I have the sad and unfortunate duty to report the passing of another member of MYC.
Dave Smith, owner of "Iris", a Moody yacht, was a popular member at MYC and a neighbour of ours on the new pontoon scheme.
The "fit-as-a-butcher's-dog" decription of Dave was apt as he was a keen hill walker and worked out in gymnasium regularly - indeed it was in the gym that he collapsed and died two days ago.
In the summer just gone, I took Dave out for a run on Coney Island and I also took his wife Anne and her friends out to view the yacht races at the regatta. She said she always wanted to be a "hooligan motorboater" and weave in and out of the yachts (don't worry, I never did it) just to annoy them!
Dave had a great time at the regatta in the coracle races (which were just organised lunacy!) and was always up for a challenge. Another accomplished sailor that I - and indeed anyone else - could learn lots from.
Once again, here is another member and friend who I, along with many others, will miss.
My condolances go to Anne, his family and all others that knew him.
