Peter Kermond, Burnham Boat: Head of the Charles 2023
Manage episode 381863145 series 2836290
It was 50 years ago today - Peter Kermond started rowing at Belmont Hill prep school, directly across from the site of our interview near Eliot Bridge on the Charles River in Boston. Peter is a beloved legend in rowing - making the US National Team and eventually acquiring Burnham Boat Slings, maker of the slings that rowers rack their boats on at regattas. Now, Burnham's flagship products are their custom made boat covers, and they've added on many other types of rowing accessories, from oar bags to water bottle holders. And Peter has not stopped rowing, competing at most regattas in between shifts at his vendor tent, which attracts a steady stream of colleagues, friends, and customers, ready to chat about all things rowing.
