s/v Begone

"Begone" is a 37' Frans Maas designed and Holland built sloop in 1961, Her major restoration was completed in 2005 and she then cruised the Sea of Cortez. In 2015 we sailed her to Hawaii, the Pacific Northwest and back home to San Francisco Bay.

We are delighted to say that Begone has found her new caretakers for her next adventure!

Splashing Begone - 03 January 2011

Last Monday (Jan. 3), Begone was up in the work yard at Marina Seca (Dry Marina). At 0730 crew of 4 with walkie-talkies and a big ‘ole Caterpillar tractor pushing a 50’ hydraulic trailer pulled up to Begone, carefully lifted her on to the trailer and (this was the amazing part), drove her down the lane and made a right turn onto the busiest road in San Carlos taking her to the launch ramp about ½ mile away. Quite a sight to see!

s/v Begone
Suzanne and Tom List started our adventure on "Begone" in December 2010 after purchasing her from our dear friends who cruised her in Mexico after completing her major restoration in 2005.

We spent the winter months in Mexico sailing her in the Sea of Cortez, and over to the mainland to La Cruz, Puerto Vallarta, San Blas and Mazatlan, Mexico.

In 2015, Tom, Suzanne and their friend/neighbor Vicky Oswald, sailed Begone from San Carlos-La Paz, MX over to Hawaii and then to the Pacific Northwest. We sailed her home to the San Francisco Bay after this 6 month, 6300 mile adventure!

About the boat: "Begone" is a 37' steel hull sloop designed and originally built in 1961 in Holland by Frans Maas for the Fastnet Race. She underwent a major restoration in 2005 and has proven to be a wonderful cruising boat!
