This 2007 Express 28 is hull #366 of the series of 470 built.
This elegant day sailer/weekender never fails to turn heads wherever she is seen on the water. Quality produced by TPI Composites (Tillotson-Pierson) in Warren, RI utilizing the SCRIMP system of resin infusion by vacuum. The Alerion Express 28 delivers outstanding performance under sail, and is specifically designed to be easily single handed with the self-tacking Hoyt Jib Boom. A modern underbody with a fin keel and spade rudder provide exceptional maneuverability and stability, the Hoyt Jib Boom bringing off wind speed, and a 14-hp Yanmar Diesel Sail Drive adding reliable power, this beautifully balanced boat sets the standard for the ideal day sailer.
