Both the St John and wider Caribbean sailing community was saddened to hear of the death of Fletcher Pitts, who passed away on Christmas Day, aged 51. Fletcher was a popular local liveaboard and sailing instructor who founded the Coral Bay KATS program in 1988, thanks to which thousands of local sailors received their first taste of dinghy sailing. A memorial service was held on January 1 at Johnson’s Bay Beach, Coral Bay, St John.
