She went in the water on June 19. Her starboard engine is running perfectly, while her port engine needs a starter. It shoould be in in the next few days. The Sea Scouts skipper brought her to thier mooring under one engine, and called to tell me how well she handled as such.

Her engines and systems have clearly been maintained meticulously. They have new carburetors, new alternators, water pumps, and distributors. The engines are winterized, and should be ready to go for the season. She is in Groton, CT. Make an appointment to have a look!

The Yanmar engine ran beautifully, but we did not try any of the electronics. The running lights functioned well. The boat handles well in general.

She is a great boat for someone willing to put some time into fixing her up. She is overall sound, but will need a good amount of cosmetic work.

[widgetkit id=12]

Hull/Decks:

  • Her hull and decks seem to be in good shape for the most part. There is a spot on the starboard quarter that has been hit. It should be fixed. There is also a crack all along the stern as well. (See photos)

Keep an eye on this section. We are going to sail her to main this month, and along the way will be addressing several things on the list below. Our guess is that we may find a few things to add as well.

Head: shower taken apart. Needs a cleaning.

There is a new water heater, but we have not tested it yet. The water pump has not been tested either.

Some floorboards need to be re-finished, or replaced.

Most of the wood around ports shows signs of staining. The boat seems dry but water either did get in or is getting in. We presume that the leaks have been stopped, because the boat is dry, and the cushions seem to be in very good shape.

Electrical panel could be updated.

Deck hatches all need work: they have been patched to make them waterproof, but should be serviced.

1992 Atlantic Express Sport fish 34

[widgetkit id=64]

Cruising speed: 20 knots at 3200 rpm.

[widgetkit id=65]

Equally at home in the deep blue or dockside next to the big boats, this fantastic Express sport fishing yacht is designed with a fine balance of civility and bleeding knuckle game fishing in mind.

For the Sport fish enthusiast, the boat is outfitted to head offhshore, and stay there until you land the big one. With a beautifully finished custom Scopinich fighting chair, outriggers, and all you need to hunt, find, and bring in as big a fish and you can handle.

Once home you can put the chair away and set up the custom teak table on deck to tell stories over.

The Atlantic 34 has a great reputation for being a boat that can handle offshore situations. This boat has been maintained by a loving owner, with several upgrades and a great maintenance schedule.

Layout:

On deck:

The primary helm station is set up for easy and comfortable control, with all controls in easy reach from a seated postion. Most electronics are installed in lockers overhead for optimal function. A mates seat to port and two cushioned coolers provide plenty of extra seating.

The after deck is huge, with room for several loaded rods, or room for six to relax at sunset around the teak table for cocktails. There is a tack grated swim platform.

Access to the engine room is easy by lifting all panels away.

All other deck panels are removable via heavy duty stainless bolts. This makes all upgrades/ repairs painless.

Below is a meticulously maintained interior with a large v berth forward that can be set up as twin bunks or one very comfortable doupbe berth.

The settee to starboard drops as well to create a comfortable berth for guests.

The galley is to port with a recent fridge, hot and cold running water, and a two burner stove

2007 Alerion express 20

[widgetkit id=21]

The Alerion Express 20 is a finely crafted day sailor, built to the highest standards by Pearson Marine in Rhode Island. She is a perfect balance of traditional design and the latest in high tech hull design and construction. Adelante is fitted with a custom Carbon Fiber Hoyt Offset Rig. The unique rig, sail configuration, and easy cockpit layout make her as easy to sail as a cat boat, with the performance of a fast club racer.

We have had the pleasure of sailing this boat several times this season. She is truly a wonderful single- hander. Raising the sail is fast and easy, as is reefing, and dousing. Tacking and Jybing are a breeze.

Other than her unique sail plan, and rig, this lightly sailed Alerion 20 is a stock boat.

Some great features of this boat:

  • Harken blocks and tackle
  • Lightweight construction
  • Teak trim
  • Fits four comfortably

A few extras:

  • Manual bilge pump
  • Life jackets
  • Covered fenders and lines
  • Boat hook
  • Cooler

[widgetkit id=22]

The Patented Hoyt Offset Rig in Gary Hoyt's own words:

The fundamental difference of this patented rig is that both the boom and the horizontal gaff are carried out to the side of the mast by a special offset arm. This provides a totally clean leading edge to the mainsail, free of the windage interference of the mast, which penalizes the performance of conventional mainsails.

