The Alerion Express 20 represents the entry point into the "Alerion Sailing" philosophy, distilled into a compact, manageable, and aesthetically striking daysailer. Introduced during a period of brand revitalization under USWatercraft, the 20 was designed to capture the soul of the legendary Alerion Express 28 in a package that is both easier to singlehand and capable of being trailered or kept on a lift. Unlike its larger siblings, which balance overnight capabilities with performance, the 20 is a pure opencockpit vessel, emphasizing tactile feedback and immediate access to the water. The hull features the signature sweep of the sheer and a traditional transom that masks a modern, highperformance underwater profile, according to the Alerion Yachts official design specifications. By utilizing a high ballasttodisplacement ratio and a vacuuminfused fiberglass hull, the builder ensured that the smallest member of the fleet retained the "big boat" feel and stability for which the brand is known.
