I am very sad to inform everyone that Jonathan Abrahams (JKA) passed away today at Ysbyty Gwynedd. Jonathan was an accomplished sail maker, sailor and campaigned on many boats including his great success on the 1720, and helped enormously with racing in the bay, and helping all sailors with his sound advice, regarding sails and setup. Jonathan will be missed by all and we send our condolences to the family. Rest in peace
