2008 Alerion Express 28

THE ALERION EXPRESS 28

The Alerion Express 28 is an elegant solution for performance and traditional beauty. 

Basic systems, yet everything you need.

On deck sports a Harken furler, Hall Quik Vang, Lewmar self-tailing winches and a Jib Boom – a true sailing yacht. The cockpit sets the tone.  From Sailing Magazine, “The focus on this design was the cockpit and the laying out of the running rigging so that one person could easily sail the boat. There is nothing revolutionary here except the fact that most cruiser/racer types put more emphasis on interior comfort, and this resulted usually in tight, cramped cockpits. The Alerion would be tiller steered with the mainsheet led to a barney post in the center of the cockpit.”

Down below the Alerion offers the basic needs as well:

• Three plus bunk layout
• Marine head with holding tank and deck pump out
• Fresh water system with sink
• Butane stove
• Optional varnished teak interior
• Varnished teak and holly cabin sole

This Alerion Express 28 is very nice, and well equipped to go!
