In need of refinishing at the least. A shame about the delaminating, deformation and the motor bracket on transom(ouch!)

Keep 'em coming, Dave.
Like my hat?
What's that whole keel / underbody design about? Couldn't see how the rudder would work, looked more like a swing keel or ??
Interesting!

Sanford experimented with the Herreshoff-like boats he built. The cutaway you noticed was so a Saildrive unit could be used if wanted, among other things.
He also built MAGIC, a fifty foot Alerion type, as some might think of it, that had a (IIRC) cupro-nickel keel/floor underbody with a cold molded hull/topsides attached.

Sanford Alerion
Hi Dave,
I read your message regarding the Sanford Alerion. I purchased her several weeks back. The motor mount has been removed and her hull has been stripped down to bare wood and is ready for bottom paint and 8 coats of varnish on her hull. The delam was very minor and not structural. She will soon be right as new!
Best Regards,
Tim McElroy
