Hi Friends,

The Mystery boat, most likely a Pearson Ariel, has Delaware registration number: DL1947H.  She has been beautifully repainted a year or two ago (or fairly recently) with a lovely handpainted picture of a Ondine Sprite on her transom.  She is a dark blue hull, with a white sheer and dark red bottom paint, white cabin house and deck, with replaced smoke plexiglass ports.  She is on a tandem trailer!

I will try and find out about her owner!

Hi David,

Yes, Indeed, this ONDINE has a awlgrip looking navy blue hull with a lovely painting on the transom of a watersprite with the name and she still carries her Delaware registration!

I don't know who owns her, but she is new to the Cincinnati boatyard!

She is a beauty and someone added smoke glass ports, too!

Hi Friends,

I love the Pearson Ariels and once owned a Pearson Electra that we sailed on Lake Erie.  An Electra took off a year or two ago with a guy who prepped her for an around the world voyage, but she disappeared!

Does anyone know if a Pearson called ONDINE, with Delaware registration numbers, is an Ariel?  We now have one at our boat storage lot in Cincinnati and she looks lovely!  I couldn't tell if she was an Ariel or a Triton!

We now are fixing up a 1962 Seafarer Rhodes Meridian, another old keelboat Classic!

A couple of years ago I wrote an article on Carl Alberg for Good Old Boat Magazine.  He is one of my favorite designers, along with Philip L. Rhodes!
