ISORA is saddened to learn of the passing of David Pearson. We extend our sincere condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time.
David presented the Wolf’s Head Trophy to ISORA, a prize that has been awarded every year to our overall champion. His contribution has become a defining part of offshore racing in the Irish Sea.
Information about the trophy, including the full list of winners from 1977 to 2025, is available on the ISORA website under Wolf’s Head Trophy.
David’s legacy lives on through this prestigious award, which remains one of the most sought‑after achievements for offshore sailors in the Irish Sea.
David was 94 when he died, and his funeral will take place at Landican, Wirral, on Friday 6 February at noon.
