This is the long limbed big sister to the pace setting AE 28 and a strong family resemblance is evident in the balanced overhangs, delicate sheer and proportionate cabin. A combination of Carl Schumacher's underwater lines and a new deck, cockpit, cabin and topside by the Pearson design Group has produced a yacht that lives up to the Herreshoff legacy of classic beauty. The amazing strength of a modern carbon fiber mast by Hall Spars safely allows the elimination of the backstay, which in turn frees the mainsail for significantly larger size and better aerodynamic shape-proven by record setting windsurfers, multihulls and America's Cup contenders. Sail control by electric winches enables one person to hoist, reef, trim and lower sail, all from the wheel station. With the patented Hoyt Jib Boom adding offwind power, this is a 2 sail, self tacking rig that projects more sail area than any ordinary rig with a 150% genoa. The payoff is excellent light wind and offwind speed-all easily single-handed. Sail tests indicate speed superior to the competition and all for more reasonable price.

This yacht is built to the highest standards with hand-laid fiberglass construction and a sturdy carbon-fiber mast. The hull is finished in gleaming Awlgrip paint that not only looks great but also provides long-lasting protection against the elements. The spacious cockpit is ergonomically designed for comfort and ease of handling, with all sail controls conveniently within reach.

Below deck, the Alerion Express 38 offers comfortable accommodations for up to four guests. The interior is finished in warm, rich cherry wood and features a well-appointed salon with a centerline table. The galley is well-appointed with a two-burner stove, a refrigerator, and a sink. The forward cabin has a large double berth.

The Alerion Express 38 is a joy to sail, with a powerful rig and a responsive helm that makes it easy to handle even in challenging conditions. Whether you're racing or cruising, this yacht delivers a thrilling experience that you'll never forget. Don't miss the opportunity to own this beautiful and capable sailboat.

She sports a new set of Quantum sails (main & jib), electric Harken winches, self-tacking headsail, carbon spar, Ritchie compass, Garmin GPS Map 4212 Chartplotter, Raymarine wind speed and direction, Raymarine ST290 depth-speed-heading display (all mounted on the helm pedestal) and a brand new reverse cycle AC/Heat unit!

The beautiful interior benefits from a new teak & holy cabin sole, a table, port & starboard settees, a galley with a Force 10 2 burner stove w/oven, a V-berth, and a head.

The vessel is powered by a Yanmar 3JH4CE with 40 hp. diesel with a Yanmar sail drive and a 2-blade folding/feathering bronze propeller. The boat is nimble under power as it can cruise at 8 knots and turn within its own length.
