Dear Members and Friends,
|
|
|
|
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Club Member, Lachlan Hatch.
|
Lachlan passed away suddenly on Sunday evening. In the last 18 months Lachlan endured a string of medical ailments which only a strong-willed man could face with such determination and good nature. He continued sailing during this period when his health permitted.
|
Since joining the club and purchasing Space Sailer 22 “Shakedown” in 2015, Lachlan was a regular and accomplished participant. He assembled a diverse, faithful and friendly crew who were always competitive and good humoured. They all shared a strong bond witnessed by them all in “crew hug” in the car park one evening after sailing.
|
Undoubtedly all members that knew Lachlan will be mourning his passing and sending their condolences to his wife Sue and son Matthew, friends and other family.
|
On behalf of the Flag Officers, Management Committee, staff, and Members we extend our sincere condolences.
|
We will notify members of funeral arrangements as they come to hand.
|
