The Life lines are fine they are a help when things Pipe up, and get a bit hectic, your already ripping them off the boat and you haven't even made a offer Geez!:)

no trailer, and The life lines came with the boat , I had a new jib made  high cut similar to the ratsey one that came with the boat. after sailing with the current life lines  I rather like them.

okay, i'll get some more pics up, i also forgot to mention, the boat come with a brand new suit of sails , spinnaker  and new gear, i can also be contacted @ scuderias@comcast.net.

I have a nice Commander I  refitt over the last 2 years beautiful awlgripped ,hull and deck, deck is a white with blue white non skid hull is custom, sky blue mix, red boot stripe turns heads every time we sail! stripped the bottom and put 4 barrier coats on , newer 4 stroke Mercury 6hp. painted the interior, 2 new drycell batteries , charger, wiring, switch panel , new sunbrella , madras plaid cushions, custom  cooler box where the sink was, new compass, and depth gauge, replaced standing rigging where needed, and replaced all running rigging.
             I am asking $9000, ready to sail located in Stuart Fl.
        I love the boat , I am only selling to move up to a alberg 35 or Pearson vangaurd,  can't have both , wish i could!

sorry it took so long to get a few pictures of #272 Madras, up anyway here are some shots at the dock here in Stuart Fl. , both hull and top sides are in awlgrip hopefully the contrasting nonskid color will show up.
     
     regards, cbs, P.S. 75 degrees and a good sailing day in S. Fl.

sorry, had a opti regatta last weekend  which has taken over our sailing time as of late, could not get down to boat for pix. i will get some this weekend,

commanders have the 2 bars and star military insigna

I used awlgrip and had a pro do it , hull and topsides $3500 for everything including materials , it looks fantastic!  I painted the  bottom including barrier coat myself, thats where i belong where no one can see my work, it was brushed on the hull and sprayed on the deck. light blue with a little extra color on the hull, decks white and non skid bluewhite for contrast, I can't say enough for the pro painter  , at the dock or on the water always compliments, for me worth every penny. I posted a few pics when it was in the yard , if you like i can take a few more at the dock.

Hello I Own Hull #272 Commander, Just Had Her Painted This Summer  With Awlgrip Lt. Blue And And A Bit More Tint To Brighten Up The Color A Bit, It Looks Great Anfd I Feel The Awlgrip Is The Superior Product Over The Long Haul , I Paid $1500 To Have It Applied, It Was Brushed And It Looks Beautiful, From A Foot Or A Inch Away, But It Was Done By A Professional, I Know I Never Could Have Achieved The Same Look, The Decks Are White And The Nonskid ,bluewhite For Contrast , Witha Red Boot Stripe  And Fresh Varnish She Is A Real Head Turner.
  I Put Up A Few Photos When It Was In The Yard, I Will Add A Few In The Water. Recards, Cbs

who's adam? how much$$$ for the pole?
   
    regards , cbs #272 commander

Having recently put comander #272 back in the water  after  a total refitt I want to add some more sails, mast  has a track and eye for spinnaker, but no pole  , my question is did thre comander/Ariel, originally come with a wood pole? if not what is the right pole for these boats.
                  thanks cbs

Recieved My  Bronze , Commander Plates On Sat. They Look Great, I Will Spap A Few Pics, They Were Sent Promtly As Well

thanks commanderpete, I will send some more pics along , I started with stock Awlgrip light blue and thought it looked washed out , added a little more blue, too bright, and settled for version you see on the boat now, I think it looks great and in keeping with the vintage of the boat,
  The deck is in insignia white and the non skid in a contrast blue tone white
