Title: FS: 1966 Ariel #392 in Michigan - $1000
Post by: drm901 on June 08, 2016, 09:14:47 PM
Very good condition boat.  Has always been in fresh water, up north, as best I know, so only sailed for 4 or so months a year.  I've owned this boat since 1994.  I think there have only been 4 owners.  Boat has more sails than you would know what to do with, from spinnaker, to a pretty new fully batten main.  I think there are about 6-10 jibs, the old main, etc.  All hank on.  All very, very good condition.

Inboard 10 horsepower, 2 cylinder volvo penta diesel.  New stuffing box.

Knot meter, depth, distance combo;  compass, autopilot.

Custom steel cradle.

I'm only selling it because I'm located in TX and the boat is in MI.

Issues:  one soft spot on port fore deck at bow pilot.  Engine MAY have to be rebuilt soon.  Was starting to smoke a little.
