yacht Club Cruising Award in 1988.
Her last owners,
a
retired Marine Corps officer and his wife, cruised her extensively from
Nova Scotia
to the Bahamas.
