Honouring Roger Redwin
The Falcon Sailing Club is deeply saddened by the loss of Roger Redwin, who passed away on January 30. Roger was a longtime member whose presence helped shape the very heart of our community. Roger was a keen Laser sailor, always ready to rig up, head out, and enjoy the simple joy of wind and water. For decades, Roger shared his remarkable skills with the clubâbuilding structures, repairing boats, and quietly stepping in wherever help was needed. His craftsmanship was matched by his generosity, and so much of what we rely on today carries his touch. His enthusiasm for the sport was infectious, inspiring many to discover the thrill of sailing for themselves.
He was a leader in Mobility/Para Sailing, where his steady guidance, patience, and belief in accessible sailing opened the door for many to experience life on the water. Roger shared his love of sailing with those dearest to him, and his good humour and warmth made every day at the club brighter. We are proud to share that Roger had been nominated for the 2025 Sail Manitoba Honourary Member Award, a recognition that reflects the profound impact he had on our sailing community.
Rogerâs legacy lives on in the boats he repaired, the sailors he supported, the races he loved, and the spirit of kindness and camaraderie he brought to the dock. He will be deeply missed and long remembered.
