1/2/2010 REVISED Notice: No buyer for Baileywick Company was found. Our 29 years of charter sailboat management out of Solomons came to an end December 1, 2009. The Rainbow 24 [Pot] was sold to a local buyer for private use. The Niagara 35 [Segel] was sold to a former timesharer and will be in the Solomons area over the winter. The Bailey home on Leasons Cove has been sold and the new owners took ownership on November 30, 2009. It is wonderful that they are also sailors and a 47' Alden will take Segel's place at the dock. All Baileywick customers have had their deposits returned. We are very sorry our loyal customers have had to find alternate sailing solutions. In spite of being profitable over the years, Baileywick has been more of a club of friends than a cut throat business. We will miss all of you!  The Baileys have moved to Emerald Heights, a continuing care retirement community in Redmond Washington and took residence on 12/30/2009. Why Washington State?  John was born and raised in Seattle, graduated from the University of Washington, son and family now live only 8 miles away, and daughter and family are only 4 hours drive away in Oregon. This website is being maintained for a while for reference purposes.

John and Donna Bailey moved to Redmond, Washington
Home is sold. Baileywick Sailboat Charters company has been closed
All boats have been sold

Overview: In 1986, John and Donna built their beautiful waterfront home in Lusby, MD. John is from Seattle and because our children and grandchildren are now located in the Pacific Northwest the plan is to sell our home and relocate to a continuing care retirement community in the Seattle area. This webpage shows our home and the two sailboats we use in our bareboat charter business [see Business below].

Home: Priced at $849,000. This is below Comparative Market Analysis pricing by two Realtors. On a per square foot basis, this home is $209 per sf compared to four local waterfront homes sold between October 2008 and June 2009 with sold prices between $230 - $298 per sf. We will pay 3 percent buyer's agent commission on selling price at settlement. 

The features of the home include:

bulletA 4,054 sq ft western red cedar home beautifully situated on a wooded 1.5 acre waterfront property on Leasons Cove only one mile by water from Solomons harbor entrance at Patuxent River. The floating dock has 6' mean low water depth.
bulletThis home is in Harbor Light Beach, a private tidewater community. It has an attached double garage with higher than standard doors for a van or pickup truck with cap. The upper garage area is additional storage and work area totaling 648 sq ft.
bulletMain floor has the living room, kitchen, dining room, family room, master bedroom with walk in closet, a bedroom/office with closet, two full baths and large laundry/pantry/storage room with freezer. Cathedral ceilings throughout. All appliances are upgraded and convey.
bulletLower level has a living/family/media room with attached storage room, two bedrooms, full bath, 2nd kitchen, dining area, workshop/storage room, and a screened porch. The lower level would be ideal as an extended family suite.
bulletLarge closets and extensive storage features give many options for hobby and business.
bulletVery efficient geothermal, zoned heat pump system results in low electrical costs and no outside compressor noise.
bulletThe property is bordered by a nature area frequented by blue heron, snowy white egrets, osprey, and many other bird species.
bulletTwo out buildings, one a 12' by 24' Mennonite built shed and the other 8' by 12', give additional protected housing for hobby and tools.
bulletLandscaped with flowering crape myrtles, azaleas, etc. Lawn has a zoned automatic sprinkler system.
bulletMost shopping needs are only 4 miles away--close enough, but not too close [Giant, Ace Hardware, many restaurants, Walgreens drugstore, etc.]
bulletDue to our downsizing in life style and living space, some furniture, tools, and other items can be included.

This is a special home! See the following photos

   
Floating dock is in protected Leasons Cove with 6' mean low water. Three boats are shown docked [Niagara 35, Rainbow 24, and SeaCat 21]. SeaCat was used for the picture.   Easy access to the dock by foot and vehicle. House lower level is 12 feet above mean high water [exempt from flood insurance]. The season cycles through daffodils, azaleas, and crepe myrtles. The lawn is an enjoyable half hour mow and has a zoned sprinkler system.
 
Living room [23'x19'] with hardwood floors has 2 built in bookcases & doors for access to the deck are on both sides. Because the window grills are easily removed, if your mood changes from traditional, you can quickly go modern.   Upper level deck surrounds the living room with a panoramic view of Leasons Cove. The hot tub is located on the very private wooded up stream side. There are comfortable stairs near the hot tub for access to ground level .
 
Open plan upstairs kitchen was upgraded in 2007 with Corian counters and appliances [new double oven, ceramic cook top, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, and hot tap]. Quality Quaker Maid 42" cabinets are deeper than most.    Side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, microwave oven, double self cleaning ovens with convection mode, and ceramic cook top are included in this upgraded kitchen with loads of storage space.
 
