Ariel 408 LINDA ANNE

[Charles]

This is my Ariel ID Plaque.

[Charles]

At Carrabelle Florida, She was too heavy with the oyster bar attached to her hull, and very slow, waiting for sanding and new paint.

Both look absolutely authentic !:cool:

[Charles]

Thanks Ebb, I am sure she is pretty much the real thing, the cabin interior is original and looks good, just needs cleaning and some refits,

Before and after photos are encouraged  ..  ..  :cool:

[Charles]

Will do,  I am building a new rudder now and am going to fair and paint the rest of the hull in Carrabelle, Then its on to Kings Bay in Crystal River.

[ebb]

You have barnacle Monet, shame you can't auction it off !:D

[Charles]

Need big money for my monet!

[Charles]

Someone somewhere.
New rudder cut out and ready for the shafts and fiberglass.and paint, etc

[Bill]

It's difficult to tell, but is Linda Anne an inboard model?

[Charles]

She is the inboard model, but the engine has been removed and a tohatsu 8 was mounted aft, she still has the drive shaft though, I am going to mount a Yamaha 9.9 high thrust for now and look for an atomic 4, gas or diesel.......

Charles,

  Ahoy!  I am at Carabelle this morning aboard "Ariel Spirit" (hull #3).  My boat is "Faith" (hull #226), it is in Pensacola.  Where in Carabelle are you?

[Charles]

Good morning, She is on the hard at MS Dockside Marina, good to see another Ariel at Carrabelle.

Just passing through, what a great little town!

Congrats, Charles! You're going to really love it the first time you feel her move under the press of sail.
