"Sailboats are by nature graceful, and many claim to please your eye. But the Alerion Express 28 has consistently been recognized as one of the prettiest boats on the water. That she also has a thoroughly modern underwater shape simply adds to her lustre." ~ Alerion Yachts
Sylkie is a very nice example of the Alerion 28. This is a true New England day sailor with the ability to do some salt water camping. Sylkie is a (2) owner boat that has been well maintained, by both owners, and always lived and sailed in Maine.
