Mark is a founder of Boston BoatWorks. He spent much of his youth in an
old boat shop watching a septuagenarian build lobster boats. At 14 he
built a Sunfish and two years later won a Sunfish championship. He
studied architecture at the U of Penn and MIT and began his boat-building
career. One of the first to realize the strength-to-weight characteristic of
vacuum bagged epoxy, carbon fiber and Kevlar, he made boats lighter,
stronger and faster. His boats provided championships for many
competitors—including himself. With technological support from Sikorsky
Aircraft, DuPont and Hexcel Corporations, Mark pushed the envelope,
building many exotic yachts with storied naval architects and yachtsmen.
He provided specialized components for boats from Optimist prams to
America's Cup boats. He teaches boatbuilding to 9th graders, is chief
measurer for the Sonar Class, and Chairman of the Management
Committee for the New Hampshire Appalachian Mountain Club Camp.
