Owners Comments
"Arielle" was purchased by her present owner in 2021. A professional pre-purchase survey was carried out at the time, the surveyor commented "generally found to be in a sound and satisfactory condition with no major defects located. Hull, gear, machinery and equipment has been maintained to a good standard."
Her owner has since invested in new sails, stackpack, stainless steel standing rigging, navigation instruments & lights, gas check, anchor & chain, sprayhood, navigation lights and battery! She is an extremely clean and well presented example, currently ashore and ready for viewing at Titchmarsh Marina.
