Passing of former ICAA member

Published Fri 26 Sep 2025

Hi Geoff

It is with sad that I must report the death of Ian Macpherson, from Scotland but with family connections in Melbourne. Ian was a member of the ICAA in the late eighties and early nineties, taking part in several Australian Championships.

Seth and I became close friends with Ian and Christine during the Steinhudermeer World Series in Germany in 1990.

At home Ian sailed on Loch Lomond, also home to a number of beautifully built timber IC’s from the later 19th century, stored in the loft of the club building.

A lecturer in Industrial Design, Ian added appreciation of aesthetics to the Australian fleet. Ian’s and Christine’s social contribution to our group was welcome and considerable.

He will be missed.

 

Thanks 

Tim
