Pearson Ariel #304

Righto!  NICE lights.

And personally I like them au naturale. Or non buffed.
Have you got bronze frames for the windows too?

Gorgeous.

I looked at that, but it was over 800 dollars, so I took the old alluminum ones, had them welded where broken, ground down, then powdercoated the color you see, the closest to bronze I could find.

The last of the brightwork.  Except for the Coamings and a few inside pieces.  Good riddance!!!!

[legalair]

A little intimidating at first, but a good quality #50 rasp makes all the difference.

Got the bottom coat on, the windows in, most of the deck hardware installed, boom and mast painted.  Starting to come together.

Not the best shots, but the light wasn't great.

I am almost done.  Here are some updated photos!  I am going to make a teak header to go over the strongback and put three nautical weather dials in the header.  Bought some brass accented bulkhead lights today also. Just hadn't put 'em in at post time.  You can see the A/C duct in the starboard cabinet.  Marine radio/cd is going to left and up from that.  Speakers will go at the beginning of the shelf.

Here is a pic of the A/C cabinet and the new berth cushions.

Beautiful - a great job!
I enjoyed looking at your quick progress!

I noticed the color of the mast... Is this the Ariel mast?

So... What are your plans? Where will you be sailing? Are you contemplating an ocean voyage, or do you have a lake nearby?

Original mast as far as I know. Just launched her into Lake Hefner, I local lake here in OKC.  Getting her rigged up tonight and tomorrow.  Will update later.

Any reasonable offers for my baby?  Comes with a trailer also.  I hate to even consider selling her but my slip will most likely be unavailable in May.  The slips on the other side of the lake are very prone to theft and vandalism and would hate for anything to happen to her.  

Some amenities include, marine heat and a/c which is super quiet and efficient with programmable thermostat.  Keeps the boat at 75 in 100 degree outside temp.  

Flat Screen TV with built-in DVD on swivel mount for viewing in cabin or berth.  

All new interior lights. amenities

High end Harken traveler system, all new hardware, sheets, etc.
