Description

Along with this 2013, the Alerion Express 28 has consistently been recognized as one of the prettiest boats on the water or "the prettiest girl at the dance". A maximized cockpit and cabin makes the Alerion 28 the perfect cruising yacht for you and your spouse – for weekend adventures or just a spur of the moment evening or after-work sail. By preserving the traditional look topside – where it shows, and giving the hull a modern design below the waterline, the Alerion Express 28 offers the best of both worlds: great style and great performance along with the pride and admiration they bring. A very manageable sail-plan with a self-tacking jib boom is easily single-handed or managed with a minimal crew. And even the most die-hard racers speak of how beautifully balanced and delightful it is to sail the Alerion Express 28.Two owner, fresh water only, winter stored indoors heated, and kept in a slip during the short Northern Michigan summers. Low hours on her Yanmar 2YM15 engine with Sail-Drive.
