Alden 46 Motor Sailer

Classic Alden 46 Motor Sailer by John Duncanson.
Ketch Rig.
Lying : North Haven SA.

"Tirriki" is a yacht that evokes emotions in yachtsman and landlubbers alike!
There are many words that may be used to describe her - but an "Elegant Classic &Timeless Beauty" should suffice!

"Tirriki" has been most fortunate in having 3 loving and fastidious owners ( sorry custodians) in her 53 year history, the Charlesworth family to 2019.

The combination of 2 South Australian Icons, owner "Chappy" Charlesworth (Charlesworht Nuts fame) and builder John Duncanson ( Duncanson Yachts) and one of the USA's greatest and renowned naval architects - John Alden.

The last wooden boat constructed by Duncanson, it was 30 months from framing to launch, consuming 20,000 man hours!
Constructed of 38mm Jarrah planking to her waterline, Huon Pine waterline to gunwhale and Teal bulwarks.
Interior finish is of Honduras Magogany. Masts are of Canadian Spruce ( almost impossible to obtain in 2023), renowned for their strength and flexibilty.
The booms are of Oregan.
The above information would indicate that it would be almost to impossible to replicate to the same standard for less than $2million ! If materials could be obtained.

But, do not be fooled by her rare and classic status - "Tirriki" is a boat that is in step with contemporary market taste, offering relaxed easy cruising and roomy luxury for a family.
Other features to aid relaxed cruising or motor sailing are : Volvo Penta 150 HP diesel with shaft drive and 1000 l fuel tankage, pressure hot water shower, gas stove/oven for amateur on board chefs, sleeping for 8 adults, full eutectic refrigeration, air conditioning, shorepower, Fusion sound system.

For the sailer : New Brookes & Gatehouse suite inc sounder, GPS/chartplotter, integrated autopilot.
HF radio, VHF radio, battery charger, boom rolling on main and mizzen, furler on headsail, weather awnings, dinghy with outboard, electric windlass.

A yacht that would proudly shine in any marina in Australia, make it yours!!
