A Historic Boston Sailboat

Our sailboat Francesca is part of Boston’s rich maritime history. Designed in Boston by John G. Alden & Co., Francesca is a 37-foot cutter ketch with two masts and four sails, featuring a traditional clipper bow. The original boat plans were recently donated to the MIT Museum in Cambridge, preserving the design as part of New England’s naval heritage. Originally built for ocean sailing, Francesca has been reconfigured to comfortably host passengers while maintaining her historic character.
