She is the sixth generation member of the Hodgdon family to work at the company and for the past two years has been the marketing manager.

Audrey will be based in East Boothbay at the company's headquarters where she will focus on accelerating Hodgdon's presence in the custom sail and power boat market, as well as increasing the Superyacht tenders division.

"I have seen first-hand and understand the attention to detail that goes into Hodgdon built boats," said Audrey. "I'm looking forward to having a more direct impact on our continued success by strengthening relationships with both potential and existing clients and playing an active role in the company's future."
