A shot of the bottom from the stern, with the Nissan 6 in the well. The hull is freshly waxed gelocat after some gelcoat ding repair and a twice-over firstly with Starbright rubbing compound using a buffer, and secondly by hand with surfboard fiberglass polish purchased in bulk from a local fiberglass/surf board supply house.
It was a great day for Augustine and me, because we were back into the water by 4:00 PM, we took a quick turn out into the bay to test my rehabilitated knotlog, and mostly because we were treated to a visit by Ernie Rideout, who taught both my father and I to sail in a Pearson Ensign many years go, and who today remains an active member of the Ariel Association, and serves as the able helmsman on Pathfinder in her many racing victories.
