Hey Clay..it's Racer Bud..I used to own the intl. folkboat at Loch Lomond...I may be back in the hunt for a boat...
I browsed the Ariel website, and there you were/are...
Good Job!

I have spoken with the lady about this Ariel(about 1 month ago)..She is selling it because of back problems...the price was 5000.00 and at that time she said she was 'not' flexible on her price...She truly loves the boat...and It does sound like a very well cared for one...An acquaintance of mine at Loch lomond YH recently(3-4 months) bought 'Solidaire' for 2000.00..he has cleaned her up and she is very nice looking..and has roller furling jib.

Thanks to everyone who replied with info/advice...The reason I have let my Intl. Folkboat go after many years is to get away from the outboard well situation(physically)..and to get a little more creature comfort..primarily a larger cockpit..
It seems clear that the Ariel does not take kindly to a transom mounted outboard..so..Although not completely ruling her out. I am still in the hunt.

With much appreciation for your help

Hello..I am seeking a Pearson Ariel in San fran Area...in nice condition...No fixer uppers please.I recently sold my Intl. Folkboat(owned for 27 years)..I am a serious buyer..I have 1 very pertinent question...Does the Ariel do well with a transom mounted outboard?
Thanks
