Ariel Sighting - A329 "Imagine"

[Lucky Dawg]

On Muskegon Lake a mile or so from Lucky Dawg. Left an invitation to join us (in a ziploc) in his cockpit.

Nice looking boat... That's just the second red hull i've seen on these pages.

Sad old C-74 in Sandusky is red and Paul just painted an A-97 red - Sharp!  Red was my preference, but green has grown on me.
 
This Ariel has a cooler built into the cockpit seat at the starboard bulkhead!
 
I would have taken more pictures, but 329's neighbors seemed to think I was casing the joint...  might have been my acrobatic reach to snap the picture of her hull number.

Kudos Kyle! And nicely done with the hull number - bonus points for sure! And a very nice looking Ariel to boot. I didn't see him in the registry, hopefully the owner will join us soon.

PS. Sadly, I was hauled on Oct. 11, and this Fall has been gorgeous. From the date of my shake down sail, that only gave me a 109 day season.      Here's hoping for a longer one next year!

uhhh, where is said "registry"?
 
I think I'll have 153 days this year. Season could be longer on the front end, but I didn't get the boat till mid-May. Sailing weather this late in MI is a gift! I could have told you how many sailing days I had, but I had ALL of my sailing days as tracks on my GPS - updated the software and it reset the memory - RATS!! Sailed at least twice a week this season, occasionally more. With a little one on the way in March, next season may well have fewer days. (cooler-schmooler - maybe I could glass a built-in infant yacht-seat at the bulkhead...)

Nice BIG Hello to that name on the transom!
Wonder how they pronounce it?
There's the John Lennon way of course.
But it could be a gal's name like Lucylou or Marilyn or Irmajean
with emphasis on the first sylable: IM a-jean.
IM AGINE.

I got my copy of the 'registry' in our too infrequent Association Newsletter.
You should be on the mailing list!

What he said. Mines a couple of years old and most assuredly outdated...

That is a nice looking boat, they wear unique colors well don't they
 
It's interesting, you can tell whether an Ariel is an outboard or inboard model just by looking at pictures like this:

They sure do look pretty in red, from the pictures I'd venture a guess to say that it is the same color #97 wears (awlgrip Claret Red). Seasons nearly over her in the Cheaseapeake too, had some great sailing last weekend, more to come this weekend if all goes as planned.
