It is with great regret that we note the death of Martin McCurrich (Magdalene, Cambridge 1952) some time ago – July 2016. Martin sailed against Oxford in 1954 (Lost) and 1955 (Won), and was elected a member of the Society in 1957. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant and moved to Sydney, Australia in 1961, where he had an illustrious career in finance, investment management, and insurance – as well as being active in local affairs. He remained a keen sailor, encouraging the adoption of the Laser at his local Club (Northbridge SC) and competing in the class for 20 years.
