2006 Alerion AE 38

The Alerion Express 38, no question is the prettiest girl at the dance, with her self tacking boom and electric winch set up she is the ultimate daysailer. She offers considerable interior space and a large cockpit to take all your friends along.

One part eagle, three parts sailor’s best friend, the Alerion Express 38 is the offspring of a collaboration between the late designer Carl Schumacher and the ever-adventurous designer/marketeer Garry Hoyt.

The AE 38 combines the traditional good looks of her smaller sister, the Alerion Express 28, with a 21st-century rig and electric sail-handling gear. Although the AE 38 is reminiscent of Nathanael Herreshoff’s original 26-foot Alerion and its progeny, she has a shallow underbody, fin keel of relatively high aspect ratio, and elliptical spade rudder. She’s fast, agile and easy to sail, alone or with a crew of skipper and mate.

Her traditional topsides are coupled with not only a modern underbody but also an advanced rig. A large roach, fully battened mainsail with Carbon Fiber mast which is efficient and effective. Single line reefing lets you reef with ease when the wind pipes up. The self-tacking jib boom allows for efficient use of the jib at all points of sail, you simply turn the boat when you need to tack, as easy as can be.

Tiburon is a true stunner with many upgrades. Her AwlGrip super black topsides with 22 carat gold striping are majestic and she includes a 2019 Interlux bottom job and full engine servicing in 2019 and 2020. A full suite of Raymarine instrumentation, plus TV and stereo round out her electronics, along with extensive canvas and rigging customizations. She is pristine and fully turnkey!
