Ariel entered in Single Handed Transpac Race

[Hull376]

I seem to recall my dad telling me that Ariels sailed this race in the "early" days. True? If so I guess the race rules require significant weight additions. Would be informative for a comparison of then vs now in terms of weight. Any race historians? I'm not sure what defines the early days, but I presume it's the sixties!

Ebb, the waterline on Charisma is between indentation lines in the glass, subtle but there nonetheless. Factory? Not my dad for sure! Bow sits an inch or so above the waterline, and stern sits on it. Depends on how full my original Monel water tank is. Charisma is outboard model. I'll measure at some point, but maybe Bill will not like us talking about water lines here!
