Hi Jeff -
She sounds nice! Good luck!
I'm sure that I am one of many who would like to see some pics of her, especially the head you built in. Do you have any you could post for us? Thanks!
'Lo Jeff,
At the price she must be worth it!
Why not post a pic or two here?

This is Ariel 412 from the thread: FS: Ariel in VA w/ inboard
The owner emailed me some pics and for posterity's sake, I thought I'd post them.

Some views of the v-berth...
Looking aft...
And yes, to port, he has managed to install an enclosed head. I'd really like to hear the details on this. Looks a bit tight, but he managed to do it!
Hopefully, a happy new owner of A-412 will join us soon and fill us in on all the gory details... (or the current owner who has thought twice about giving up his well-loved little Ariel)
cool, I see the spare drawers and cabinet door found a home in the galley...
I like the idea of an enclosed head against the bulkhead rather than on either side of the companionway as one enters the cabin. Having it forward gives you the option to keep both berths rather than sacraficing one to the Head Gods. I can also picture a nice fold down table that triples for charts, extra galley space, and dining. I posted some links of pictures from an ad on Yachtworld of a CD-27 interior with the type of table that I alluded too. This configuration mixed with an enclosed head/hanging locker would bring a lot of versatility to these small boats. Ideas are flowing, I just wish cash and time would keep up!

You can put me in this camp as well. I'll be cruising with a family of four and need the sleeping quarters.Quote:

Unfortunately, this link to the thread no longer has the pictures up. (Dang, I knew I should have saved those off somewhere!)Quote:
