(Los Angeles, CA)- Sad news hit the J/Family the other day-
Ed Huckins, a long-time, passionate owner of the J/40 MAL DE MER,
passed away recently. Apparently, Ed's passing took place after doing
what he loved to do best, "simply messing around with boats"-- his
beloved J/40 down at the marina. Ed was the creator and keeper of the
J/40 Owner's Website. He is survived by his partner in life, Cindy
Sparks. We wish Cindy and Ed's family the best, our warmest condolences
and best wishes remembering Ed as an inspiration to us all for his love
and passion for sailing and cruising with friends around the world.
To continue to support the J/40 owners, a new website has been created
that all J/40 owners can support and contribute to- please visit:
