Ray New
Ray was a well-loved and very respected member of the British Finn family, both at home and abroad. He worked tirelessly for the good of all members of the class - setting up, organising and running the highly successful U 23 programme and more recently as Treasurer of the BFA. Ray had a laser-like vision to pinpoint the issue that mattered, was always objective in his viewpoint and was generous with his advice. He also contributed his expertise behind the scenes for the World Masters – organising the shipping of boats to the Barbados event and masterminding the random seeding programme to select balanced fleets for each day’s racing.
Ray leaves his wife Barbara plus his Finn sailor son Russell and his family. Very much a family man, Ray could often be found acting as mentor and trolley dolly supporting his Granddaughter racing her Optimist.
Sail on Ray, we will all miss you greatly…
