Description
Ariel is an incredible example of the classic Tartan 37. Having only been sailed in Lake Erie her freshwater life has helped preserve her original condition. Not only is both the interior and exterior in excellent condition but has seen numerous upgrades over the past yeas as noted below. Most notably, all new running and standing rigging. Her centerboard also allows her to voyage into areas most boats of her size wouldn't be able to.
Being a Sparkman & Stevens design Ariel’s performance matches her classic looks, impressive. Down below you can find a V-berth to forward with a head right aft along the port side. In the salon there is a dinette with a fold down table to port and to starboard there is a settee and a pilot berth. Aft you will find the galley to starboard and the nav station and double quarter berth.
