I am very sad to hear the news. I am afraid that I haven't been in touch with Jon for quite a few years. I did not know that he was ill. I raced the Catapult for 6 seasons and acted as Jon's agent in Ireland. We were good friends over those years (I bought Alex's Lego collection for my eldest son, when Alex wanted to buy his first computer). We raced Round Sheppey and Nationals together. One year, we finished Sheppey within a boat lenght of each other in light wind, having chatted together for the final mile. My thoughs are with Sue and Alex.