This offset arm also allows the forward projection of both boom and gaff ahead of the mast, creating a balanced rig that enables easier trimming in the same way that a balanced rudder enables easier steering. The Offset Rig also delivers an important new safety feature by significantly softening the force of the jibe. The approximate 20% of the sail area that is carried ahead of the mast acts as a brake by slowing the swing of the sail across the boat during the jibe.

A tensioned stay connects the forward end of the horizontal gaff to the forward end of the horizontal boom, and serves to guide sail hanks on the luff during hoisting, lowering and reefing. A similar tensioned stay connects the aft end of the gaff with the aft end of the boom, which assures that they will both act in concert, avoiding the wasteful twist off that has traditionally afflicted gaff rigs.

By enclosing the large diameter free standing mast with a light, stiff, aerodynamic sleeve that freely rotates 360º like a wind vane, windage drag is reduced by 75%. The combination of eliminating the windage of the traditional maze of spreaders and stays and eliminating the harmful effect of the mast at the leading edge of the sail creates a rig of unmatched aerodynamic efficiency.

The Patented Hoyt Offset Rig uniquely delivers:

  • More drive due to a totally clean leading edge and the optimum square headed profile that minimizes tip vortex and induced drag
  • Reduced sheeting loads due to the balance effect of carrying 20% of the sail area ahead of the mast pivot point
  • Greater safety by dramatically softening the "slam" factor of the jibe - the most dangerous maneuver in sailing
  • A drastic reduction in windage drag by eliminating traditional rigging
  • More economy by simplifying the rig to 3 light, strong, carbon tubes
  • Balanced reefing that lowers the center of effort of the sail without alternating the balance and maintaining a clean leading edge

Luhrs 28 Sportfisher

Luhrs 28 for sale. 1972 with recent engine providing easy cruising at 15 knots.

[widgetkit id=28]

This is a gently used and yard maintained Luhrs. She cruises at 12- 13 knots. She has been yard maintained with care at Tom's Point Marina in Port Washington, NY for the last fifteen years. Her donor took meticulous care of her, and made sure to keep a great maintenance schedule.

Recent improvements include a new engine in 98, new hydraulic dual station steering, new VHF, and more.

We delivered her during the first week of November from Port Washington NY, to Allen's Harbor, RI. We found her to be a very comfortable boat to cruise in. Though she cruises at 13 kts., we found she would motor along at 15+ with very little effort.

The last part of the trip found us rounding Point Judith in a bit of an ugly Nor'easter with a five foot ground swell out of the south. The boat handled the conflicted seas beautifully; we ran the boat warm and dry from the helm station below.

[widgetkit id=29]

Layout:

  • The flybridge affords a great view of everything around. The boat is very easly to control from the helm, and there is plenty of room for guests up top as well. A custom port light below the wheel allows easy viewing of all instruments below.
  • The afterd deck is huge, with loads of room for fishing, lounging or playing. Her teack swim ladder makes for easy entrance from the water.
  • Access to the engine room is via an easily lifted hatch in the after deck.
  • Step down in to the main cabin to find a table to starboard with service for four to five adults. The belowdecks helm is forward of that, with the v berth all the way forward. The v berth is large and comfortable for two.
  • Her galley on the port side aft of the v berth has a microwave, a tow burner range, refrigerator, stainless sink with hot and cold running water, and lots of stowage.
  • Aft of that is the head with an updated marine toilet, plumbed to a holding tank, as well as a sink and shower.

Hull/Decks:

  • Her hull and decks are in great shape. There is one scratch on the starboard side forward (see photos). Otherwise she is far better than one would expect for a boat of her vintage. The great condition of her decks is a true testament to how well the boat was looked after.

Electrical:

  • Her batteries are well mounted aft of the galley table with the isolator switch inboard of the batteries. The twelve volt panel is at the lower hlem station. We tested and used most of the switches, lights, and gear, and found all to be in great working order.
