Sincere condolences to Anne, Marc and John Hall for the passing away of their father and MYC founding member Bruce Hall. Bruce Hall was most respected in the sailing community and loved his Mornington Yacht Club. He began at Mornington Yacht Club at a time when he was Commodore at Frankston Yacht Club and owned and sailed a "Rose" class 22 ft sloop called Rose Marie. This was his courting boat and married his wife Pamela soon after. At Mornington Yacht Club he was an extremely active member as Rear Commodore and Sailing Committee with roles which included "Course Setting" and "Handicapping". His son John advised that Handicapping "drove him nuts".
Bruce is well remembered for the boats he owned including
I am sure many MYC members have fond memories of Bruce.
