Our Stolen Boat Akizuki II
by Lindsay Family

Pictured is Akizuki II as she looked before missing from the docks. Please keep your eyes and ears open to anything that might bring her home.

GREAT NEWS! Akizuki II was found on September 2nd around 8:30PM. The owner has not seen the boat as yet, but knows she's afloat. The police have a suspect in custody.

Dear Sailors,

Sometime between 9:30PM (EST) Sunday evening August 28th and 2:30PM (EST) Monday August 29th, our boat Akizuki II was stolen from Young's Boatyard, Jones Creek, off the Eastern end of the Patapsco River, Chesapeake Bay, MD. This is about 150 North of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and 50 South of the C&D canal.

We ask you to please keep an eye and ear open as we try to recover her, hopefully in one piece, and report any suspicious activity involving a boat meeting her description to the USCG or local marine police..

Following is a description which I encourage you to pass along to ALL your boating friends wherever they might be:

Name: Akizuki II (in Navy blue trimmed in gold on port and starboard rear quarter)

Homeport: Baltimore, MD (centered lower stern, below swim platform)

Description:37' Jeanneau Sun Odyssey, 2001 sloop

Color: White hull with Navy/gold trim below gunwale, Navy bootstripe, red bottom paint.

Hull Number: #436, engraved in hull immediately below gunwale on far aft starboard side

Sail Number: #93267 (on Genoa only) Navy sail cover, lazy jack system (std).

Distinguishing features:

  • Large 47" leather covered steering wheel (std is 35") w/Navy blue canvas cover

  • No dodger, but dodger frame on cabin top

  • Harken adjustable genoa car lead system (non-std)

  • Forespar whisker pole mounted on forward port stanchions in stanchion chocks off deck

    • Documented with USCG (no MD registration numbers): #1116967. Maryland FY06 orange stickers, on port and starboard sides of the mast a couple of feet above the cabin top.

    Of course by now we expect the boat to be well up or down the bay if being taken out and name, homeport changed or obscured, but that is worth noting as well. USCG and Maryland DNR police as well as local police have this report and are on the lookout.

    Please contact me immediately if you have any information that might be connected to our boat's disappearance.

    Thanks in advance for your help...we miss her already.

    Please contact Tim or Jane Lindsay at lind436@comcast.net for any information regarding our boat.
