Former member Jerry Smith. 9 March 1939 - 18 February 2018
Posted: Monday, 26 February, 2018
Jerry Smith and his young family joined the Yacht Club in 1973, when they moved to Whitstable. They brought with them a home-built Mirror dinghy, and Jerry was soon made Mirror Class Captain. He was an active member until 1978, when his work in shipping took him to a new career in New York. His children, Anna and Daniel, went on sailing the Mirror dinghy for many years and Jerry continued to visit the Club and the town on his frequent trips back to the UK.
Jerry died peacefully in Hudson, New York State, after a long period of illness, surrounded by his extensive family.
