Bringing Ariel Back To Life

It was love at first sight for Franz Hartstein when he saw Ariel, an old racing boat that was stuck at a port, slowly counting its days. The boat was infested with termites and was slowly rotting, but that didn’t stop Franz from purchasing it. He then embarked on a 7-year-long journey to slowly restore the boat to its former glory, all with the intention of finding out whether that boat can truly sail at the speed claimed by its maker. He joins us on the show to share his experience.
