My good friend Curt has put his beautiful ANNIE, a drascombe longboat cruiser that he had custom built, on the market. I can't imagine this is easy for him to do but life changes makes this a necessary move.
I've had the pleasure of sailing on board ANNIE and also alongside of her on more than a few cruises. Nothing brightened a morning more that waking up on a creek somewhere and looking out the boom tent to see the boat with the green hull and tanbark sails anchored nearby. Swan Creek, Oriental, Mouse Harbor, Tangier Island, Chestertown and Langford Creek are some of the places where ANNIE and SPARTINA have crossed paths.
