Graeme was widely known and respected through Nelson, and the NZ sailing community. A delightful man, he led his crew on amazing races, and challenges and always provided a colorful sights, Fruition, waves white at the bow, large spinnacker flying as she was guided through through The Cut, guided by Graeme,giving shore folk and sailors alike a spectacle. Sadly missed, our thoughs are with you Stefanie and family.
Bonne voyage Graeme..
