Sirocco April 03
Your hard work and caring is very evident!! Certainly a very beautiful Ariel. Jim
Yep. Sirocco is the Queen of the Fleet.
Welcome back, Steve.
very sweet!
Magnificent, sir. Any photos of the salon?
George,best I can do .Heres 1
Heres 2
Steve,
Very nicely done; looks very cozy; very shippy! I absolutely love it. If you ever want to sell her call me. You know I'm kidding but on the flip side I'm really not kidding. One of these days I will have a second Ariel; one up North and one for central and South.
Jim
Steve,
Your photos are always poetry in exquisite Ariel form. One question: Is the bracket beneath your sink above the cabinet door for a Sea Swing stove, for a table or for something else?
OK, one other question: It appears that you went the porta-potti route. Any regrets?

Scott,you are correct the bracket is for a Sea swing stove.As for the porta-potti ,no regrets after all these years.
Jim,just send me a check.Sirocco is now and always up for sale for the right price.Of course if you want my slip in Annapolis its an extra 2000.00.
Sirocco saved up enough $$$$ over the winter to have new acrylic windows installed.Lets see if they last as long as the last ones did(lexan)
Steve,
I have replaced our windows twice in 23 yrs. and I have always used acrylic plexiglas. Seems like they hold up well for 3 or 4 yrs. and then start developing a few internal bubbles and crazing and then we change them out. I keep a new set at home stored in a cool place , with the protective paper on, ready to go. As I remember the cost has not been too bad. I did price lexan a few yrs. ago and it was quite a bit more money.
Did the lexan not hold up well for you?
Jim
The lexan lasted me 11 years,never did craze or bubble.Lexan seems to scratch very easy and starts to gets milky after about 5 or 6 years.Acrylic I am told holds up longer but is not as strong. I did increase the window thickness fom 3/16 to 1/4 inch.
I certainly agree with 1/4 inch; that is what we use. I think all in all that acrylic is a good choice. I always wet the surface down before I clean the lites and it seems to somewhat limit scratches caused by cleaning.
