became interested in rowing over twenty years ago. I was sitting on a sailboat
in Marblehead Harbor when a fellow in an Alden Ocean Shell rowed by. I
jumped into my dingy and tried unsuccessfully to catch up to him. After
finding out what I was chasing was an Alden Ocean Shell, I went to Maine
and bought a Kittery Skiff kit from Arthur Martin, founder of Martin Marine
Company. I built the boat and with a pair of borrowed oars I started in
a sport that has changed my life. I was quickly hooked on rowing and became
a believer in the future of this great sport. I went back to Arthur and
asked if I could represent Alden and rowing in my area. He didn't say yes
right away but made me row with him. When we returned to the boathouse
he said I could represent Alden. I started with one Alden Single ( now
the Alden 16) , one Oarmaster and one pair of oars. When I sold enough
boats I bought two of everything, then three. That was twenty years ago
and a lot of rowing lessons and miles under the "skeg". I'm still in the
" old boat barn" outside Boston MA and now on the web with Alden telling
people what a great sport rowing is and what great boats the Aldens are.
