New Alerion Express

A 41′ Coastal Cruiser from Alerion Express

The design team at Pearson Marine Group has brought the elegance, ease of sailing and performance of the 20-38′ Alerion Express range to a new, forty-one foot two cabin coastal cruiser.

The Alerion 41 will be immediately recognized as an Alerion, with a large, uncluttered cockpit for easy singlehanding, elegant bow and stern profiles and elliptical opening portlights.

The interior will provide the same yacht-quality finish, but with ample accomodations for the cruising family, including aft cabin and forward master stateroom, a generous galley and nav station, and proper storage thoughout.

For those that appreciate classic aesthetics, uncompromising performance and cruising luxury, the Alerion 41 will truly stand out.

Introducing the Alerion Sport 33

The Alerion Sport 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.  The Sport 33  adds another flavor of exhilaration while maintaining the other capabilities that Alerion Express is known for.  The self tacking jib allows for easy tacking; while the optional asymmetrical spinnaker provides easy yet powerful off wind performance.  Other head sails are available as options; a 105% blade jib and a 150% genoa are among these offerings.    The ability to convert the boat easily from daysailer to club racer is what makes this boat so unique.   The innovative running rigging on the boat allows for easy switching between headsails.   Ten feet of unobstructed cockpit includes seats long enough for an afternoon nap or for a bunch of friends. Furthermore, the cockpit has removable sections to convert the cockpit space from daysailing  to racing mode.  Seating space is altered so that the helmsman can have more space to move around the cockpit and sit comfortably on the cockpit coaming.  But creature comforts are certainly not forgotten below where woodwork, detail and finish are proof that this is an Alerion Express at its core.  Sleeping accommodations for four, ample storage and an enclosed head make for perfect daysailing and weekend trips.

McMichael Yacht Brokers sold hull #1 of the Sport 33, and we were highly involved in the development of this exciting addition to the Alerion family.  Call us today for more information and a closer look.

About Alerion Express

McMichael Yacht Brokers began selling the Alerion Express 28 in 1993, based on our long relationship with builder Pearson Composites (then TPI). Since then we have sold dozens of this definitive 28-foot design, and we are now proud to be the top Alerion Express dealer worldwide. Quite simply, we have more experience selling and servicing Alerion’s than anyone in the country.

The Alerion is a highly customized yacht, and the experience of buying one is far more involved than filling out a simple order form. Our brokers work with you to define exactly how you want to sail, and our years of experience with other discriminating clients help us create the perfect Alerion for YOU. McMichael has created several custom options on Alerion Express models that later became factory options, and we worked closely with the team at Alerion throughout the development of the Alerion Sport 33 after taking the order for hull #1. We have sold several of the most customized Alerion Express 38′s ever made.

The introduction of the Alerion Express 33 and the reconfigured Alerion Express 38 in 2006 marked the resurgence of daysailing in the boating community. The idea that you could have a boat that is both elegant and easily sailed, whether singlehanding or with non-sailing friends, has brought countless people back to the sport. Alerion Express achieves this with spacious cockpits, Herreshoff-inspired lines, and innovative use of modern technology. With all lines running below deck to electric winches at the wheel, you can sail an Alerion the way you want to, no matter who is onboard.

The Alerion Express experience is all about pure sailing pleasure – 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, with no compromises.
