Speech by Commodore Sarosh Karani - at the Renaming of the Mandwa Club House.

DEDICATION OF CLUB HOUSE

On behalf of the Bombay Sailing Association, I welcome Jeanne, Nadina, Nadish, Larissa, Taron, members of the BSA and friends of Kerse Naoroji on this lovely Saturday afternoon to dedicate the Club House in honour of a man, whose name is synonymous with that of Bombay Sailing Association and Mandwa.

Much has been said about his passion for sailing and have heard the many humorous anecdotes of the many sailing expeditions that Kerse undertook in the company of Da Silva, Adi Unwalla and others. However, I doubt whether we are acquainted with Kerse's absolute and complete devotion and commitment to BSA and his most favorite place of residence --- Mandwa. It is for these very reasons, that the Managing Committee of BSA thought it fit to dedicate this Clubhouse, as the Kerse Naoroji Clubhouse, as a token of it's appreciation of what he did for BSA.
