Alerion Express 38A gentleman’s cruiser that’s easy to single-hand, great to look at, well-built, but a bit small for long-term voyaging.The genesis of the Alerion Express 38 takes us back to 1912, when Nathanael Herreshoff, the Wizard of Bristol, built for himself a 26' mahogany-planked daysailer, called the Alerion. In the 1970s, his grandson, Halsey Herreshoff, built a 25' version that eventually was bought by Alfred Sanford, father of Nantucket boatbuilders Alfie and Edward Sanford. The Sanford Boat Co. produced a 26-footer, mostly faithful to the original design, in cold-molded wood. Among their customers were Bill Koch, winner of the 1992 Americas Cup, and singer Jimmy Buffet.Subscriber Login Purchase selection, or begin your FREE 14-day trial subscription to practical-sailor.com.
