Alerion Express 33

News

The Alerion is a heraldic eagle and like that noble bird, the company has been sailing above all others since its founding by Nathaniel Herrshoff more than a century ago. Since that time, Alerion Yachts, now built by the esteemed USWatercraft, have evolved into the best boats on the water. While retaining a classic look topside, Alerion employs the latest technology to enhance maneuverability, speed, and balance. The result—fast, nimble crafts that attract respect at the docks and reverence under sail.

From mainsail to cockpit, the Alerion Express fleet displays the finest technology and design. The carbon fiber mast allows for a full roach mainsail which provides maximum speed and performance. The large, ergonomically designed cockpit provides comfort, style, and safety. And an optional electronic propulsion system frees you from engine maintenance and fuel cleanups. The e-prop system is silent, clean, and green and comes with a variety of charge regeneration technology and batteries.

he 2008, AE33 melds the classic Herrshoff topside with a meticulously modern underbody. This available model features a Yanmar 20hp diesel engine. The carbon fiber mast and self-tacking jib boom make the Alerion Express 33an graceful performer on all points of sail. Electric winches allow easy adjustment to all wind conditions.

The Alerion Express 33 is priced at $209,000 and berthed at Harbor Island Marina in San Diego. The cabin features a teak and Holly sole, laminated teak door frames, and solid teak doors with plywood panels. The yacht is powered by a 20HP Yanmar diesel with 176 hours.

Alerion yachts are in a category all their own. They are swifter and more elegant than daysailers, more comfortable than racers or cruisers. As the company notes, to qualify as an Alerion, “the yacht must begin with significant beauty and compliment that with single handed ease and scintillating speed under sail.”
