It is with great regret that I announce the death of Chris Tiff on Monday 11th July at the age of 53. Chris had been a member of the Club only from 2007 but had endeared himself to many members with his generosity and his somewhat larger than life character - he will be sadly missed.


Chris kept his motor boat, New Morning Star, at St Katherine’s Dock and joined in the activities of the Club on the East Coast, he was also a member of the Sail & Power Committee.

Chris was the London and South East Regional Organiser of UCATT (the Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians) where he did pioneering work in the training of construction workers.

The Club will miss his energy and his love of life. Our thoughts are with his partner, Rossina, and his family in Belfast. His funeral will be 11am, 28 July at London City Crematorium, , Aldersbrook Road, Manor Park. Everyone is welcome to attend. Either flowers or a donation to the RNLI.