Dining room [14'x13'] is conveniently located between the kitchen, family room, and the living room.   Master bedroom [17'x16'] is on the nature area side. Pleated shades that provide darkness for sleeping are not needed for privacy.
 
Combined pantry [with freezer], laundry, storage room [23'x8'] is convenient to the kitchen. Front loading washer and dryer are raised for comfortable loading. Built-in laundry basket shelves are just beyond and hanging space is on the right.   Full apartment [grandmother/extended family] is downstairs with bath, 2 bedrooms, and a recreation room with direct connection to a large storage room and a ground level screened porch [29'x11'].
 
Recreation room [23'x18'] has a Vermont Castings wood burning controlled air heating stove. The exterior 'Winter View' shows the neatly stacked split oak for future use.   Screened porch [11'x29'] is a wonderful protected area for projects. The contraption on the wall is actually a rowing conversion kit for a laser sailboat that was sold. The kit is for sale!
 
Winter View [otherwise hard to see with summer leaves] shows over height double garage doors for van or pickup truck. Note NW chain saw carvings of a heron, eagle, and osprey on the walls. 648 sf win-dowed loft above the garage is easy access from house or garage.   Adjoining the property, just up stream, is a community owned nature area frequented by snowy white egrets, blue heron, osprey, ducks, and other birds. This photo of the egret and heron was at dusk from the living room deck.
 
Upper garage area for storage and work area of 648 sq ft. John is standing at the stairway [7 gentle stairs] down to the house level.   Garage upper level showing the easily opened 'barn door' [4' wide by 3.6' high] for easy disposal of things like cartons.

 

Buy the house and business, or just the house. It is a wonderful home. Wonderful location, and in first class condition

Baileywick Company Closed December 1, 2009

Business: We have significantly benefitted over the years by having the bareboat sailboat charter fleet at our home dock. The Baileywick Company sailboat business was established in December 1980 [www.baileywick.org]. There are currently two boats in the fleet, down from a high of eight in 1988. With only two boats, the use of the internet, and email, the business is easily managed with little time involved. Continuation of the business might make sense for a sailor wanting to have a small retirement business and still actively sail. Browse the tabs in the header above to get a good review of the Baileywick Company business. Some possibilities are:

bulletEstablish a new company with your identity.
bulletContinue use of internet and email communications for efficient management as the Baileys have done.
bulletOur website will redirect customers and prospects to your new website. The extensive email list provides efficient communication with current and prospective customers.
bulletOur good reputation for customer service and well equipped and maintained boats is a real asset.
bulletWe consider Baileywick Company a good value at $20,000, however, we will consider offers! This season is drawing to a close. Our current customers want to continue sailing Segel and need to make plans for the 2010 season. Purchase of the company includes customer lists, consultation on procedures, and website redirection.

 
Segel, a Hinterhoeller Niagara 35' has been a reliable workhorse for chartering. Rated by Practical Sailor [April 2009] in the top three of nine reviewed. Segel has had many convenience upgrades. SOLD   Pot of Gold, a Rainbow 24, is most likely the only one in the world with a bimini for sun/rain protection as you sail. Also equipped with a 5 hp Yamaha, GPS plotter, and VHF radio. She is well suited for less experienced sailors but is still fun for those more experienced. SOLD
 
This is the Baileywick sailboat charter fleet--Segel and Pot-of-Gold. The floating dock in protected cove is excellent for departing and returning to home base. Both boats are sold.   The SeaCat 21 is a catamaran powerboat with center console, bimini, zip on curtains for 3 sides, and nearly new, in warranty, twin Mercury 4 stroke 90 hp outboards with less than 70 engine hours. Sold.

Boats available for Purchase: All boats are equipped with Garmin GPS map systems. Both sailboats have roller furling genoas. Detailed equipment listings and inventory for each sailboat are available at the tab links in the above header. If not sold in conjunction with the sale of Baileywick Company, the following prices have been set for each boat.

bullet35' Niagara 35 sloop used in the Baileywick Company sailboat charter. Segel was featured in the April 2009 issue of Practical Sailor magazine [www.baileywick.org/PS0409_BR-Spur30s.pdf] "as a great value boat . . . a handsome, classically proportioned cruising sloop from one of the best builders of production boats in North America." The yacht was repowered in 1998 with a Yanmar 3GM30F diesel and has many other significant upgrades. The Niagara 35 was marine surveyed in April 2009 and the valuation was $41,000. SOLD.
bullet21' SeaCat catamaran powerboat has twin 90 hp, 4 stroke Mercury EFI outboards [new 2006, warranty valid through 1/18/2011 and transferable], and 2 axle trailer with new tires. The engines are fuel efficient, quiet, and smokeless with less than 100 engine hours. SeaCat 21 with trailer is valued at more than $30,000. SOLD.
