Derek Priestley Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 So sorry and sad to hear of the passing of 2 of the Eastern District's gentleman sailors, Nicky Enion and David Perkins. I was fortunate to be able to welcome both of them to Fleetwood for National Championships. Nicky came for the 2017 Marblehead & 10r championship weekend and during the racing his phone fell out of his pocket into the lake. quick as a flash, Walshy ran to the clubhouse came back with a net, fished out the phone which still worked!! David came to the 2018 IOM Nationals and I learnt from him that he was a retired P&O cruise ship Captain. P & O being my wife & I's favourite cruise line David & I exchanged stories about their ships. I feel privileged to have known them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
