Martin Woodward on Sailing

Lisa: You obviously know these waters very well.

Well, I like to think I do. I mean I’ve been on them and under them (laughs) for the last 50 years. Well more that 50 years because even as a kid I knew this area really well and I was always out on the Ledges and I had my own little dingy and when I wasn’t working with Peter Smith on his boats and the Lifeboat, I was out in my own boat you know from the age of well, 12 years old and angling, fishing, lobstering.

Even taught people to row. People that come on holiday here, when I was 14, I was teaching people to row and had to row and skull and things like that.
