Vale Ian Vickers
Radio Sailing across the world is mourning the loss of one of the true giants of our sport. Ian Vickers passed quietly in Auckland on Monday 4 May, with his family around him. Ian fought a brave but short battle with melanoma.
Please hop over to The ARYA website for touching tribute from Phil Pride.
The New Zealand Radio Yachting Association have set up a "Book of Rememberance" on their facebook page. If you wish, you may leave your memories and thoughts in the book and those messages will get to his loved ones.
RIP Ian. 19th May 1969 --- 4th May 2026.
