John Douglas WOODWARD

A member of the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club, Doug Woodward began competing in international sailing competitions in the late 1940s and participated in his first edition of the Olympic Games in 1952, when he and Andrew Hugessen came in 10th among 21 nations in the star class. He was also, along with Bernard Skinner, a member of Sandy MacDonald’s 5.5 metre class entry State VI at the 1964 Summer Olympics, where the Canadians were 7th among 15 teams. Although his competitive career wound down after the Games, Woodward remained involved with his club and later served as its Commodore in 1969. He was also active with the Royal Montreal Golf Club.
