It is with great sadness that we learned that Pascal passed away. Pascal was a member of our first and second full overseas tours to Brisbane and Limerick. Pascal was the life of any party and always had a grin on his face. He will be very fondly remembered. Rest in peace, mate. 
La ceremonie d'adieu du Capitaine Pascal will take place during the next June regatta (June 20-21, 2009) and will be called the "Pascal Leray Memorial Weekend" as kindly suggested by Bill Gasson. The cremation will take place on Saturday 20th June after the arrival of the first part of the regatta at the Wat near by Pascal's apartment around 4.00 / 5.00 pm. OMYC will offer a function in memory to Pascal after the Wat ceremony at the Ocean Marina for all sailors and friends. On Sunday and before the start of the second part of the regatta (around 9.00 am), we will scatter the ashes of Pascal to the sea from Breakaway board at a location chosen by Michael (please bring with you a lot of flowers). Aurelia and Bertrand Leray (his daughter and son) will come from France to attend the ceremony. Pascal Leray Memorial Weekend 20-21st June 2009
