VALE ALLEN GEORGE WALTERS 12/11/1935-16/4/2021

It is with sadness that we acknowledge the death of Allen Walters, a Club member since 1985 and Vice Commodore of the Club from 1999-2002.

Allen also served the Club in the capacity as Chair of the Racing Association for several years.

He enjoyed his sailing and involvement with sailing, in particular his time as joint owner of Fleurieu Warrior which was housed on the hardstand at the Club for many years. Rest in peace Allen. Gay Footer

VALE RONALD CHARLES YEATES 13/10/1028-23/4/2021

It is inevitable that all good things must come to an end and of the death of Ronnie Yeates at the age of 92, this is particularly true.

Ron was a long-time member of the Club having joined in 1985 and he contributed so much to the Club in his capacity as a volunteer on the race start and duty boats, both CYC1 and CYC2. Not only did he crew on the boats but he spent endless hours working on them helping keep them in top shape.

His ready smile and happy demeanour will be sadly missed and our condolences go to his wife Edith and family at this time. Gay Footer
