Biography
Phil Pidcock apprenticed with David Hilliard’s yard in Sussex before coming to Canada in 1969 where he started with McQueen’s, moving on to Grenfell, Celtic shipyards, and the B.C. Forest Service before going out on his own and working as an inde¬pendent shipwright. One of his projects was the restoration of the well-known cutter Cresset, a winner in the first years of this festival. In 1979, he and his wife Sandra bought Cove Yachts in Maple Bay. Over the past 30 years they have built Cove Yachts from one set of ways into a full service yard, developing a ster¬ling reputation in the wooden boat fraternity, for both commercial and yachts, hauling and doing complete repairs to boats up to 80 feet.
