Biography

Peter Gray was an Irish sailor and bank manager. Gray worked for his local branch of Ulster Bank in Dún Laoghaire where he became the branch manager. Gray later worked for the bank’s headquarters in Dublin as a director. The steady job allowed Gray to take up sailing in his spare time. Along with Johnny Hooper, Gray competed in the two-person dinghy at the 1960 Roma Olympics, with the pair finishing in 10th place. Gray became the Honorary Treasurer of the Olympic Council of Ireland in 1973.
