ARIEL II is a 46-foot
Power Cruiser designed by Sidney Herreshoff and built in 1931.
The owner’s desire was to maintain the authenticity of design,
feel, and function while incorporating unseen modern
conveniences including electronics, hot water, refrigeration,
and climate control. Her rebuild was completed in 2003. ARIEL II
hails from New Bedford, MA.
Look Familiar? Ariel II was a Wooden Boat calendar girl in
2006.
