Sudden death of yachtsman

“Chuck” Kenahan, of the 32 ft NZ cutter Vaquero, has died in Sydney, Mr. M. A. Madder, of the motor yacht Seabee, who knew Chuck up north, writes to say he made a social call on Chuck aboard the cutter in Sydney on January 28, and was shocked to find him dead in the cabin.

Mr. Madder arranged for his cremation. His ashes were scattered at sea from the 41 ft sloop Robert Hartley, owned by Cecil Auty, who is a member of the Seven Seas Cruising Asso ciation of California, as Chuck was.

Vaquero had recently sailed from Port Moresby and Chuck had been looking forward to an other Islands cruise.
