David Henshall informs me that Mike died on 28 December. Mike won the Burton and week points trophy in 1949 sailing N504 Wanton, one of the Holt 500's. I had the pleasure of meeting Mike at the Wraysbury Holt Centenary regatta and sailing Wanton. Pictures on Data Base. Mike was involved in various trials for Olympic dinghy design selection.
There is a good article today in Y & Y about him.
