Mark Schleckser
Mark was an avid, passionate, and skilled competitive sailor. He loved sailboat racing and won many national and local Championships. These included seven Hobie 16’ and fourteen B-Cat Championships as part of the Barnegat Yacht Racing Association. Mark was a proud representative of LYC racing. He was inducted into the Barnegat Bay Sailing Hall of Fame, Class of 2012.
