We are sorry to report that Bill Raynham died on Wednesday 25-Oct-23.

He was a much loved character at the club, serving as Fireball Fleet captain, Vice Commodore from 1989 to 1991 and then Commodore from 1992 to 1994.

Many current and past members will remember his sense of fun and his friendly, helpful encouragement to sailors of all ages and interests – a fount of knowledge and advice.

Here is a very personal tribute from his long time sailing buddy and friend George Simpkins.

Funeral is confirmed 30-Nov-23 at 14.30 at Weston Crematorium and afterwards at the Ebdon Arms, Jeannine wants people to wear bright clothes.
