Paul/Cruise Control

Post by Paul »

It is with a heavy heart I am passing on the news that Paul died unexpectedly on August 7, 2018.
Thank you to all members for sharing the love of all things Trojan with Paul through the years.
Sadly, we are considering the sale of Paul's much-loved boat.If there's anyone out there that can love it as much as he did, contact me.

So sorry to hear this -- Paul has been a great friend to the Trojan community and will certainly be missed. Margaret, you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I did a quick google search and Paul's memorial can be found at: https://memorials.familiesfirst.ca/paul ... etails.php

Paul and the Cruise Control were an enormous part of why I overhauled my F-26 from the stringers up. He showed me that the F-26 could be a beautiful customizable boat. Still to this day he had the cleanest bilge I've ever seen. He would always promptly reply back to questions and was an enormous help to me and I'm sure countless others along the way. RIP
