Everyone knew Colin and everyone loved Colin. He was the heartbeat and soul of Club Nautique. His smile and laugh put everyone at ease. His warm Caribbean soul resonates in us all. Colin was not only a dedicated friend and coworker, but also a loving father. His sudden passing has left a deep void in the lives of those who knew him, especially his daughter, Sophia. Sophia is currently seven months pregnant, facing the challenges of impending motherhood while coping with the loss of her father. We can help ease the pain and begin the healing, and show the kind of sailing community we are.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to Sophia to help cover this transition, funeral expenses, etc. As she prepares to welcome her child into the world, these contributions will provide her with some stability and peace of mind, allowing her to focus on her health and the future of her growing family. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping Sophia navigate this difficult period.

I am Arnstein Mustad, a former offshore instructor for Club Nautique and longtime friend of Colin. There's nothing I wouldn't do for him. As sailors we all live by a code to help one-another at sea--and sometimes that applies on land as well. Thank you!

This GOFUNDME campaign will conclude Feb 15th, 2026.
