    Left some Association literature and contacts on the boat. When he next visits, maybe he will reply.

    Bill,

    I was up at Svendsen's yard in Alameda again the week before last after one of my periodic trips to Coast Guard Island. This Ariel is looking great. From the exterior, I'd say they probably never looked better when they were on the show room floor. The rigging has some interesting non-stock features worth a few photos. Unfortunately I did not have a camera.

    So if you or anyone else are/is in Alameda, grab a burrito at Gourmet burritos near Mariner Village and wander around Svendsen's yard. It's the best place I know to watch boat owners spend money on their boats in sometimes wondrous and sometimes cruel and unusual ways.

    BOAT's OWNER IDENTIFIED

    We learned at the Maintenance Seminar this Saturday that this boat is Ariel #100 (formerly CENTURION). The new owner is Ed Burke of San Francisco and he plans to launch her in the next week or so. Ed just registered on the board, so you can check out his profile.

    The gang on F dock at the Fortman Marina in Alameda is recommending that Ed slip the boat with them. Since he's new to Ariels, being near four or five others (and their skippers) would be a great asset.

    Does not appear the boat will go into the water this weekend. Here is a photo of Ed's strongback reinforcement.

    The boat's engine is single cylinder gasoline and made in France. Very small and light (about 80 pounds, I'm told). Did not learn the HP. The carbuator controls were being worked on when I snapped this photo.

    I realize this is an old thread but I noticed that Bill said back in 2004:

    The gang on F dock at the Fortman Marina in Alameda is recommending that Ed slip the boat with them. Since he's new to Ariels, being near four or five others (and their skippers) would be a great asset.
    I am on F dock at the Fortman Marina. I know a couple of Tritons on C dock but where is the Ariel gang?

    The group has broken up with two boats going to Santa Cruz, one sold and another moving to the south side of the marina. As for A-100, she ended up in Marin.

    Ed repowered Ariel 100 with a Beta 14 Diesel around 2006. I purchased the boat from Ed in 2011. She’s a great boat and it’s been fun sailing and taking care of her.

    I bought Ariel 100 over ten years ago and she’s going strong. I had a new rudder built by Spaulding and it’s perfect. The original had play at the seams and fluttered at speed. The 14 horse Beta runs like a finely tuned sewing machine (if sewing machines were diesel).
