ALERION has captured hearts ever since Nathanael Herreshoff designed and built the original in 1912. Herreshoff knew what he was doing - masterfully blending exquisite lines and materials to arrive at a very special boat. Look at the original lines as drawn by Herreshoff. The boat is a centerboard sloop with a large main and boom overhanging the transom. The mast goes through the deck forward of the housetop.

Alerion is a versatile sailing yacht; her stability and predictability make her ideal for family outings, racing, and single handled sailing. A simple boat. In a light breeze, Alerion ghosts along effortlessly. Her sleek lines make for powerful yet surefooted and comfortable performance in strong wind. Drawing only 2' 5" with the center board up, Alerion can sneak into coves and shallows easily and confidently.

Down below, her cuddy is warm and snug, with plenty of room to chart a course, read a book, or take a nap. Alerion's elegant mahogany house sides and coamings, rails, and louvered doors along with the teak cockpit and cockpit sole are very attractive.
