2000 HERRESHOFF Alerion 26

Accomodations:
Behind the louvered doors, one finds port and starboard settee berths with a portable head and a opening hatch for light and ventilation. There is a small vanity sink with manual cold water. A Stereo is located over the enclosure for the diesel engine.

Mechanical Equipment:
There is an Aqua Drive coupler to minimize engine vibration and a Max-Prop feathering propeller to reduce drag. A 2000 double axle Triad trailer was custom made to handle this yacht. She is being stored inside as is the owners custom each winter. This is truly a one of a kind yacht that really stands out in the small group of Rumery Alerions which are exceptional in their own right.

Galley:
This is predominately a daysailer so bring a cooler, sandwiches and the beverages of choice.

Electonics and Navigational Gear:
She has an Simrad autopilot. A Autohelm Tridata instrument shows speed, depth and distance. The GPS is by Standard Horizon and boasts a 7" color display with charts of the Chesapeake Bay. This GPS was new in 2007.A VHF radio with RAM mike and compass are also at the helm. For entertainment the owner has installed a CD player with cockpit speakers

Electrical System:
There is a 12V DC system for engine start and accessories.

Deck and Hull Equipment:
The deck is planked with teak over glass and it looks great. There are a number of other custom features such as wheel steering, removable hatch and custom teak back rest which are not found on similar Alerions. Winches are self tailing and made of bronze as is most other deck hardware. The roller furling and traveler are by Harken , regarded as the best money can buy by many sailors.

Sails and Rigging:
This yacht has a self tending head sail with a club foot boom and Harken roller furling. The boat is rigged for a cruising spinnaker something not found on other similar yachts so that is the purpose of the bronze primaries you see in the photos. Otherwise she is totally self tending when tacking. Two self tailing coach roof winches handle halyards and other running rigging.
