Today, Alden Yachts announced the signing of a new contract to build a 48' Flybridge Express. This will be the second Flybridge Express for her owner
built by Alden Yachts - the first was a 56 - and the first powerboat built
by Alden Yachts using epoxy resin and post thermal cured. Three years ago,
Alden Yachts had made the switch to epoxy construction with their sailboat
line, and with the building of the 48 Flybridge Express will have completed
the transition to epoxy construction for both power and sail.

The 48 footer, which will be hull number nine in the series, will be powered
with twin Detroit 6062-740 HP diesel engines. Her interior will feature a
two stateroom, two head arrangement finished in cherry, with all the
amenities and thoughtful touches that Alden Yachts has long been famous for.

Unique to this yacht will be two feet of additional length in the cockpit,
which will provide an expanded exterior space for entertaining as well as a
subtle but not insignificant contribution to the elegant lines of her
profile.

Completion of the 48 Flybridge Express is scheduled for summer 2004. For more information contact Alden Yachts at 401.683.4200 or email at pressrelease@aldenyachts.com
