I have received the sad news that Peter Petherbridge died peacefully at home on the 14th May. He was almost 75.
Peter sailed in Rakaia, Otaki and Remuera.
He had been a compass adjuster and examiner.
A celebration of his life will be at the Mapua Hall, in Mapua (near Nelson) at 14.00 on the 27th May and afterwards at the Mapua Boat Club.
