Sailing. Pure and Simple. Alerion Express 33 www. al eri o n y ach t s . co m In 1912, Nathaniel Herreshoff, the greatest yacht designer of the time, built a 26 foot sloop for his personal use and called her “Alerion.” The exceptional beauty of this boat was widely acclaimed. We drew inspiration from that Alerion to create the Alerion Express, the Alerion Sport, and the Alerion cruising lines of boats ranging in size from 20 to 41 feet. All of the Alerion models marry a tradition of beauty with modern design technology and advanced composite construction. Alerion Sailing “Day sailing” is a phrase commonly used to describe sailing in small boats that are neither cruisers nor racers. We find the phrase limiting. “Alerion Sailing” is a much richer experience, one implying the delight of sailing a boat fast enough to race, simple enough to welcome aboard companions with any level of skill or to singlehand, able to get underway in minutes and to enjoy the lightest zephyrs or a heavy breeze. Alerion Sailing calls you to the way sailing should be.

Her traditional topsides are coupled with not only a modern underbody but also an advanced rig. A fully roached mainsail on a carbon fiber mast is efficient and effective; single-line reefing lets you adjust on the fly when the wind pipes up. And the self-tacking jib boom allows efficient use of the jib on all points of sail. Her gracefully contoured cockpit comfortably seats as many as eight or lets you stretch out with a book or to snooze. You’ll reign supreme in the separate rear cockpit where electric winches and complete control are right at hand. Standard interior Down below, the full head and galley provides everything you need for a weekend cruise. The balanced use of teak, holly and traditional paneling brings the same relaxed feel of the cockpit into the cabin. The AE 38 uniquely fuses beauty, speed and that special desire to sail on your own terms.

You immediately recognize the same beauty, performance features and refinements. Beneath the traditional sheer and topsides is a thoroughly modern underbody. The fully roached main, carbon fiber mast and self-tacking jib boom make the Alerion Express 33 an elegant performer on all points of sail while the electric winches allow easy adjustment to all wind conditions. The Alerion Express 33 is the perfect yacht for those who do not want to wait for crew (or a narrow range of conditions) to savor a weekend, a day or even an hour out sailing. As with her larger and smaller sisters, the easy set-up and put-away of this yacht allows you to spend more time sailing and reminds you of the way sailing should be. We haven’t forgotten that the best times are usually underway. So, the cockpit includes seats long enough for a nap or for a bunch of friends. But creature comforts are certainly not forgotten below where woodwork, detail and finish are proof that this is a proper yacht. AS 33 Alerion Sport 33 AS 3 3 S P ECI FIC AT ION S LOA33’0” LWL26’4” BEAM9’3” DRAFT5’0” Alerion Sport 33 When we launched our design process for this first model of the Alerion Sport series, we discovered that we couldn’t imagine a better hull than our much admired and proven Alerion Express 33. Reducing its displacement boosted the Sport 33’s SA/Displacement ratio, and significantly enhanced its racing potential. AIR DRAFT46’0” DISPLACEMENT 8,000 lbs BALLAST 3,300 lbs SAIL AREA 547 sq. ft SAIL AREA/DISP SAIL-DRIVE DIESEL w ww.ale r i o n y a c h t s. c o m 21.9 20 HP The cockpit can be as serious or relaxing as you wish. Both the headsail and mainsail have additional multi-part fine-tune lines to avoid dropping the tiller when out alone or in close action on the racecourse. Those long cockpit seats let a full complement of friends or crew sit to windward or two of you to stretch out for a nap. Control lines run through deck-clearing tunnels to clutches and cleats, then into cleverly designed elbow-resting boxes on either side of the companionway. But, never forget that the intention was to put phenomenal performance and sailing joy into a deceptively pretty yacht. The mast is carbon with Nitronic rod rigging, the hardware package geared to sailing fast in company, whether that’s in one-design action or against all comers. The infusion molded SCRIMP construction delivers strength and quality without excess weight. These boats are built to last for generations, not be disposed of when some rule changes or fad arrives. After all, Alerions have been described as timeless in style; why should they not be built that way?

But the Alerion Express 28 has consistently been recognized as one of the prettiest boats on the water. That she also has a thoroughly modern underwater shape simply adds to her lustre. 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 maximized cockpit and cabin makes the Alerion Express 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. A very manageable sailplan with a self-tacking jib boom is easily single-handed. And even the most die-hard racers speak of how beautifully balanced and delightful it is to sail the Alerion Express 28. AE 20 AE 2 0 Optional electric motor removes easily while sailing.

We reject that notion and the proof is the Alerion Express 20. As with her larger sisters, here are an elegant and classic topside, a modern underbody, gratifying speed and singlehanded ease – as nice for seasoned sailors as for those just getting started. To avoid the cost and aggravation of small, fast boats becoming progressively complex club racers, Alerion Express 20 racing is limited to two sails: the main and the self-tacking boomed jib. No spinnakers, asymmetricals or funny business – just pure, unadulterated, fine sailing. Alerion Express 20 is a “sit in” boat: you don’t need to hang yourself or your crew over the rail. Yet, sailing performance is spirited and steering is fingertip-sensitive. She’s a keelboat for stability and can be left on a mooring without fear of blow-over. Yet, she still is trailerable. Alerion Express 20 is a one-design class. But she is also such a fine small sailing yacht that many choose her just for private sailing enjoyment.
