Was an active dinghy sailor, akeen team racer and a Laser National Champion. He liked to look at the rules from competitor's point of view. He campaigned successfully to get the 720º alterenative penalty system into th rulebook. Eric wrote regular rules articles in teh 1970s wich were so popular that he used the same comic - strip style for his famous Rules Book which he wrote after serving for several years on the Royal Yachting Association's Rules Committee. Eric's tragic death in 1980 meant a great loss both his friends and to racing.sailors everywhere.
