Description
Alerion Express 28 – Classic Grace, Modern Performance
The elegant Alerion Express 28, inspired by Nathanael Herreshoff’s iconic 1912 Alerion III, perfectly blends timeless design with modern performance. Conceived as the ideal day sailor or weekender, she lives up to her original promise of “Classic Grace, Modern Pace, and Singlehanded Ease.” With her striking Awlgrip blue hull, this vessel commands attention in every harbor and never fails to turn heads.
Built by the renowned TPI Composites (Tillotson-Pearson) in Warren, Rhode Island, using advanced SCRIMP resin infusion technology, the Alerion 28 delivers exceptional strength, efficiency, and sailing performance. Her modern underbody, featuring a fin keel and spade rudder, ensures outstanding stability and maneuverability, while the self-tacking Hoyt jib boom allows for effortless singlehanded sailing and impressive off-wind speed. A Volvo-Penta inboard diesel with saildrive provides reliable auxiliary power, making her as practical as she is beautiful.
This particular example has been professionally maintained by two knowledgeable owners, with meticulous care including annual fall winterization, spring commissioning, and heated indoor winter storage. Recent upgrades include new standing rigging (2024), along with cleaned and serviced sails, ensuring she is fully prepared for the upcoming season.
She is ready to launch within weeks and represents a rare opportunity to own a truly refined and well-cared-for Alerion. Located in Sales Tax–Free North Kingstown, Rhode Island, she is available for viewing by appointment.

I joined the Brewer Yacht Sales team in 1997 at the Brewer Sakonnet location and relocated in 1999 upon the opening of our Wickford Cove office. During my time with Brewers, I have won numerous awards including "Broker of the Year," "Customer Satisfaction," and most recently I received the "Team Work" award. I am a proud member of the Yacht Brokers Association of America and a Certified Professional Yacht Broker. I place a high value on meticulous service and comprehensive knowledge of our products. I started my career in sales as a manufacturer's representative at 18 years old and continued to represent electronics distributors until I opened my own business buying and selling companies and their production equipment both domestically and abroad.
Introduced to boating as an infant, I can't recall a summer when we weren't water skiing, fishing, or sailing. My father was a Sales Manager for Mercury and we grew up in Rhode Island where I had opportunities to crew on sport-fishing boats and campaign-racing sailboats on a regular schedule. My lifetime on the water offers me the valuable experience necessary to facilitate new and practiced boaters alike with the purchase or sale of their next boat!
