Perhaps he had a heart attack and then fell overboard? Could have happened
that way. But I suppose it is better to remember a sailor and an all around
good guy dying while doing what he loved. I guess either way he still died
doing what he loved, didn't he?

Too any and all in the sailing and Catalina
communities. Charlie was not just a broker. Charlie
was a gentleman, a sailor and a friend to all in
Marina del Rey.

Charlie lost his life last night while racing. Here
is the Catalina announcement:

With great sadness we report the death of Charlie
Segal on April 20 , 2005.

Charlie was crewing in the first Wednesday
evening
race of the Marina del Rey Sunset Series when he fell
overboard, in spite of rescue efforts by fellow crew
members, he was in full cardiac arrest when
lifeguards pulled him from the water. He was taken to
Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital, where he died.

After working at Catalina Yachts in Woodland Hills.
Charlie joined Catalina Yacht Anchorage in Marina del
Rey in 1989, where he was the leading broker of new
and brokerage boats.

Charlie will be missed by both his colleagues and his
large circle of friends, many of whom were also his
customers. He will always be remembered as a
professional who looked after his clients with
integrity and concern, as an enthusiastic sailor, and
for his generosity and dedication to his friends and
family.

Charlie, 46, is survived by his wife Rosie and four
children; Andrew 15, Matthew 11, Hannah 8 and Sarah 5.

Please feel free to call me with any questions.
