I'm the proud new owner of Ariel #242 "Harp". She's my first "heavy" boat, and is moored in Beaufort NC. I bought it from my neighbor Josh ("animaljosh" on the forum) who is a mutual admirer of Alberg designs. From what I've found, she's was cared for in Emerald Isle the majority of her life, then was donated to the Sea Scouts program some years back. When the Westerbeke 10 started acting up, it sat for a few years, then was flipped to me on the cheap with the diesel and roller furling removed. This summer I am working on finding some used hank-on sails, paint the interior, find a good outboard to go in the well, and sail her as often as I can.
