+This 1991 custom aluminum centerboard sloop is for sale. Arbella is sleek, fast and incredibly strong. With two (nearly brand new) engines and twin rudders, she’s very maneuverable under power. The rugged aluminum centerboard gives her 11′ draft with the board down, and just 3′ 10″ draft with it up. The shape of the centerboard trunk allows the boat to sit upright comfortably, making it easy to beach the boat and let the tide go out.

+
+
+Arbella is currently located in Maine.
+
+
+
+Arbella was built in Fort Lauderdale and launched in 1991. The builder was a gifted welder, who ran a successful stainless steel and aluminum fabrication business. The boat was then motored to Venezuela, where the mast was rigged and interior work down. The next stop was Trinidad, where the builder/owner lived aboard with his wife and daughter, starting another metal fabrication business while continuing work on his boat.
+
+
+
+Plans change, as we all know, and the the owner and his family had to leave Trinidad, leaving the boat on the hard in a local boatyard where it stayed for three years. Before putting the boat back in the water we added new electronics, a rugged 12 volt system with new batteries, a 24vdc watermaker, new cushions, a dodger and bimini, a large hard bottom inflatable and 30hp Yamaha outboard and an Awlgrip paint job.
+
+
+
+When we launched the boat again in 2004 and rigged the sails, it was the first time the boat had ever been sailed. During the shakedown cruise from Trinidad to Maine the boat proved to be fast and comfortable.
+
+
+
+Since arriving in Maine Arbella has been given new engines and a new 8kw genset, extensive sound insulation, a vibration reducing propeller coupling with a rugged thrust bearing and high output alternators with a sophisticated regulator and battery management system.
+
+
+
+Hull and deck are welded 5086 aluminum plate. The hull is radius chined and faired. A bare aluminum rub rail allows the boat to lie against pilings or a wall without fenders.Hull plate thickness is 3/8″ at keel, 5/16″ from keel to waterline, and 1/4″for the deck and topsides.The boat is framed on 5′ centers and stringers are on 12″ centers. All framing is 6061 aluminum.
