Murrays Bay Sailing Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Keith Elliott - a true stalwart of dinghy sailing in NZ. Keith will be remembered by each and every one of our members, whether by way of their Keith Elliott built dinghy or advice or the sale of gear from Keith and Kathie from their SailOne store or iconic van at regattas around the country.

Thank you Keith for your contribution to our sport and we will miss you in the boat park.

Sincere condolences to Kathie and the entire Elliott family.
