The Alerion 28 Express is a direct descendent of Nathanial Herreshoff’s 1912 26-foot Alerion III and is a combination of the original Herreshoff lines blended with a modern underbody. The Alerion 28 Express was designed primarily as a daysailer/racer with an easy-to-handle sail plan and a cockpit designed for more than two and a half people. Interior amenities are very basic.
