The deep balanced full rudder allows a high degree of maneuverability, and the turning radius of the boat is tight.
Ariels continue to be a sought after boat because of their stout construction and kindly sailing ability.
The cockpit can comfortably accommodate 4-5 people, and the boat can sleep 4 adults below decks.

Has some of the wear and tear of a 1963 boat and could use a good cleaning.
