The death has occurred of Rosemary Doorly long time member of the RStGYC and a successful sailor in both the IDRA 14 and Glen Classes with her husband, John.
With many successes on Dublin Bay, the highlight of their career was winning the IDRA National Championships in 1974 in Dunmore East.
They also travelled abroad when an IDRA 14 group represented Ireland in a team racing event in the '70s at New York's Larchmont Yacht Club.
Rosemary was also instrumental in setting up and running the Junior section at Bray Sailing Club when her children were introduced to sailing, including Michael and Chris, who are well known in the waterfront clubs in Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
Her family and friends in sailing will miss her.
