Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club recently hosted The Rohna Memorial to commemorate the sinking of HMT Rohna, of which my Grandfather was the Master.
9 ILCAs competed over 3 races. The trophy is ‘Gunghi’s Helmet’ - my grandfather wore a soup tureen into battle since his melon was too big for available helmets. My grandfather drank rum so we had a tot of rum post-race ’to HMT Rohna and those who sailed on her’.
