Done! Done! I’m on to the next one!* It’s Peter O’Callaghan, a man who doesn’t let it go to waste. All his life he’s been waiting for something and that something is 2023’s Wyfold Challenge Cup!
He’s Irish and he has no time for anything but a boat which moves fast. Need to know more? Well here’s Captain Ben on a rower who is almost as serious as him:
‘This is Peter’s second consecutive Henley campaign with Curlew. I’m not sure whether he’s happier to have pre-qualified, or just ecstatic not to be in the VIII+
Sat at two this year, I’ll definitely miss his Steve Smith/Rafael Nadal-esque routine, which somehow manages to take place in the seconds between ‘Attention’ and ‘Go’. Our steersman in the Wyfold crew soaks up pressure like a sponge!
Publicly, we’re glad he’s steering it because he’s the best person for the job. Privately, Nick, Fabien and I are buzzing that Ewan’s ‘steer from wherever’ mantra didn’t land on us.
Outside of the boat, you can find him dressed up as a pirate ☠️’
