PETER HARKEN (USA)|
| | Nomination |
The stories are legion, the
jokes largely unrepeatable,
family, friends and staff at
Harken would go to the wall
for him. The hounds that he
encourages owners to bring to work adore
him. As do so many others in the sport who
grew up alongside him and Olaf. On the
occasion of Peter handing over the reigns
of the uniquely friendly and successful
business he founded with Olaf 53 years
ago there is no one our team has ever
wanted to nominate more (PS Sorry, Peter!)

| Why they won |
| Peter being represented here by
Mac, back from custody (again).
‘Finest men to ever touch the
sea and lakes – Peter and Olaf –
Go Peter Go!’ – Cam Lewis; ‘One
of a kind. They broke the mould’
– Jonathan Harley; ‘There is
nobody in our sport (or in our
parking lot) like Peter Harken.
But seeing as he’s just another
employee now, I don’t feel the
need to suck up to him. My
vote’s for Armel!’ – Bill Faude;
‘Simply the nicest person I have
ever met’ – Magnus Wheatley. |
