I searched the forum and could not find this recently sold Ariel. It looks like it is in very good shape. Ad has many pictures (link below).
The ad also mentions the Association website and the manual is listed in the sale.

I seem to remember that one heading to Southern Maine - York perhaps? I really like the idea of the pull-outs in the galley...
Interesting that the rudder has the cutout for the prop but the keel does not. :confused:

It's likely that the factory filler piece fitted into the rudder's prop aperture has become lost. Nearly all the rudders were made with this aperture, regardless of the auxiliary power. There is also "false work" covering a similar aperture in the hull on outboard model boats.
