John Alden Pedigree
With John Alden pedigree and his signature classic lines, this recently completed steel Bluewater cruising yacht has all the extras required for extensive luxurious cruising.  Launched as an incomplete hull and deck in 1999, Nilubon was completed for her maiden cruise in Nov 05. 
 
Short-handed Cruising
