He had to abandon an anticipated career in the British Navy due to an illness, and instead became a renowned sailor and boat builder. At the onset of World War II he was accepted as a member of Royal Naval Reserve, and was eventually promoted to lieutenant commander and appointed as captain of a gunboat patrolling the English Channel. He then returned to boat building and became an expert in the Firefly dinghy. He was considered for the 1948 Olympic team in this boat class, and was selected in 1952, when he won a silver medal ahead the Swedish boat designer Rickard Sarby. After that Currey designed and sailed other types of dinghies, as well as powerboats. In the 1960 he was appointed as managing director of the Fairey Marine company, where he worked for the past decades.{{When|date=March 2017}} His son Alistair Currey also became an Olympic sailor.[2] References{{Commons category|Charles Currey}}1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article7135285.ece|title=Charles Currey: Olympic yachtsman and boatbuilder|date=25 May 2010|work=timesonline.co.uk|access-date=9 June 2010}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Currey, Charles}}{{UK-Olympic-medalist-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/cu/charles-currey-1.html |title=Charles Currey |publisher=Sports-reference.com |access-date=5 June 2010 }} 10 : 1916 births|2010 deaths|Olympic silver medallists for Great Britain|Sailors at the 1952 Summer Olympics – Finn|Olympic sailors of Great Britain|British male sailors (sport)|British sailors|Olympic medalists in sailing|Place of birth missing|Medalists at the 1952 Summer Olympics |
