Cape Horn in a Electra

[Scott Galloway]

Well, I posted Mr. Vigor's quote from "Twenty Small Boats..." in response to a tongue in cheek comment on the Ariel being more aesthetically pleasing than the Triton.  I actually don't concur with Mr. Vigor in his aesthetic comments on the Triton. Hey, they are all beautiful in their own way, but compared to the Ariel, I do think that the Triton's doghouse and that of the Bristol 27 are a bit out of proportion when viewed from certain angles. The Ariel, on the other hand, is perfectly proportioned in all ways. I prefer to think of the Ariel as a smaller version of the Whitby Alberg 30. Also, that door through the main bulkhead and the lower ceiling in the V berth area are adaptations to save on barber costs.

And by the way the Cal 20, Catalina 27 were also in that book, with specifric instructions on how to strengthen them to make ocean passages. It is a very interesting book.
