Katie has such NICE CLEAN bilges...

I had NO idea that there was so much room down there under the forward step up..... I was hoping to stow some extra stuff in there myself, now I KNOW I will be.

It is interesting to me that Katie has a small block formed into the port side in on the deck in this area. Faith has the same block.... but I have not noticed it on any other Ariels I have seen...

Does anyone know what this tille block/cleat might be for?

(on edit: the one shown in post #119).
