Sadly, Meade Gougeon passed away on Sunday, August 27, 2017.
Jan Pagel described Meade as "[A]n outstanding leader, both in business and the DN class. When a discussion was getting “heated”, Meade would step forward and with a few words lead us in a sensible direction. A tough, but fair, competitor, Meade’s contribution to the sport of iceboating reached far beyond the race course and is much appreciated."
Meade served as IDNIYRA Commodore in 1985 and 1986.
On the race course he was a skilled competitor. His DN accomplishments include:
North American Championship, First Place: 1997 and 1980
Gold Cup: 1991 5th place
Gold Cup Senior Trophy: 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 2001
Fair winds, Meade...
