- CP, she was absolutely worth the wait! BTW, have you got pictures of that newly painted mast yet? Or have you been too busy with your new gal?
- "Tony G", that was my reaction when I first saw her too!
- And "thanks" for posting the Uncle Heny's ad David S.!
Now, just to get the boat...

Wow, Mike - She's a beaut! And only 8 hulls later, Katie Marie was born.
Good things do come to those who wait!!!
Love those companionway steps, the anchor locker, and the slat-separated cockpit lockers - all things I'll be doing before long.
Also, I see you have the same teak countertop galley organizer Katie had. Yes, "had" - I took it out a little while ago, and am loving the space it freed up. Until I saw your pics, I figured it was an aftermarket thing, but I guess it is an OEM Pearson Ariel piece o' stuff. (Anyone need one?)
Again, Congrats! You'll have a blast sailing her down.
Kurt - Ariel #422 Katie Marie

Small boats, long distances...
Thanks Kurt!
Hey, does Katie Marie have cast aluminum deck hardware instead of the chromed bronze too? If so, I wonder when Pearson decided to cut costs that way.
Bringing her home!
After waiting a day because of this, then finally leaving Belfast, Maine in this on Friday we set out. (GPS is a wondrous thing!)
