Dreadful news - David didn't make it. Deepest sympathy for the Robinson family. David was a real character and great sailor - untouchable in the '85 nationals.

The BBC have just run a very well pitched piece on David as part of the lunchtime news on BBC South. I'd expect it to be run again at 18.25 tonight.
