You can read more about the San Juan 21 and the history of the Clark Boat Company in Mike Robinson's article " San Juan Sailboats and Clark Boat Company: The Right Place at the Right Time." The Present By 1974, the Mark II model was put into production and more than 2,700 San Juan 21s were subsequently produced by the late 1980s. In 1971, the Mark I model was produced in Seattle and an additional facility in New Bern, North Carolina. This boat featured a bigger V-berth, an easily stepped rig, and a fully retractable swing keel and kickup rudder. They decide to design a boat superior to others in this niche, the San Juan 21. In the late 60s, it became apparent to the Clarks that there was a niche in the boat market for a lightweight, trailer-based design that could be daysailed and used as a week-end cruiser. The boat itself is a product of the Seattle-based Clark Boat Company, operated by Bob and Carole Clark and sons. In 1971, the San Juan 21 Class Association was formed in Seattle, Washington.
