19.01.2022 We are saddened at the loss of Catalina founder and CEO Frank W. Butler. We are forever grateful for his endless contributions to the sailing community, for introducing new generations to the joy of sailing and for the positive impact he made on countless lives. From Catalina Yachts: Catalina Yachts Announces Loss of CEO Frank W. Butler... Woodland Hills, CA November 15, 2020 Catalina Yachts today issued the following statement: It is with great sadness that we announce that Frank Willis Butler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Catalina Yachts, passed away November 15, 2020 in Westlake Village, CA, due to unexpected complications from a recent illness. We extend our most heartfelt condolences and sympathy to Frank's family. Our thoughts are with them at this most difficult time. A sailing icon and industry kingspoke, Frank Butler has introduced hundreds of thousands of people to sailing during his lifetime. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Frank have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Frank leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Catalina Yachts. Born in California in 1928, Frank’s line of popular sailboats put more than 85,000 Catalinas on the water throughout the yachting world. His boatbuilding career began in 1962, when he contracted with a Southern California builder for a 21’ daysailer. The builder was unable to finish the boat, and gave Butler the tooling. He completed building the boat himself, found he enjoyed the process, and agreed to take over the company. A few years later he founded Catalina Yachts, which has grown to become the largest builder of fiberglass production sailboats in the United States, a position it holds to this day. A key to Butler’s success in the sailboat industry was his attention to Catalina customers. Handling warranty issues himself, owners were nearly always surprised and reassured to get a personal call from Frank to discuss their concerns. Butler was inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame in 2013. In recognition of his support of the Congressional Cup, a world match racing event, Long Beach Yacht Club awarded him the Crimson Blazer. He was also a founder and lifelong member of the Westlake Yacht Club in Westlake, CA. Following his graduation from Glendale High School, he served in the US Navy. He met his wife, Jean, at a school dance; they recently celebrated their 71st anniversary. Frank is survived by Jean, their four daughters, Deborah Reese, Mary Linn, Nancy Bear, and Karen Butler; three sons, David, Robert and Steve; 20 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. Awakening the joy of sailing for so many people in past generations, Frank Butler’s sailing legacy will certainly continue well into in future generations.

18.01.2022 Toronto once again shines with a beautiful day on Sunday and we got to share our foreshore with @CCACinc Thanks for visiting us! We had a great day, kicking of...f with some Learn to Sail students ably tutored by Lia, Neil and the team, and some more practice on windsurfers by Karen and Bens father John. They are both getting better with each time out on the water and joined us for the afternoon races. We had a lovely little breeze in the morning but it progressively eased off as the afternoon arrived. Anthony had to work hard to get his board foiling and understandably called it a day after Race 1. The rest of the fleet managed to get in two races, though the second race shortened with a quick buoy movement with help from Scott from the Carey Bay fleet of sabots that joined us, and a start line move due to shifting wind direction. It ended up quite drifty but it made for some beautiful photos as the sun lowered - wish I took my proper camera out! Race 2 became a battle of the windsurfers as they could pump down wind. Ben Micallef put some pressure on Peter Doolan but in the end Pete wins his first race at TASC - well done mate. Cudos to Ben as he had run 30kms in the morning, earning a cooling off swim at the finish. Sarah graced us with her LT prowess, big smiles and took out the womens division. Well done to all who sailed, we hope you had some fun. Our next Learn to Sail (8 week program) starts on Sunday 18th October for only $200! All the gear and qualified coaching is provided for absolute beginners and more advanced coaching as needed. Kids can use their $100 NSW Gov Active Kids voucher making the 8 week course a very affordable and fun sport option. Learn to sail a dinghy or windsurfer.
