Overview

Alan Hardy was born and raised in Liverpool. He was introduced to the Liverpool docks by his grandfather at a very early age and on leaving school, became a marine underwriter, firstly in Liverpool and later in London. His family connection with the sea goes back even further with a relative lost at sea, having fallen from the cro’jack yard of the clipper ship ‘Slieve Roe’ whilst on a trip from Canada around Cape Horn in early 1908. Alan’s love of the sea resulted in him purchasing his first sailing dinghy to sail at West Kirby, just after getting married (and before they had a stair carpet!!) and this led to joint ownership of a yacht which was moored at Pin Mill on the River Orwell in Suffolk.
