I have some sad news, I found out this week that Mark Hammett has passed away.

Mark was an association member and our former association secretary.
He was a Capri-25 sailor and former member of the Wayzata Yacht Club (Wayzata, MN)
He particpated in the 2011 Nationals Regatta hosted by Fleet-100 (WYC).

I will update this post when more details are available.

Here's a link to the announcement from Wayzata Yacht Club.

Mark Hammett, passionate sailboat racer and former member of Wayzata Yacht Club, has passed away in Arizona.
Owner of Capri 25 “Ham-It-Up!”, Mark was competitive in spirit, enthusiastic about welcoming new sailors to the sport, and a champion of encouraging women at the helm, especially his daughter, Corry, who started steering Ham-It-Up! at a young age, and continued throughout her high school years.
As a diabetic himself, Mark was especially passionate about supporting the ADA Regatta.

Mark is survived by his wife, Beverly, and his children, Corry, Aaron and Miles.
A service will be held later this month.

As passionate as Mark was about the sport, I have no doubt he is sailing in the heavens right now. Ahoy Matey!
