SUE ELLEN II is a beautiful example of the Alerion Express 38, one of the most elegantly designed yachts from Carl Schumacher and Pearson Yachts of Rhode Island. With a tall, carbon-fiber mast, large high aspect fully battened main sail, and modern underbody, the AE 38 is renowned for her exceptional light air performance. Designed to be easily sailed by one, the AE 38 has a self-tending roller furled jib with a Hoyt Jib Boom and all sail control lines are led aft to port and starboard electric self-tailing winches within easy reach of the helmsman. A spacious cockpit with deep seats and cushioned backrests comfortably accommodates 6-8 guests.
Below decks SUE ELLEN II has a beautifully finished Herreshoff style interior varnished teak and holly sole, full galley, large enclosed head, port and starboard settees, and large V-berth forward. A high-gloss teak drop leaf table can also moved to the cockpit for dining "al fresco".
SUE ELLEN II has teak decks, teak cockpit sole, varnished teak toe and hand rails, varnished teak cockpit coaming cap, flag blue hull and white boot stripe. She has spent most of her life in fresh water, wintered in inside heated storage, and has been meticulously maintained. SUE ELLEN II is very good condition and ready to sail. Recent survey is available.

This is the long limbed big sister to the pace setting AE 28 and a strong family resemblance is evident in the balanced overhangs, delicate sheer and proportionate cabin. A combination of Carl Schumacher's underwater lines and a new deck, cockpit, cabin and topside by the Pearson design Group has produced a yacht that lives up to the Herreshoff legacy of classic beauty. The amazing strength of a modern carbon fiber mast by Hall Spars safely allows the elimination of the backstay, which in turn frees the mainsail for significantly larger size and better aerodynamic shape-proven by record setting windsurfers, multihulls and America's Cup contenders. Sail control by electric winches enables one person to hoist, reef, trim and lower sail, all from the wheel station. With the patented Hoyt Jib Boom adding offwind power, this is a 2 sail, self tacking rig that projects more sail area than any ordinary rig with a 150% genoa. The payoff is excellent light wind and offwind speed-all easily single-handed. Sail tests indicate speed superior to the competition and all for more reasonable price.
