The Alden Yachts 40 Express is an exhilarating performer. With her hull built entirely of Epoxy resin with vacuum bagged core and E-glass/ Kevlar skins, she is stronger and considerably lighter than other boats her size. Lifting strakes bring her effortlessly up on plane at very low speeds. Her optimized deep-V hull gives her remarkable directional stability in rough seas, a light, responsive helm, and excellent fuel economy. Her prop tunnels enhance her shoal draft capability and provide a flatter prop shaft angle of attack.
