Description & Performance
The Alerion Express 28 is widely regarded as one of the prettiest daysailers on the water. Combining classic, graceful topside lines with a modern performance hull below the waterline, it delivers speed, balance, and unmatched pride of ownership.
Designed for ultimate ease of use, Mavis features a manageable sailplan equipped with a Hoyt Jib Boom and self-tacking jib for effortless single-handed sailing. The oversized, self-draining cockpit comfortably accommodates 4 to 6 guests for afternoon cruises or evening sails. Down below, the cabin provides overnight accommodations for a couple, making it as functional as it is stunning.
This late-model 2016 edition has been impeccably maintained and comes fully equipped for immediate cruising.
