29 Sep Pete Vincent – the “Dinghy Racing Legend”!
Have you ever wondered how the owner and founder of West Country Boat Repairs, Pete Vincent got into sailing and then the boat repair business, which he repairs he loves (and loaths) and his take on ‘bodge jobs’!
You may have seen that he sponsors the RS200 SW Ugly Tour and if you know him personally, you’ll know he happily goes by the name Ugly – but why?
Hear tales of his increasingly popular Dinghy Repair Workshops, you might be surprised how soon trainees get stuck into serious repairs and build the competence to carry out modest repairs themselves.
Mark Foley interviews the ‘Dinghy Racing Legend’ in his podcast dinghy series.
He asks Pete about his sailing experiences, his favourite venues and memorable races.
It’s a tale full of amusing anecdotes and a few snippets of useful information, I’ll admit I was sceptical when he sent it to me, but there really is something for everyone – not least the tips on how to value your boat for insurance purposes, and some very good advice about how to claim.
