Jason,

Thanks for taking time to comment. You make a strong arguement in favor of the E27 and that a new one is worthy of consideration if one is looking a 26-30ft, $50-70000 boat.

Re: another Schumacher design

11/19/2003 Alerion Express 28 One Design Fleet The first Alerion Express 28 One Design Fleet has been formed in San Francisco, with Kirk Smith as Fleet Captain. The starting base is 9 boats, and a number of One Design Races are planned, as well as several social activities.

The above is from the A/E28 website.

What sorts of comments might you have about this boat, viewed from the perspective of an E27 sailer?
