DESCRIPTION
COMET, hull #5 of only eight Alerion Express 38 Yawls built, is a rare combination of classic yacht styling, modern performance, and comfortable cruising capability. Designed by Carl Schumacher, she features a distinctive yawl rig, Hoyt self-tending Jib Boom, and a custom Jim Taylor keel developed for enhanced performance. Her spacious cockpit, responsive handling, and versatile sail plan make her equally appealing for shorthanded sailing, day sailing, racing, or coastal cruising. Below, her warm traditional interior offers a comfortable salon, practical galley, enclosed head, accommodations for five, and generous natural light and ventilation. Built in 1998, COMET is an especially distinctive example of the Alerion 38 concept and an appealing choice for sailors seeking classic lines with modern sailing characteristics.
