UPDATED - Risto Alho In Memoriam (New Details For Trust Fund Donations)

It was with great sadness that we received news this week from the Finnish Melges 24 Class of the death of well known Finnish Melges 24 sailor Risto Alho in a skiing accident last weekend during a short skiing holiday in the Swiss Alps.  A loved father and an excellent Melges 24 sailor (co-owner of FIN-742) Risto was a familiar and popular face on the European sailing circuit and will be much missed by the Melges 24 sailing community.  Our hearts are especially with his family Jenny, Rasmus, Mija, Henna, and Risto´s parents.

UPDATE

Risto's relatives have asked that if any of you wish to mark Risto's memory in a tangible way, instead of sending flowers please would you be kind enough to make an equivalent financial contribution straight to the special bank account which has been set up to provide support direct to Risto's two young children Jenny 12 and Rasmus 10. The bank account is:
