Peter belongs to: The Coble and Keelboat Society

Peter was brought up in Newcastle. His mother came from Seahouses and the family would holiday there. Peter's father made him a rowing boat when he was 11 and he spent his time in the harbour with his friends.

Peter was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 16 February 2006. The interview took place at Ouseburn Heritage Centre and lasted 14 minutes and 58 seconds.

Classic Boats

Hi Peter, I too have restored a classic boat, mine being a 1935 Lidgard 9.5 metre sloop. My folks came from England, interesting we may be related.
