Peder Lunde senior
Peder Eugen Lunde (born May 25, 1918 - December 26, 2009 ) was a Norwegian sailor who won an Olympic silver medal in 1952.
The son of Olympic champion Eugen Lunde grew up on the island of Ormøya near Oslo and learned to sail at an early age. From 1936 he sailed with Vibeke , his future wife. At the 1952 Olympic Games , Peder Lunde, Vibeke Lunde and their brother Børre Falkum-Hansen sailed the yacht Encore in the 5.5-meter class . Orvar Larsen had actually bought the yacht for his son, who was still too young to take part in the Olympics. On the regatta course off Helsinki , the crew came second four times, fourth once and fifth once, which was enough to win the silver medal behind the US yacht Complex II in the end.
Peder and Vibekes son Peder became Olympic champion in 1960.
