The Alerion Sport 33 is the perfect yacht for those who do not want to wait for crew (or a narrow range of conditions) to savor a weekend, a day or even an hour out sailing. As with her larger and smaller sisters, the easy set-up and put-away of this yacht allows you to spend more time sailing and reminds you of the way sailing should be. While all Alerions maintain scintillating performance in most conditions, the Sport 33 adds another flavor of exhilaration while maintaining the single handed capabilities that Alerion Express is known for. The self tacking jib allows for easy tacking while the optional asymmetrical spinnaker provides easy yet powerful off wind performance. Whether you’re sailing out of the harbor or in a club race, sail past your competition again and again. The unmistakable feel of the tiller combined with all control lines at your fingertips will surely elevate your spirit when the lightest zephyr takes hold of you. We haven’t forgotten that the best times are usually underway. So, ten feet of unobstructed cockpit includes seats long enough for an afternoon nap or for a bunch of friends. But creature comforts are certainly not forgotten below where woodwork, detail and finish are proof that this is an Alerion Express at its core.
