An abbreviated history of 'Snark type' boats in the US (from Meyers Boat Co. website):

LOCKLEY
- Boat business purchased from Siltronics of Oakmont, Pennsylvania in 1970
- Started out with one mold (Sea Devil / Sea Swinger) and hull covered with sprayed Eurethane
- Began vacuum forming ABS plastic on hull in 1973
- Sea Witch introduced to the market in 1974
- 1974 through 1984 the names of the existing boats were changed:
- Sea Swinger was renamed Suncatcher
- Sea Witch was renamed Sunchaser
- Sea Devil was renamed Sea Skimmer

SNARK
- Snark began as a product line of Kransco, a company located in San Francisco, California
- Snark was moved around the Eastern part of the United States during its early years (New Jersey, Indiana, and Virginia)
- Many variations of the Snark sailboat were introduced during the time it was located in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
- Companies such as Sears and JC Penney sold Snark sailboats (Super Snark/Mach II) in their catalogs.
- Snark sailboats were used as promotional tools for many companies with specialized colors and personalized sails.
 

- In the summer of 1984, Lockley purchased Snark from Kransco, and the new merged company was subsequently purchased by Entwistle of Hudson, Massachusettes
- The Snark name was continued to be used and production took place in New Castle, Pennsylvania
- Many of the Snark product lines became obsolete when the companies merged (see below)
- The new line of boats became the Super Snark, Sunflower 3.3, Sea Skimmer, Sunchaser I, and Sunchaser II. This is the current line being produced to this day
- In 1996, Snark was purchased by Meyers Boat Company and production was relocated to Adrian, Michigan. This is the current production location.
