Description
UNDER AGREEMENT
There's a lot to say for the feeling of power that comes with steering a huge sailing yacht in a breeze, but the best way to appreciate the joys of sailing is to reduce it to its basic elements. Enjoying sailing with a small boat will reacquaint you with the basics that probably were responsible for your initial attraction to sailing. Taming the elements, self-sufficiency and mastery over wind and waves. Small boats are a good way to get back to the basics of sailing. The Carl Schumacher-designed Alerion-Express is a great example.
BRIM is a well maintained example of this venerable daysailer. She is replete with all the essentials for extended day-sailing or a brief overnight excursion. If racing is on the agenda, BRIM comes with a newer suit of carbon sails. For the off-season her hull and decks can be protected under a fitted winter cover with galvanized frame. BRIM delivers outstanding performance under sail, and is specifically designed to be easily single- handed. With a fin keel and spade rudder providing exceptional maneuverability and stability, the Hoyt Jib boom bringing off wind speed, and a 9-hp Yanmar diesel adding reliable power, this beautifully balanced boat sets the standard for the ideal daysailer.
