Description
Alerion Express 38 Yawl
Rarely does such a pretty rare bird come up for sale.
This particularly well kept Alerion has been in the same family for 12 years and it shows. Their attentive ownership has certainly preserved the fine attributes of this boat, from the clean interior, to the care of its sails.
Currently laid up for winter storage at our yard in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, the owners feel they finally have to move away from this lovely vessel and move onto something much smaller and less demanding.
The yawl comes totally equipped for any voyage its new owners may consider. She's fast, easily managed for her size and more than capable to successfully race in most venues one may consider. She has in fact achieved numerous prominent racing results within the last 10 years around New England waters.
However, she was designed primarily as a comfortable, easily managed but fast cruising boat and excels on all these points.
Her cockpit is large enough to accommodate a sizable crew, yet not feel too crowded. Having a self tacking headsail, minimizes sheets coming aft and the fully battened mainsail self stows in lazy jacks. Thus sail controls are pared down for both simplicity, ease on deck and lack of clutter.
Ample storage below means personal gear may be stowed away and not take up interior space, which in turn gives easy access to the large saloon, with its large bi fold table and seating area for comfortable eating and after sail drinks.
Summing up, one could call this Alerion Express 38 yawl, a thoroughly practical, modern cruising yacht, with clean uncluttered lines and yet with a turn of speed which will reward her owners every time she is sailed.
The boat's elderly owners are moving on to smaller boating projects and are keen for their Alerion to be sold. So if this boat is of interest, do not hesitate to schedule a viewing and place a reasonable offer which may be considered.
The Alerion is currently laid up in Portsmouth, Rhode Island and available to be seen by appointment.

Growing up in Malta, Alex was surrounded by the Mediterranean maritime industry. He built his first model boat at the age of 11 and hasn’t stopped playing with boats since. In no time, Alex learned to sail and had his offshore captain’s license by age 17 and his Ocean Master ticket by his mid 20's. Besides learning and developing skills as a seaman, he was also playing with engines and machinery of all types, including building and racing rally cars and old motorcycles.
Â
With a college background in physics, applied and pure mathematics, he studied naval architecture, which culminated in being employed at Sergio Lupoli Yacht Design in Naples for 5 years, this included design and building schedules of small custom IRC racing sailboats. While this led to work on a wide variety of projects and boats, restlessness eventually led back to sea, initially as mate on an ocean-going tug, master on a research dive vessel, running a Swan for the Japanese delegation at a G7 summit, several transatlantic passages, as well as racing yachts in the Middle Sea Race and elsewhere in the Mediterranean.
Â
More recently he was captain/engineer onboard a 30m classic motor yacht for 13 years, with an approximate 5000Nm yearly cruising schedule. Besides being responsible for the guests & crew, Alex scheduled and oversaw the extensive refit and maintenance programs required for an old classic yacht, with all the numerous little bits that go with keeping such a vessel afloat and running.
Â
In addition to his native languages of Maltese, English, and Italian, Alex is conversant in Spanish, French, and Arabic. He and his wife sailed from Malta to the US in their 33-foot gaff cutter. They now reside in Portsmouth, and in their free time explore the US countryside on their dual sport motorcycles. He is a life member of the Royal Malta Yacht Club and past president of the Rhode Island Soaring Club, where he is a prominent participant in national model sailplane contests.
Â
Alex is now on the team at Brewer Yacht Sales, and keen to utilize his decades of experience on behalf of clients, wishing to experience the fun and pleasure of yacht ownership.
