John joined Brooklin Boat Yard in 2004. Using his expertise and experience in used boat brokerage sales he established a successful used boat brokerage operation. Also, in 2004 John started the development of a racing program for the Brooklin Boat Yard built 76’ Spirit of Tradition Goshawk resulting in podium finishes in the 2005 Marblehead to Halifax Race, the 2006 Newport to Bermuda Race and equally impressive performances in classic yacht regattas here in Maine and Southern New England.
John continues to race in local mixed fleet races and Classic Yacht Regattas mostly on boats built by Brooklin Boat Yard and notably as “the world’s oldest bowman” on the Brooklin Boat Yard built Eggemoggin 47 Lynnette from 2013 to 2021 and occasional guest appearances on sister-ship Lark.
Today, John continues to manage and expand the brokerage operation but can just as likely be seen out in the yard or on the water helping the rigging and yard crews in the busy Spring and Fall launching and hauling seasons.
