Alerion Express 28 – Classic Grace, Modern Performance

The elegant Alerion Express 28, inspired by Nathanael Herreshoff’s iconic 1912 Alerion III, perfectly blends timeless design with modern performance. Conceived as the ideal day sailor or weekender, she lives up to her original promise of “Classic Grace, Modern Pace, and Singlehanded Ease.” With her striking Awlgrip blue hull, this vessel commands attention in every harbor and never fails to turn heads.

Built by the renowned TPI Composites (Tillotson-Pearson) in Warren, Rhode Island, using advanced SCRIMP resin infusion technology, the Alerion 28 delivers exceptional strength, efficiency, and sailing performance. Her modern underbody, featuring a fin keel and spade rudder, ensures outstanding stability and maneuverability, while the self-tacking Hoyt jib boom allows for effortless singlehanded sailing and impressive off-wind speed. A Volvo-Penta inboard diesel with saildrive provides reliable auxiliary power, making her as practical as she is beautiful.

This particular example has been professionally maintained by two knowledgeable owners, with meticulous care including annual fall winterization, spring commissioning, and heated indoor winter storage. Recent upgrades include new standing rigging (2024), along with cleaned and serviced sails, ensuring she is fully prepared for the upcoming season.

She is ready to launch within weeks and represents a rare opportunity to own a truly refined and well-cared-for Alerion. Located in Sales Tax–Free North Kingstown, Rhode Island, she is available for viewing by appointment.
