Wooden Ships Comments on this John G. Alden Malabar Sloop 33′ John Alden Malabar Sloop built by the Wing on Shing shipyard in 1959. The previous owner bought the boat and put her into the care of a well known Cornish boatyard specialising in wooden boat repairs, who carried out a very thorough and no expense spared refit which was completed in 2001. After that time the boat was used lightly each summer and has been wintered inside every year. The current owner has kept her up to a very good standard, again wintering her undercover every year, and has raced in various classic regattas on the south coast. The refit involved stripping the boat back to a bare shell inside, changing or checking all fastenings and bolts, fitting a new interior with all new systems, complete new rig and all necessary gear. The deck was virtually new at the time of the refit so was not touched. The Malabar is a very attractive design, typically American with the generous beam giving a lot of internal volume for her length. The performance of these yachts is surprisingly good and she has collected a lot of silverware in recent years. An excellent example of the class that has been well maintained and upgraded and has a full inventory of equipment Length on Deck 33’3”Length Waterline 24’2”Beam 9’9”Draft 5’4”Thames Tonnage 11TM Construction Carvel planked in teak all copper rivet fastened to steam bent Canadian Rock Elm timbers.
