If anyone (farther away than I) is interested, I can go to Montague and take a peek. It's about a half hour north of here and I'd be happy to oblige.

Your Association would really appreciate getting the hull number and state reg number to update the yacht registry, if you make the trip. Maybe you could also leave a note on the boat, for a new owner, about the ACYA Web page and forums. :)

Title: "Teddy"

Thanks for noticing. "Teddy" is hull #42. I bought her in 2005 from a guy who had it in his family for 30 years. Teddy was his grandmother's nickname so I just stayed with it. I've had many hours of pleasure sailing her, but she's not going in the water this year, so I thought maybe someone else would like to take over.

Originally was listed for $7000, but I dropped it to $6000 last week.

Moxie Marine actually has 2 locations. The store and shop are in Montague, but the marina is on the other side of the White River, in Whitehall.

Any questions? gravey1111@verizon.net But I'm only able to check my e-mail on weekends.

I called the brokerage on this Ariel. Sails original, topsides painted blue. Deck has moisture issues. There hasn't been much done to this Ariel according to broker. I will keep looking.
