About Alerion Express Boats
The Alerion Express experience is all about pure sailing pleasure - what we refer to as Alerion Sailing - the thrill of a fast, responsive yacht that looks terrific, handles like a dream and doesn't require a large or experienced crew. Alerion Sailing means sailing on your terms and at times that best suit your mood, your schedule, and the weather. It is our distinct honor to introduce you to the way sailing should be.
Alerion History
The name "Alerion" (which literally means Heraldic Eagle) first gained nautical prominence back in 1912, when Nathaniel Herreshoff designed a 26' sloop for his personal use - and called it "Alerion". The timeless appeal of this design has spawned a host of imitations but the Alerion Express 28 is cast in a different mold. Rather than attempting a warmed-over re-creation of an old classic, this yacht retains the traditional look topside, but is completely modern in rig, underbody and construction detail.
The result is a nimble craft that evokes the past in appearance, but embraces the present in performance. The admiration this Alerion draws at the dock is doubled by the respect she creates under sail. This is a very fast and maneuverable sailboat, which can turn in its own length and is so well balanced it needs only the lightest touch on the tiller.
These classic lines and proportions coupled with modern underbodies have been incorporated into all the yachts in the Alerion Express fleet.
Design & technology features
Go Sailing More Often and Enjoy It More When You Do
The Alerion Express fleet has been specifically designed for a single purpose - to be the best daysailers available anywhere. From the keel to the masthead, design and technology decisions have been made solely to embody the principles of Alerion Sailing.
The following table summarizes the differences between the yachts. The original members of the family, the AE 28 and AE 20, have a more classic sailplan and while their smaller size prohibits some of the modern refinements available in the AE 38, they are still Alerion Sailers and outstanding performers.
The AE 38 and AE 33 feature a carbon fiber mast with an elliptical mainsail for scintillating light air and downwind performance. Because of their larger size, the AE 38 and AE 33 incorporate electric winches and a separate helm station in the cockpit.
