Arcturus is a John Alden designed staysail schooner. Built in Maine USA. Previous owners have included General George Patton in the 1930s and possibly Gene Kelly. After cruising in the Pacific for many years she was sold to the Armitage family of Auckland in 1989 who restored her to her original design and plans below, adding two skins of kauri to her hull. Arcturus is now one of the best-restored Alden schooners anywhere in the world and is chartered
out of Westhaven.
