With some luck it will be an adventure.
So much is available: There’s fishing, including for oysters and crabs. Fishing piers are plentiful and popular up and down the bay, and deep-sea fishing ventures leave from Virginia Beach. It’s not unusual to see fishing boats anchored at nightfall near the two bridge-tunnels that connect the Lower Peninsula with South Hampton Roads, where Virginia Beach and its popular oceanfront lie along with the cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth.
If golf is your thing, the Williamsburg area alone has upwards of a dozen well-thought-of courses, both public and private. New Kent County alone has two of the best in the area — Stonehouse and Royal New Kent, where a couple of holes offer a view of the adjacent horse-racing track. In fact, why not watch a horse race? Colonial Downs in New Kent offers races through much of the year, including the prestigious Virginia Derby.
In the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, two peninsulas jut out into the bay. The Middle Peninsula, divided by its lower neighbor by the York River, comprises the counties of Gloucester, Middlesex and Mathews, which includes the tiny hamlet of Susan. There isn’t a single stoplight in Mathews County’s 85 square miles, but waterfront living is plentiful.
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge (commonly known as the Bay Bridge) crosses the bay at the northern end in Maryland. more
Like other sailboats, schooners are typically built out of wood in a handcrafted process that takes many hours and years of skill. The wood planks are glued and pressed together to create the hull shape, and then the vessel is waterproofed, primed, and painted before being put in the water. These vessels are then outfitted with masts and rigs to create the sail setup that designates them from other types of sailing vessels.
Some of the most iconic, masterful builders of schooner sailboats at present include: Custom, Schooner, Herreshoff, Alden and Covey Island. These builders may design schooner sailing vessels with secondary inboard, electric, inboard/outboard, outboard and other propulsion systems, available in diesel, electric, gas and other fuel systems. Over the past 30 days, the top, most-viewed brands for schooner sailing vessels on YachtWorld were Custom, Factoria Naval De Marin, Herreshoff, Royal Huisman and Schooner.
The schooner is a classic sailboat, by definition having at least two masts with the main master being longer than the foremast. Although most have only two masts, they can have three or more, depending on the setup. This boat offers a split-rig design that was popular for its speed and versatility when it first debuted in the early 18th century. These boats were preferred by privateers, pirates, and slave ship captains, historically. Today, they have largely been replaced by sloops and other more manageable rigs.
Upgraded sails, rigging gear, and performance sailing equipment are available for all kinds of sailboats, including older schooners for those who enjoy this classic design. Boaters can also purchase cabin accessories, seating, coolers, navigation and weather tracking systems, and other premium accessories and optional equipment to increase the functionality of an otherwise simple sailboat design. Premium marine stereos, radar systems, and fish finders are also available for schooners and other sailing vessels. more
