David Currie to be home for Christmas

The popular Melbourne-based industry figure, MD of the Currie Group, became a cropper during one of his sought after pre-Christmas sailing expeditions following a contretemps with a ‘rubber duckie’ out near the Sydney Heads. Flying across the waves at speed he ‘did’ his back and had to be rushed to Manly Hospital.

For a time there it looked as though he would see the start of the Sydney to Hobart from his hospital window, but yesterday afternoon, with the support of his family, he battled his way home.

David’s generous Christmas hospitality over the years in taking a wide range of industry folk sailing aboard his magnificent yacht Lady Godiva on Sydney Harbour and Port Philip Bay, is the stuff of legend. For those lucky enough to score a regular invitation it proves to be the high spot of the season; for the one timers it is an experience never to be forgotten.

David, here at Print21 we join your many well wishers in wishing you the very best happiness and a speedy recovery over the Christmas season and look forward to seeing you shipshape and back at the helm in 2007.
