From earlier this year: FS. Ariel #412. Virginia

I remembered this one because of the enclosed head. The interior sounds great! Someone buy her so we can see some pics!

Fully enclosed head may mean that the door works into the V-berth stateroom.

1966 Hull No. 412. I have her for sale (reluctantly) as I own another classic (Block Island 40) and it is difficult and perhaps unwise to try to restore, maintain and sail both. Thus I will not sell her to someone who does not appreciate such a beauty. Sounds like letting a family pet go only to a good home, doesn't it?
