This boat is for sailor who lives to open up the old varnish tin and stroke away.  The cockpit coamings are to die for though.

I KNOW!!!

I absolutely love those rounded forward corners of the cabin.  They remind me of thoses lavish Hinckley Sou'westers.  Inexplicably, transom hung ruddders have become appealing to me lately.  Am I going through the 'change'?  You know manopause...

A Frisco Flyer was almost my "The Boat" (before the Ariel of course!). We made an offer and even had it named, then my the surveyor called...

They have a really clever galley setup in the starboard corner too.  Really neat little boats!

Personally, I much prefer the ones with a doghouse like our Ariels...

That definately qualifies as boat porn.  Hubba-Hubba!

Is that the CL just down the dock from you?

Don't I wish! I'd post a full Gallery spread if it were! Looks like she sails out of Connecticut.
