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.

St Mary’s club members visited Forfar Sailing and Watersports Club over the weekend of 28 and 29 September, and came away with some of the silverware. The club sails on Forfar Loch, a small area of water where the boats are always close together, the wind is never constant, there are often big windshifts, and patchy wind coverage. Sounds a lot like St Mary’s, apart from the size of the loch!
