It is with deep regret and sadness that I have to inform you all of the passing of one of our members, our friend Paul Redd<\/strong>. You will remember Paul as a warm, charming, fun and witty Commodore and a popular committee member for may years. He passed peacefully at home on Sunday 30th October with his wife Denise, children and sister by his side.

<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Paul has been a great friend and sailing buddy for many years as can be seen from the attached photos. South and East Coast Rallies to Cherbourg and Ostend, taking part in the 24hr RNLI charity race around Fairlands lake, competing in the Round the Island race a number of times on hired Sunsail boats and later on his own yacht Moondance.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Paul felt well in June but gradually began to loose weight. He thought this was due to a change of lifestyle from working to being retired. In September he was admitted to hospital and found to have stomach cancer, already stage 4.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Tanya and I saw him three weeks ago at his home in Suffolk, he was very unwell but his humour was still with him, joking about life and death. We are sad to lose our friend and sailing companion, Paul will be sorely missed by his family and friends.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
We will all have so many great memories of Paul so please share these over the weeks ahead.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Our thoughts are with Paul\u2019s wife Denise and family.<\/div>\n

When a sailor has died they can be honoured with the sounding of eight bells;
meaning “end of the watch”.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
