This thread is dedicated to photos of Ebb's refurbishing of Ariel #338.
The first photo is of Ebb's garage. Note the conveniently placed tow vehicle near the door :)
Inside the garage . . .
Here is the replacement straongback as seen from the main cabin.
Another view of the sb construction:
Another of the SB
Last SB photo
Oops, forgot the support photo . . .
Reinforcing under foredeck
New knee for the forward chainplate. Note the old Pearson tab inside the new structure.
Looking aft at the starboard cockpti locker from the main cabin. Black pipe is new cockpit drain.
The cockpit drains exit through the new holes each side of the ob well.
This is a "shelf" built under the forepeak bunk (gone). Custom water tanks are planned for port and stbd.
Well, that was the first of the series. Stay tuned. In about a month we will have more photos. If you have questions, please ask Ebb. All of this is way out of my area of expertise. :p
Holy Moley!
Ebb you have been busy. That is going to be one stiff boat.
Very nice workmanship.
Let me know if you need some new chainplate bolts. I have some extra silicone bronze screws, nuts and washers. The screws are a half inch longer than the original ones.
