The crew head has a stall shower, sink, and electric toilet. The port crew cabin has a double lower berth and a single upper berth. The starboard crew cabin has a large single berth. Both cabins have ample storage space. Aft of the crew cabins is the galley with a crew dinette to starboard seating four.
Main Saloon : Next aft is the raised saloon, with six large windows providing plenty of light and great visibility. Two windows port and starboard are opening, providing cross ventilation. An L-shaped settee is to port. The large varnished hi-lo table can seat eight for dinner, or, when lowered, serves as an attractive cocktail table. Drawer storage in the saloon has been redesigned and reconfigured for custom china and cutlery storage. The entertainment center is aft to port, and equipment is described below. A lounge area is starboard, and has a settee and full wet bar with sink, refrigerator, and custom glass and bottle storage. Next aft to starboard is the navigation station.

Master Stateroom: All the way aft is the full width master stateroom, with a queen sized bed to starboard, and to port a three-quarter bed and settee. The forward facing desk is at the bulkhead. Very good storage space is provided by drawers, shelves, and hanging lockers. At the aft end of this cabin is the master bath port and starboard, with a passageway between leading to the aft cockpit. The port side has a large shower compartment with seat and a basin, and the starboard side has another basin, and an electric toilet. The large cockpit hatch provides excellent ventilation.
Cockpit: The center steering cockpit is large and very comfortable, and is accessed from deck both port and starboard. The canvas dodger and bimini provide protection for the entire area. To starboard is a refrigerator/freezer for drinks; to port is the protected helm. The large centerline drop-leaf table can seat up to eight for dining. Settees port and starboard in this cockpit have been widened for more comfortable seating, and also to accommodate outdoor sleeping. The second steering wheel is aft of the table, so the helmsman can have contact with guests. Recessed into the aft deck, the aft owner's cockpit is very private, and has settees port and starboard, with a filler to allow a double bed for outdoor sleeping or sun bathing.

Sails & Rigging
Cutter rigged, with Hood hydraulic furling: in mast on the main, and roller furling on the head sail. Rod rigging and the hydraulic backstay are by Navtec, and most deck gear is by Harken. In 2009 the mast, boom, spreaders, and spinnaker pole underwent a complete refit. The entire rig was painted with Awlgrip "Fleet White", all electrical wiring was replaced along with the two aluminum conduits being re-fastened to the mast. The sheaves were turned on a lathe and then hardcoat anodized. The stainless chafe plates on the entrance and exit slots in the mast were replaced. The seven light fixtures were installed new. All of the -48 and -60 Navtec Nitronic 50 rod rigging was replaced including new 150 K-150 mast tangs. The bronze bottle screws in the turnbuckles were replaced. All of the running rigging was replaced. The 20- Navtec Nitronic 50 rod in the main sailfurling foil was replaced. New doublers in the base of the mast were inssstalled.

Deck & Hull
The hull is strongly built in fiberglass with an Airex core above the waterline, except in higher stress areas such as engine beds, through hulls, rudder post, etc., where it is solid fiberglass. The deck is fiberglass with a Balsa and marine ply core, and is finished in moondust Awlgrip (2016). The solid glass rub rail is integrally molded, and the main centerboard is fiberglass with a bronze shoe. Trimming centerboard aft is solid bronze.
All deck hardware including pulpits, stanchions, chocks, Dorade guards, cleats, tracks, bimini and dodger frames were replaced and upgraded to 316 stainless. In 1996 & 2013, Ares underwent an epoxy coating on the bottom to prevent blisters.
The spring refit in 2014 included rebuilding the main centerboard tackle. This included fabrication of a new S/S centerboard trunk cap, pennant, and S/S compression tube. All of the sheaves were removed and serviced. Before going back into the water, the bottom was sandblasted, barrier coated and painted (2014).
