Bob Gleason

Bob’s sailing career began at an early age. He started racing dinghies and keel boats at Tabor summer camp and Beverly Yacht Club on Buzzards Bay. He was captain of his high school sailing team then went to Tufts where he competed at the highest levels of intercollegiate sailing. After college Bob spent a year selling Hobie Cats, Windsurfers, and MacGregor 36s. He continued with Windsurfer International as East Coast sales rep. As Bob likes to explain it, he was a babe magnet and the windsurfing scene was the envy of all his friends. Fortunately for Bob, Jane Duff entered the picture, and some sense of direction was restored. He returned to Hobie Cat for the next five years selling not only beach cats, but Alpha sailboards and Holder monohulls. Throughout this ten year period, Bob remained very active in regatta racing and management. After leaving Hobie Cat, Bob started Corsair Marine of New England then joined with Bert Kornyei to form The Multihull Source, expanding the multihull lines and services.

The respect and renown that Bob has gained on the race course over the years is reflected in the success of TMS. Bob has won the Corsair Nationals six times in the last eight years, the coveted Corsair Cup twice, and the NEMA Season Trophy three times.

Bob lives in Wareham with his wife Jane and sons Gordon and Henry.
