Alerion Express 28

The hull has a raked stem, an angled transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller, a lazarette and a fixed fin keel.

[1] The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta MD2010 diesel engine of 10 or 12 hp (7 or 9 kW) with a saildrive for docking and maneuvering.

[1][3] In a 2000 review naval architect Robert Perry wrote, "small boats are a good way to get back to basics.

The gentle sweep of the sheer is balanced by moderate overhangs and freeboard that is low by today's standards.

The result is a boat that has the romance of yesterday and the performance of today ... All gear is first rate and the overall look is one of a sophisticated and refined small yacht.
