Sad news in the Virtual Sailor Community

This sad news appeared on Facebook over the weekend.  Ilan was the developer of Virtual Sailor, starting in 1999 and evolving into one of the best, most mod-able sailing simulators available.  The loss to the VS community is immense, with many of us having had personal contact with Ilan over the past twenty plus years. Ilan will be missed.

On a personal note, I spoke with Ilan many, many years ago when I was having trouble with registration of a very early version of Virtual Sailor.   You will be missed Ilan, rest in peace.
