The Alerion 38, often referred to as the Alerion Express 38, represents a sophisticated evolution of the daysailer concept, bridging the gap between a pure afternoon performer and a capable weekend cruiser. Designed by Langan Design Partners in collaboration with the legendary Garry Hoyt, the 38 was conceived to provide the same aesthetic grace as the original Carl Schumacher-designed Alerion Express 28 but with significantly expanded utility and volume. It occupies a unique space in the market, appealing to traditionalists who value the "Herreshoff-style" profile—characterized by a low-slung cabin house, elegant overhangs, and a graceful sheer line—while demanding modern underbody characteristics and ease of operation. Built primarily by TPI (Tillotson Pearson Inc.) using the patented SCRIMP resin-infusion process, the hull is noted for its high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring that the boat remains stiff and responsive even in offshore conditions.
