12/99 James.  I last wrote you that I was planning to sail to Tahiti in my 68 Cheoy Lee Alden 32 Motorsailer, "Endless Summer". Hey, I made it, so I kept going. We made the crossing from Puerto Vallarta to the Marquesas in a fairly respectable 26 days, without even using all of our diesel. I was a bit worried about boat speed, but we made a faster passage than many of the bigger, heavier boats.  Click Here for rest of story and pics

Mandarina.jpg (10360 bytes)Boat - "Mandarina" - 1972 Alden Offshore 44
Owner - Jerry Flint & Carolyn Edwards
AREA OF SAILING - Mediterranean
E-Mail Jerry & Carolyn  We are the third owners of Mandarina.  She was converted from centre wheel to off-set wheel steering to enhance the cockpit area.  We live aboard (with our two dogs) and are currently in the Agean, having spent last summer in the Ionian.  We are restoring Mandarina to her former glory, a slow and painful process, but the initial results are very pleasing.  The teak decking will be causing us problems in the future!  Jerry & Carolyn have submitted a great page on their restoration work, Click Here for page

  Boat- "Orient Star" - 1969   Offshore 50 Ketch
OWNER - Ernie  Copp
AREA OF SAILING -
Long Beach, CA
E-Mail Ernie  I have owned the boat since June, 1972. First serious user of boat. Aluminum spars by Famet. I added Alden designed tubular bowsprit, converting to double headsail ketch by installing staysail between original stemhead fitting and upper spreader. Installed roller furling on all four sails in late 70's. Cruised to Mexico and Hawaii several times, and to New Zealand once. While in NZ, replaced all teak inside and outside of cabin, using epoxy, installed Pilkington Glass windows, and rebuilt cockpit coaming and gasbox. Recently restored teak deck very successfully. Will share methods I used to restore decks on request.

5/05/05 - We received the following email from Al aboard Lady Ann,  Does anyone know of this Alden and who owns her?

James - I have been out of touch for a while - and tried to send a message to Ernie (fellow owner of an Offshore 50 - Orient Star) but the message bounced back.  The photos I tried to send to Ernie are attached. They were taken within the past three weeks. Jaguar may well have been the victim of one of the hurricanes last season. Note the damage on the port after quarter in photo #2.
              The photos were sent to me by a good friend, who was on his honeymoon, and saw Jaguar while on the ferry to the airport in St. Martin on the way home, and recognized her as a sister ship.   Regards, Al

Boat- "Bacchanal Too" - 1970s   Offshore 50 Ketch
OWNER - Anthony Gunn
AREA OF SAILING - Southern Caribbean

E-Mail Anthony  This Offshore 50 was a ketch and now sits as an empty shell.  I am completely rebuilding her (interior and new decks and cockpit) and will re-rig her with a tall-rig sloop and asymmetrical spinnaker/gennaker; aft cockpit.

A few years back, you had updated your ab fab web site with the news that I had bought a bare empty hull of an Offshore 50 in St Lucia and was about to restore her. We launched the basic rebuild in Nov 2003 and since then have done her up a lot, sailing from St Lucia to St Vincent & the Grenadines, to Barbados and  now up the chain to Dominica.
