Overview
About this vessel
FIORE DI MANDORLA is sail number 212, a second owner boat that has been sailed in the clean fresh waters of Lake Tahoe for the past 14 years. She is a nice example of the always popular Alerion 28 Express.
The yacht just received fresh bottom paint and a SailDrive service at the KKMI Boatyard in June 2026.
The Alerion Express 28 is consistently recognized as one of the prettiest boats on the water. That she also has a thoroughly modern underwater shape simply adds to her luster.
A maximized cockpit and cabin makes the Alerion Express 28 the perfect yacht for you and your partner — for weekend adventures or just a spur of the moment evening or after-work sail.
By preserving the traditional look topside and giving the hull a modern design below the waterline, the Alerion Express 28 offers the best of both worlds: great style and great performance. Not to mention the pride and admiration they bring.
A very manageable sailplan with a self-tacking Hoyt jib boom is easily singlehanded. And even the most die-hard racers speak of how beautifully balanced and delightful the Alerion Express 28 is to sail.
FIORE DI MANDORLA features a full complement of North Sails including her Mainsail, Genoa, and two additional Headsails. She features a convenient Hoyt self-tending jib boom.
The new trend to elegant day sailers was pioneered by the notable beauty of this Carl Schumacher design, which sailors instinctively pause to admire. Quality produced by Pearson Composites, utilizing the SCRIMP system of resin infusion by vacuum, the AE 28 also delivers outstanding performance under sail, and is specifically designed to be easily single handed. With a fin keel and spade rudder providing exceptional maneuverability and stability, the Hoyt Jib Boom bringing off wind speed, and a reliable Volvo Penta Diesel Engine with a Sail Drive adding reliable power, this beautifully balanced boat sets the standard for the ideal day sailer.
