Alsberg Brothers Boatworks

Alsberg Brothers Boatworks was an American boat builder based in Santa Cruz, California.

[1][5] The Alsberg brothers founded their company to build the Express 27, one of the first designs to be built using the vacuum bag moulding process.

This boat was intended to compete with designs like the Moore 24 and the Olson 30 as an ultralight racer.

But we eventually decided on the largest possible boat that could use a single speed (Barient 10) winch for the jib, which turned out to be 27 feet.

Founder Terry Alsberg explained, "we'd been building custom boats and selling them at production prices".
