Overview
We commissioned and delivered this Alerion Express 28 built by US Watercraft in the spring of 2017. Still looks very much like the new boat, but now for a lot less money. Stored inside heated storage each winter and again inside our showroom for this winter, efforts have been made to preserve this beauty and her varnished teak.
Includes Raymarine Knot, Depth, Wind, and Autohelm, Custom Cockpit Cushions, Varnish inside and out, North Sails with Hoyt boom for shorthanded sailing.
