Whirlaway is a truly exceptional thoroughbred, a testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship and expertise of the team at C. Raymond Hunt Associates and Alden Yachts. Guided by the vision of three previous owners, this vessel has left a lasting impression in every harbor it has graced. However, it was the fourth owner who elevated this classic into a 21st-century motor yacht. C. Raymond Hunt Associates was commissioned in 2020 to redesign the vessel into a true masterpiece of modern engineering.
