"A BEAUTIFUL BOAT. I THINK THAT THIS IS A PROJECT THAT HAS TO BE DONE"

Ed Kastelein, Owner & builder of Eleonora and the Atlantic.

--------------------------------------

“Well, 347 now has a special place in my heart too! I think she is very, very, very pretty, with a gorgeous sheer line and a perfectly proportioned deck house aft.”

John Lammerts van Bueren, Touchwood BV

--------------------------------------

“I have been admiring the model and she's simply magic from all corners, the stern gives her that very special touch and the bow is perfect, she will have such a unique character.”

David Vieira, Absolute Restoration

--------------------------------------

“That's what you call a serious beauty and with great character and certainly Mr. Alden has his own stamp. No one should think she is a Fife or a Herreschoff.”

Philip Walwyn, Owner & builder of the 1907 A. Mylne 12-meter replica KATE

--------------------------------------

“Have just seen 347 model and that is one exquisite shape...she sings and I think is very sexy, what curves and elegance. Bravo for finding her.”

Kate Spencer, Artist

--------------------------------------

"Much of my motivation in restoring classics has stemmed from a desire to see what they were 'really like' and this extends to replica building. Thistle, Rainbow and Sonia II are all in the category of boats I want see. Now I am compelled to add Alden's 0347."

Dr. William J. Collier

Managing Director, G.L. Watson & Co. Ltd.

-------------------------------------

“The Alden is going to be a fine looking hull.”

David Spy, Model Builder

--------------------------------------

“What a beautiful design. And indeed also the story on this design is great. We would be much honored to cooperate on making this design come true.”

Paul Wester, Wester Naval Architecture

--------------------------------------

“The Alden design is certainly in the fishing schooner vein with strong sheer line and easy underwater shape. As with all the fishing schooner type boats, she will be an able performer offshore.”

Bill Langan, Langan Design Associates

--------------------------------------

“Her lines looks great.”

Niels Helleberg, Alden Naval Architects

--------------------------------------

“Design 347 is certainly beautiful. I can see the fishing schooner resemblance in the bow profile. Everything about her, sheer and transom, are striking”

Mike Toppa, North Sails, Florida

--------------------------------------

“Congratulation, the Alden schooner is beautiful!! I love the Alden designs very much and think his boats are the most wonderful American yachts.”

Klaus Kramer,

Publisher of “Vom Gondelcorso zum Ocean-Race”

In response to an e-mail sharing the news that I had finally found the perfect classic schooner yacht design to build for my intended world cruising use. Olin Stevens had prior to this agreed to advice on suitable classic schooner yacht designs to consider.

“Dear Capt Swahn,

       Thanks, glad to get your good news.

                   Regards,   Olin   S.”

“I do hope that your new project gives you all the fun and pleasure possible. You have taken so much trouble to make sure it is right, and from the drawings you sent, the proposed yacht looks gorgeous.”

Ian Nicolson A. Mylne & Co.

C.Eng. F.R.I.N.A. Hon.M.I.I.M.S.

--------------------------------------

“It is a stunning vessel, a bookmark in the history of yachting.”

Nigel Bower

Owner and builder of HERON the10’th Alden schooner in the 390-series built to original specs (not a replica and “the best one yet”).

--------------------------------------

“You have picked one of the most beautiful schooner designs I think ever drawn… I think to be offshore; at the helm of your design 0347 under full sail, close reaching across the sea, would be my version of Valhalla.”

John Welteroth

Owner,  Alden Schooner "Lelanta”

-------------------------------------

“Superb design indeed!! I wish you all the best for this phenomenal project.”

Olivier Pecoux

Owner, Alden Schooner “Le Petite Lande”

-------------------------------------

”I look forward to watching this fabulous schooner take shape!”

Cheers, Louie Howland III

-------------------------------------

“It would be a dream for me to be involved in however a small degree with a new addition to this beautiful sailing family.”

Shane Couch, Marine Artist

-------------------------------------

“This project will be more than a dream come true, but a climax of epic proportion. That's saying a lot, considering a sailor's tendency to understate the obvious. (hee heee). Santana will be happy to escort her into San Francisco Bay when she makes her grand debut.“

Paul Kaplan

Owner and Skipper of the S&S schooner SANTANA

-------------------------------------

“She is a thing of extreme beauty. I can already see her sleek, harmonious lines, and feel her power. She is indeed "WOLFHOUND". I can't wait until she comes home! Thank you for letting us feel a part of her“

Mandy Tyler,

Breeder of the Kerryarc Irish Wolfhounds

-------------------------------------

“ I am sure she is going to turn out very well and of talked about yachts on the world scene in a very short time.”

Niels Helleberg, 1940-2014

“I imagine ambling down the deck of Wolfhound trimming each sail finding her sweet spot, full and by, and as Commodore (Warwick Tompkins) would say; “as she rumbles down the rhumb line to who cares where!”

Robert Flowerman

Owner of the sloop SIRENA

------------------------------------------------

“ We wish to thank you for having the fortitude to enable all those artisans, who are involved in Wolfhound's construction, to practice their craftsmanship and hard earned skills, thereby allowing us to see how we humans can still create a beautiful machine which will so gracefully harmonize perfectly with nature and the spirit of the sea.

We very much look forward to hearing  news of her launch and for her to take her, rightful and much deserved place, along with ‘Eleonora' and ‘Atlantic', at the pinnacle of the world of sailing works of art.”

Louise and Steven Dews.
