Died. John Gale Alden, 78, ruddy Yankee yachtsman and sailboat designer who put ocean racing within reach of the only moderately rich with his Malabar class of small rugged schooners derived from Gloucester fishing smacks, proved the soundness of his designs by becoming the first man to win three Bermuda regattas, and set more of his hulls afloat than any other U.S. marine architect; of a stroke; near Orlando, Fla.
