I was a little upset when I posted and forgot.
Boat with newer Tohatsu OB small skiff with 2hp Suzuki. $2500.00 or offer.

A medical issue in my family forces me to sell my Ariel.  I will not be able to use her for at least a year and do not wish to pay for the mooring and just let her sit. I've only had her for about three months just had the electrical gone through. She is a dry boat. I've only had her out on the Outboard. Older jib two mains. Needs cosmetic work and running rigging replaced.  

This is a sad day for us. But we don't want her just sitting on a mooring uncared for.

I am giving this forum first shot. She is in Morro Bay CA with a transferable mooring.

Please email. 1911tmc@gmail.com. I won't have time to watch the forum. But I will check from time to time.

I work in public safety in the San Luis Obispo area. We have been told to look for debris that may start washing up on our shores. We have been told not to worry about it much but we still will have environmental health come out and test it all.  The news media is on the watch too.  I would think after we get some samples to look at we will know more about the disaster.  I personally don't think it will effect us much.

Thanks all I thought I had missed something bigger than I wanted to mess with........
Now back to the clean up. Going to try to get the sails up this weekend for the first time........wish me luck.

Thanks for that great info Ebb. I do have the draining scuppers (now that I cleaned them out) I feel better now. I will clean that area up and put a little epoxy there as the fabric is showing and not worry about it

I finally got some time to work on A239 and as I was cleaning I noticed water puddleing by the transom. On closer look I think the deck may have settled ( for lack of a better way to explain it) Has any else run into this problem.

I too need to replace those ports have you guys had any luck finding anything. The prices above are almost what I paid for the boat. The PO just cut lexan and bolted it in place

I'm glad to hear the wiring is not going to be the nightmare I thought it might be.  I agree with your comment about the lines. When I saw her for sail my first glance glance said that is going to be a beautiful boat. This is my first "full size" sailboat. I can't wait.

More wiring

Here are a few photos do 239. I've got lots of cosmetic work to do. I would love it if some of you could throw out ideas. This repair was done poorly but is somewhat strong. Looks like a stanchion pulled out

Thanks ebb.

Hi everyone we are the proud new owners of Ariel #239. We just got it yesterday.

I used this site to help me learn about her before the purchase and will belooking for a lot of advice as I finish what the previous owners started.

The people I bought it from said they paid $100.00 for the skiff and theAriel was thrown in free!

It's seaworthy but rough cosmetically

I hope to get her looking good this winter and use her to fulfill mylifelong dream of learning to sail.

I was just recently transferred to SLO and live in Morro Bay
