Maybe Peter Duck had never met any female captains, mates, etc. until he met the Swallows and Amazons - particularly Nancy. Now that he had, he was willing to accept their suitability to fill those roles. I can't see his putting his daughters into those roles, either. They were just fellow sailors with him.
