Saddened to read in PBO of the passing of Les Williams. I had the pleasure of knowing him in the 80s when, with a couple of other Southampton Ship Science students we helped him and his trusty lieutenant Jacques Redon to prepare his Ocean 80 FCF Challenger for the two handed round Britain race with Bob Fisher.
Les was a real trailblazer in ocean racing, one of the first to bring big bucks sponsorship to British offshore sailing.
