Below decks are three spacious Staterooms with two and a half Heads. The full width centerline Master takes advantage of the widest part of the vessel. The spacious Engine Room is accessed via a hatch in the Aft Deck sole. A dedicated Crew Cabin is accessed via a hinged door in the transom. Top all of these amenities with a large Flybridge with a portside wing station and room for a crowd.

Construction Details
The boat is a composite construction using Kevlar Hybrid materials for superior strength and puncture resistance. Six longitudinal foam stringers and 20 transverse foam stringers enclosed with stitched woven roving, reinforce the entire hull bottom. The hull sides are cored. The engine stringers run from stern to bow with steel top plates for engine mounting. The Deep (19.5 degrees) Vee Hull has been designed to ensure a vessel with excellent sea keep qualities. Special attention has been given to a ratio between installed power, speed and fuel consumption. Two layers of Interlux 2000E primer beneath the bottom paint.
Exclusions
While every effort was made to list all pertinent included equipment aboard ARIEL, there are some personal belongings aboard. Prospective purchasers should assume any item not specifically mentioned herein will not convey at closing.
Notes
Yard visit October 2021 with 2 coats of Sea Hawk Cukote and Prop speed on the running gear. The hydraulic swim platform was serviced as needed at that time.
Remarks
Custom built by her current owner, ARIEL was speced out with many additional upgrades. These include extra joinery in lieu of vinyl, extra portholes including opening ports in showers, the Crew Cabin upgrade and Galley sole in cherry rather than bamboo.
She offers low hours on her main engines and is for sale by an owner wishing to move down in size.
Actual LOA is 65’ 9”.
