2013 Alerion Express 33

La Medusa is a beautiful example of the highly desirable Alerion Express 33. She includes a non stock upgrade of stanchions, pulpit and lifelines. A gorgeous flag blue awlgripped hull with a gel coat single boot stripe marks her classic lines beautifully. The joinery and bright work on this boat is something else. Spectacular!

The Alerion Express 33 features a combination of modern underwater lines and a deck, cockpit, cabin and topside by the Pearson design Group, producing 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. 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 off wind power, this is a 2 sail, self tacking rig that projects more sail area than any ordinary rig. The payoff is excellent light wind and offwind speed-all easily single-handed.

The perfect blend of elegance and performance, the long cockpit seats make it easy to host friends and family. More than just a day sailer, the well designed interior has a classic look. A forward V-berth, enclosed head and galley give this Alerion enough accommodations for overnight or weekend cruising.
