White died suddenly on the hard at Brightlingsea Sailing Club after finishing an evening pursuit race with his grandson, Fred, in a new clinker-built 18ft Brightlingsea One design, White Spirit. It had been named in 2009 and was almost identical to the boat White had first raced as a teenager 60 years before.
