Bengt Hornevall – doing a new sailing tour

 

Torsten Jarnstam (SWE 724) sent us the sad message that Bengt Hornevall, the third president of the IFA from 1960-1962, has passed away.

 

After a new stroke in the middle of December, Bengt died on 18 December 2007.

 

Bengt Horevall was the organizer of the second Gold Cup in 1957, in Karlstad, Sweden. He was also president of  the Swedish Finn Association in the mid-1960s. From 1956 to 1963 he was president of Karlstads Kanotförening. Bengt was also a successful Finn sailor, and in 1959 he won the Swedish Championship.

 

IFA send its sympathies to his family and friends.
