Ariel of Victoria

In Festival Boats 2024

Carvel-planked in Alaskan yellow cedar on oak frames, Ariel of Victoria was built by Fred Peterson and Ron Hunt in Peterson’s shipyard near Nanaimo. Her ketch rig features original sitka spruce masts & booms. She has been a liveaboard vessel since launch and cruised extensively. Her current owners are 15 years into a major restoration and systems upgrade, pausing regularly to go sailing.
