In the mid1970s, the American fiberglass boatbuilding boom was in full swing, but it was also beginning to yield a homogenizing effect on design. Massproduction lines were turning out vessels that looked increasingly sterile, prompting one New Hampshire builder to rebel. Dissatisfied with what he famously termed "bleachbottle" hulls and interiors reminiscent of hospital wards, Jack Cogswell established the Mariner Yacht Company in East Rochester in 1976. His mission was to build a series of highquality cruisers that combined the structural advantages of modern fiberglass with the rich, warm wood joinery of traditional yacht construction. At the genesis of this boutique lineup was the Solution 28, a pocket cruiser designed by Peter Canning. Far from a generic production boat, the Solution 28 was conceived as a highly capable, beautifully finished coastal cruiser that stood as a direct alternative to the lightweight, plasticheavy racercruisers dominating the market of the era.
