Contributing Editor: Peter Bass

Peter Bass, sleeping on watch.

Peter Bass is a Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors Contributing Editor who readily acknowledges that without MBH&H he would only be published in small metal stalls throughout America. While at Dartmouth College, he received two citations for outstanding work from the English Department while failing to get an A in either course, a Dartmouth record. One wonders what his grade was prior to those particular efforts.

A lifelong boat nut who has held serious jobs in the boatbuilding, footwear, and furniture industries, he dreams of writing full time, in spite of our recommendation that he keep his day job. He is currently employed as President of Maine Cottage Furniture, and lives in Freeport, Maine, with his lovely wife, Gail, and what he believes to be a cat named Carleton.

His work appears regularly in Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors and includes a video feature called "Boats I Like" in the Online Edition. He enjoys boating in all its forms and is pictured here sleeping on watch offshore in his Bristol 41.1, Skylark.
