ROYAL QUEENSLAND YACHT SQUADRON

MAINSHEET 2021

Editor It is a privilege, 10 years after I began contributing articles to Mainsheet, to have been entrusted with Lynne’s most tangible Squadron legacy: as others have remarked, trying to fill that pair of shoes reflects not on the size of her feet but on the magnitude of that legacy which has been decades in her conservatorship. In taking the helm, I have carefully built on previous years’ templates, introducing new design elements by way of evolution. Notably, the expanded 2021 edition is published both in print and for the first time as a fully searchable, interactive online magazine. Please enjoy both. Matt Tesch
