28' Alerion Express Cruisers

Comments

CLOUD NINE has seen very light use the past few years.  A major success story since her introduction in 1991. From the Alerion Express website:

“The name "Alerion" (which literally means Heraldic Eagle) first gained nautical prominence back in 1912, when Nathaniel Herreshoff designed a 26' sloop for his personal use - and called it "Alerion". The timeless appeal of this design has spawned a host of imitations but the Alerion Express 28 is cast in a different mold. Rather than attempting a warmed-over re-creation of an old classic, this yacht retains the traditional look topside, but is completely modern in rig, underbody and construction detail. 

The result is a nimble craft that evokes the past in appearance, but embraces the present in performance. The admiration this Alerion draws at the dock is doubled by the respect she creates under sail. This is a very fast and maneuverable sailboat, which can turn in its own length and is so well balanced it needs only the lightest touch on the tiller.”

Designed primarily as a day sailor with a large and comfortable cockpit, CLOUD NINE offers accommodations for three with V berth forward below, opening hatch above, and a full length settee to port and single seat opposite, covered by blue cushions with red piping.  Teak and holly cabin sole.  An insulated cooler, sink and head provide the rest of the amenities for those who wish to spend the night onboard.

Molded fiberglass hull, Recent Awlgrip blue 2007, and non skid deck. White bootstripe and gold cove.  Varnished teak toe rails, cockpit comings, and cabin top grab rails.
