Ariel Cranberry

[ebb]

'removed with very little fuss.'
You must have one of those very rare Ariel's made of rubber,
getting that out!

Others on the Board have found that blue polyester in their boats.
But it seems not to be all over, just in strange spots.
Ran into some on liotlgull. Maybe it was used as filler/leveler,
and colored for contrast ? ? Isn't gelcoat.

There is this story about our A/Cs: The Azores were having crop
failures. It seems the cousins Pearson provided work for the
farmers to build our craft. I found many strange anomalies in 338.

The hull is laid up in a single mold and has some deep narrow
areas that were difficult to laminate with the roving and matt.
The polyester resin itself is first class.

Alberg's lines drawing shows a nice sheer, but Pearson built them
with a dead straight sheer. Even so on 338 they had problems
connecting the top deck/cabin lamination with the stern of the hull.
Happy discoveries...

Have fun!
