Mark Clarke (sailor)

Mark Clarke (1 October 1950 – 22 October 2013) was a Caymanian sailor. He competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics and the 1996 Summer Olympics.^[1] In 2013, Clarke went missing off the Cayman Islands in his boat, and his body was never found.^[2][3]

Clarke sailed for the British territory at the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992 and Atlanta in 1996. He has also won numerous national championships.[1]

Mark disappeared while on a solo fishing trip. He left Rackley's Canal in the North Sound area of the Caymans aboard his 25-foot boat “Badger.” The next day his empty boat was found wedged on a coral reef off Cayman Kai. The Joint Marine and Air Operations Units of the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) and local civilians carried out a comprehensive search of the area where the empty boat was found, but no sign of Clarke was found.[2]

Cayman Islands Olympic Committee President Donald McLean said the weather was "perfect" when Clarke disappeared.[3]
