It is with much sadness that we report the death of Donald Acklam. Donald built a number of N12's in his time, and more recently has helped keep some of our older boats afloat and racing (rather than on bonfires) through his skills and advice.
Donald was a great character whose gruff exterior hid a heart of gold and a willingness to use his great skills to repair just about anything. He will be greatly missed especially by his fellow Yeadon members and the wider northern area National 12 community.
He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
