It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of “Doc” Ian Brown, who passed away on 26th March 2025.

Doc was a great friend to the club and its members and loved his Mirror sailing.

He will be sorely missed.

Here are some pictures of a wee expedition in the Pentlands on 19 February 2025, organised by Charles and Alison. We covered about 8 km (5 miles) in a little under 3 hours on this chilly, breezy February day.

There wasn’t a wet suit in sight but a glance at the car park saw that several members had opted to practise their van living skills in preparation for the new season.
