1977 Alajuela 38

Kristina II is a well-maintained example of a factory finished Alajuela 38--she is not a half finished or poorly finished kit boat. For praise and drawings of this classic yacht, look in Ferenc Mate's Best Boats to Build or Buy. Describing the Alajuela's construction, Mate says, "The pursuit of quality was almost pathological and the results were impeccable" (239). From the joinery work to the custom bronze fittings, Mate couldn't be more right when he calls the Alajuela "a first class boat for serious cruisers" (239). Don't miss this chance to own one of these rare beauties!
