The efficient L-galley, enclosed head, and full-size nav station create an inviting liveaboard or coastal cruiser layout. A modern self-tacking jib and 7/8 fractional rig make Ariel perfectly suited to short-handed sailing.Meticulously upgraded and professionally maintained, Ariel is a standout example of the Hanse 311, for fast, effortless cruising. Repowered, new rudder, and a freshly serviced rig, she’s a perfect Pacific Northwest cruiser for couples or families who appreciate quality and simplicity. Clean, dry, and turn key, Ariel is truly sail-away ready.
