Overview
About this vessel
FIORE DI MANDORLA is sail number 212, an absolute gem Alerion Express 28 that is in exceptional condition. Her Flag Blue hull is perfect as is her varnish. She is a second owner boat that has been sailed in the clean fresh waters of Lake Tahoe for the past 14 years.
FIORE DI MANDORLA features a nice complement of North Sails including her Mainsail, Genoa, and two additional Headsails. Her original Hoyt self tailing jib boom is included and easily reinstalled.
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.
The Alerion Express 28 is a Carl Schumacher design, quality produced by Pearson Composites utilizing the SCRIMP system of resin infusion by vacuum. It is specifically designed to be easily single handed, with a fin keel and spade rudder providing exceptional maneuverability and stability, and a reliable Volvo Penta Diesel Engine with Sail Drive adding reliable power.
