Hello everyone. My name is Larry and I have been working with much pleasure on my Pearson Ariel hull # 92. I bought her and hauled her myself 1300 miles from Mass. to Alabama. I started with cleaning of course and here is a glimpse of the condition she was in.. It was in Nov. when I brought her home so I tackled the interior first. I cleaned it up and scraped and sanded and painted. It was a lot of work and cold sometimes but I enjoyed seeing it evolve. It was also exciting to go through years of collectibles, trinkets, old tools and spare parts. I have cleaned the exterior and put one coat on the top and anti-skid. I have also stripped and re-varnished the exterior teak which was surprisingly in good shape. I will post some pictures of Anne how she looks now tomorrow. Happy sailing, keep up the dream.
