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.
High-performance Hall Spars carbon fiber mast and boom, which are lightweight and durable. The mast is a two-spreader, keel-stepped design, which offers excellent stability and rigidity.
The standing rigging on the Alerion Express 38 is made of high-quality stainless steel wire, which provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance. The rigging consists of a forestay, backstay, upper shrouds, lower shrouds, and diagonal shrouds.
The new mainsail is a fully battened, full-roached Quantum mainsail that provides excellent power and control. The Quantum headsail furling jib that is easy to handle and adjust. The boat also comes with an asymmetrical spinnaker that is ideal for downwind sailing.
