[size=3]It is a great mod, I love mine. :) [/size]
[size=3]Just a note on this. Don't undersize the cleats you use for this. Mine is done with 3 1/2" marine ply(high strength, lots of epoxy(?)in the wood). It originally set on 1/2" quarter round oak cleats. It is very easy when going below to step on the corner of one of the boards and your entire weight be placed on a few inches of these cleats (especaly if you are on the hook and the boat is rocking).[/size]
[size=3]I have replaced the 1/2" quarter round with teak strips 5/8" by 1 1/2" that are screwed into the seat cushion fiddles with a dozen or so #10 brass screws.<O:p[/size]
[size=3]If this is confusing, I will post a picture.[/size]
Revival goes free. CHEERS!
What a life, Frank! Cold brew and a hot bird, yeah!
Some folks get what they deserve. At a loss for words,
here's a couple quotes:
"Let your life be light, packed with only what you need - a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink, for thirst is a dangerous thing." Jerome K. Jerome
"Seamen three! What men be ye?
Gotham's three Wise Men we be.
Whither in your bowl so free?
To rake the moon from out the sea.
The bowl goes trim, the moon doth shine.
And our ballast is old wine." T.L. Peacock
"Here's to the corkscrew - a useful key to unlock the storehouse of wit, the treasury of laughter, the front door of fellowship and the gate of pleasant folly." W.E.P. French
"During one of my treks through Afghanistan, we lost our corkscrew. We were compelled to live on food and water for several days." Cuthbert J. Twillie
(WCFields, 1940, My Little Chickadee) :D

where is it hauled out?? I hope it aint in hurricaine land.I hopes to be getting "starcrest seven" with in the next year.I am specifically looking for another ariel---maybe my former one.that will keep me out of skydiving to my parents relief.....but then theres a whole ocean as of yet for me to continue to explore.I hope you didnt find the the unabridged version of the recent newsletter accounting of my five year "tragic to magic"history on my ariel to racey or audastic-----but they did an excellent job in recounting my true-tell -all life on that boat. I warned the association top brass beforehand that it was not for the young to read.you had to know the beginning to understand just how fantastic it was. of all the sailing I ever did---it was on that boat that I had the most memorable times.
