Doug Park

A Marblehead native, Doug Park grew up sailing around Marblehead and was officially introduced to the world of wooden boats as a student aboard the Harvey Gamage with The Ocean Classroom Foundation. While in high school, Doug spent summers apprenticing at Redds Pond, and deepened his love of boat building. During college summers he worked intermittently with Ocean Classroom and Manchester Marine. In 2009 Doug returned to boat building full time when he was accepted as a student at the International Yacht Restoration School. Upon graduation, Doug gained experience as a shipwright on the Charles W. Morgan restoration at Mystic Seaport where he developed period techniques to recreate the bow section of this historic ship. Doug bought Redds Pond Boatworks in 2011. He brings a wealth of experience and tireless enthusiasm to breathe new life into this iconic shop.
