Pico Results Spring 2010 now available at http://www.tbyc.org/pico-racing-2010/

It’s with regret to announce the passing away of Reg White. Thursday morning he played a round of golf, Thursday afternoon/evening he raced his brightlingsea One Design, just as he was steeping ashore he had a heart attack. He started his catamaran career with the Little America’s Cup and the ‘Lady Helmsman’ C-Class catamaran, the first boat with a wing sail to win a major trophy. Reg went on to become an Olympic Gold medalist in the Tornado (1976 Montreal) with crew John Osborn and also won world championships in 1976 and 1979. His East coast company have built some other famous cats like the Hurricane59, Shark, Dart 16, Dart Hawk F18, Spitfire and their last rocket, the Shockwave F18. Condolences to all the White family

I’m sure for all those that know him you will join me in wishing John Margarson Bon voyage and god speed.

We look forward to your safe return and the return party???.

For those that do not know John, he sailed his boat Fluffy, a Fgaro 1 to Plymouth a few weeks ago and is about to return to her to ready himself for his next Jester Challenge.

This  leaves Plymouth on the 23rd May 2010 across the Atlantic for Rhode Island USA. A  single handed challenge with no rules as such; and is for boats under 30ft.

The details of which are here:-  http://www.jesterinfo.org/

If you are interested once John is under way his position can be tracked at this website. (I checked it today and it looks like his been pacing round the house).
