Sad News - John Dutch

Post by Jenny Ball »

We were saddened to learn that John Dutch passed away recently following a short illness.

John was a keen cat sailor and long time member of Seasalter - a regular host venue for the fleet. In 1986, John bought his first Sprint - an old Spark which he sailed for many years until buying a new Techno boat in 1994. At which point he passed the Spark on to his 13 year old son Kevin, igniting his own love of cat sailing.

Our thoughts are with Kevin and family at this difficult time.


The family have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the RNLI in John's memory. If you would like to donate - the link his here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-of ... _6eDB2A5g0
