Kingston, Ontario -- Donald
TYTLER, who sailed for Canada in
two Olympic regattas, has died at Kingston, Ontario He was 81.
In 1952, Mr.
TYTLER joined skipper Bill
GOODERHAM and other crewmen
aboard the six-metre Canadian yacht Trickson VI in the waters
off Finland's Harmaja lighthouse. The crew finished seventh overall
in an event won by Americans aboard Llanoria. The Canadians'
best result came with a second-place finish, three minutes behind
Llanoria, on the fourth of seven race days. It was a day of gentle
but constantly changing winds that demanded immediate decisions
about sails.
Mr. TYTLER returned to Olympic competition in 1956, joining helmsman
Dave HOWARD and his brother Cliff
HOWARD on Tomahawk III. The
Dragon-class racing sloop was sailed from Toronto to Montreal,
where it travelled to Australia as deck cargo on a freighter.
The journey lasted seven weeks.
Racing in the open waters of Port Phillip Bay, outside Melbourne,
the Canadian crew finished eighth in the Dragon competition.
While his crews were competitive if not victorious at the Olympics,
Mr. TYTLER could claim a share of the North American six-metre
championship in 1954. He joined a Royal Canadian Yacht Club crew
skippered by Mr.
GOODERHAM aboard Buzzy II, which defeated 12
other crafts in three days of racing on Lake Ontario. The sailors
were awarded The Globe and Mail Trophy by the newspaper's publisher.
Donald Milne
TYTLER was born in Toronto on March 8, 1925. During
the Second World War, he served in the navy. In 1949, he graduated
from the University of Toronto with a degree in mechanical engineering
and worked for the Toronto school board for 20 years. He died
at Kingston General Hospital on November 15.
