Any of you who've ever browsed the sailingtexas.com website may want to know that David Luckenbach passed away yesterday evening after losing his battle with cancer.

Sail on David.

Sorry to hear that. His website is a huge source of information. I have used it extensively while researching boats; I would hate to see his site go. Does anyone have any contact information?

Trev, there's some info on the page - Wife Alison says he wanted it to continue, and they hope to do so. Also there's an email address on the page

R.I.P Dave and thanks for all the helpful info. there has not been a week that I haven't visited his site. It is how I knew what my C-22 was and how I also came to look at the C-26's for the first time. My thoughts go out to his family.

What a loss!

I will add a black stripe at the foot of my mast this season
to remember all the sailors we've lost this year.

Sail big and sail free Dave.

Wow, that's sad to hear. I visited that site numerous times a day when I was boat shopping. What a wealth of info.
