Retiring from active sailing

[John Ball]

After 65 years of sailing including the last 20 years of racing IOMs, it's time for me to retire from active sailing.

I have sold my lovely Vickers V8 and am no longer a registered/certificated IOM owner. So I will no longer be participating in class discussions, nor voting on class matters.

I will keep my interest in the racing rules and participation in forums on RRS discussions and continue to maintain my Racing Rules and Tactics web site.

I have a number of cherished friends around the world from my IOM sailing and I wish you all the very best and thank you for your help and advice.

Fair Winds and following seas - Thank you all
