RIP Bruce Kirby

[jssailem]

A self taught yacht designer created the venerable Olympic sail boat “the Laser”.
Many of us owe our early sail learning to sailing on a Laser. So fast. So unforgiving.

Thank you Bruce. We never knew each other but I admired your boat and enjoyed many days of fun on your creation.
Thank you.
Fair winds.
