Our condolencses to the Hind family at the loss of Duncan. Like most local sailors, I relied on Duncan's sage advice. When we were transitioning from Blew Bye U, our C & C 25, to Obsession, our 33, Duncan had a client looking for a size 25 boat, and he bought ours. The first time winterizing Obsession, Duncan advised that I needed to have a winter cover made to protect the boat. Even though I protested, explaining it had not had a winter cover for years, I had one made and had to eventually admit that he was correct. On other occasions he repaired my spinnaker pole and re-threaded the outhaul on my boom. His usual kindness and generosity shone through as ALL these services were provided at no cost to me. Thank you Duncan, for all you did for everyone in the sailing community in Essex County. You will be sorely missed.
Sincerely, Bill Frank and Lee Anne Doyle
