CUSTOM PERFORMANCE SAILS FOR ALERION BOATS

Alerion Yachts Sails by North Sails

Alerion is a name associated with some of the prettiest daysailers afloat. Combining classic overhangs and graceful lines with a modern, easily driven underbody, models such as the Alerion Express 28, the Alerion 33, and the Alerion 41 are designed to be a pleasure to sail, often single-handed, with the minimum of fuss. The appeal lies in simplicity, so the sail plan needs to be effortless to handle as well as good to look at.

This is exactly the kind of sailing North Sails enjoys getting right. We build each Alerion mainsail, Alerion headsail, and Alerion spinnaker to your boat's measurements, and a self-tacking jib makes short, single-handed sails as simple as easing the sheet and turning the wheel. Lightweight options such as an asymmetric or a code zero add easy speed on quiet afternoons.

Because every sail is shaped for your specific Alerion, the boat sets up cleanly and handles beautifully with one hand on the helm. Built from quality cloth and with service support from your local loft, your Alerion sails keep that easy, elegant character intact for many seasons of relaxed sailing.

ALERION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A:

An Alerion is a relatively simple boat to sail, so the inventory is usually straightforward, but there is still no set price, since it comes down to the sails you need and the cloth you pick. A replacement Alerion mainsail is a modest outlay next to a complete new suit. Tell us whether you would rather buy Alerion sails as a one-off or order new Alerion sails for the whole boat, and we will price it to your exact model. Start with an Alerion sail quote and a North Sails expert will follow up.

A:

Yes, and it is one of the most popular sails we build for Alerion owners. A self-tacking jib turns every tack into a simple turn of the wheel, which is exactly what you want on a boat designed for easy, single-handed daysailing. We shape it to set well across its range and match it to your existing track and hardware so the boat stays effortless to sail.

A:

Yes. The Alerion is made for relaxed solo sailing, and we set the inventory up to suit. A self-tacking jib, sensible cloth weights, and easy furling options mean you can raise, trim, and stow everything comfortably on your own. The goal is a sail plan that lets you spend your time enjoying the sail rather than managing it.

A:

For a daysailer, the priorities are easy handling, good looks, and lasting shape. A quality woven Dacron is hard to beat for value and simplicity, while a cruising laminate holds its shape longer and sets beautifully if you want a step up. Because most Alerion owners sail for pleasure rather than results, we usually keep the choice simple. The sail material guide explains the differences, or ask your local loft.

A:

Yes, and it transforms light-air days. An asymmetric or a furling code zero gives an Alerion easy power when the breeze drops, and a furling setup means you can deploy and stow it single-handed without drama. We size it to your rig and recommend the simplest hardware to handle it, so it stays a pleasure rather than a project.
