Larking About has new owners: Warren & Sandra Schjonning. Last week we sailed her together to the York River, where they will berth her at the York River Yacht Haven. We enjoyed a three day introductory sail down the Chesapeake, anchoring in the Rhode River the first night, and the following evening in Smith Creek off the Potomac.
Happy sailing to Warren & Sandra aboard Larking About!

Proper care of the whole vessel has included:

- · Annual re-varnishing of soles and below-decks detailing

The above are the larger items: for a complete list of 80+
items that have been either added or refurbished, please see ”Non-standard
Equipment Specs” (see D. below) She comes with complete
history (also B. below) and for the new owner, a three-day introduction to her
equipment, maintenance and sailing.
She is in superb condition, both above and below decks. This past week many of our fellow sailors in
Spring Cove marina have stopped to admire: one told us she looked like new.

B. History
After commissioning her in Florida
in 1996 and sailing her there for a few months, in 1997 the original owner
Terry Eaton moved her to the fresh water of Lake Michigan. She was docked at
Eldeans Marina in Holland MI for the summer months, and for the winters she was
stored indoors in a heated hanger.
John Knight purchased her in
October 1999, and left her in the heated hangar in Holland MI until April 2000,
when Eldeans expertly packed her and she was trucked to Rock Hall MD. She had
just 120 hours on her engine, and was in like new condition. Her anchor had
never been off the bow: she was virtually unused.
From 2000 to 2005 she was lightly
used in the summer months only on the Chesapeake, and was stored on the hard in
Rock Hall MD for the winter. In 2003 her mast was pulled and the standing
rigging inspected, masthead lights replaced, and the furling system checked.
During 2004 and 2005 she was prepared for offshore, and in November 2005 John
sailed her with three crew from Norfolk VA to Virgin Gorda BVI (in less than
nine days.) She then spent winters in the Caribbean and was put on the hard in
the Chesapeake in the summers, until 2011, when she returned via Bermuda to go
on the hard in Summit North DE to have her hull professionally sodablasted by
Chris Stafford (galeforcesodablasting.com.) 14 years of accumulated ablative coatings had
built up and John decided it was time to give her hull a fresh start. The
removal of the paint revealed a completely clean hull, free of any blisters or
defects.
She has never been chartered.
She has travelled only with her
owner aboard, and she has never been sailed over-canvassed.
She has never suffered any docking
damage, and has never had water above her bilge sump.
C. Delivery.
She is titled in Maryland, and is
presently docked in the Chesapeake. John
will be available as needed to assist her new owner to move her to any port between
Brunswick GA and Portland ME.
