The Alerion 38 is a 38.0ft masthead sloop designed by Halsey Herreshoff and built in fiberglass by Bristol Yachts since 1969.
The Alerion 38 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a short water supply range.
