8 Bells toll for sail maker Spike Boston

       
 
Posted May 1, 2026

We were saddened to learn that Spike Boston, of Doyle Boston Sailmakers in the Sarnia area, has sailed over the Horizon at age 80.  Many FYC members will know the Boston Family and probably had sails made by Spike’s crew over the years.  He will be sadly missed. FYC sends our deepest condolences to his family and friends.  Fair Winds Spike!

A Celebration of Life for Spike will be at the Sarnia Yacht Club, Saturday, May 2 from 1:00 to 6:00pm
