The Malabar sr alden is a 33.25ft masthead sloop designed by John G. Alden and built in wood by LeComte Yachts between 1956 and 1963.
24 units have been built.
The Malabar sr alden is a very heavy sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
