John Colquhoun (1912 – 1988), sailed in the inaugural Sydney Hobart as co-owner of Ambermerle and placed 2nd to Rani. He sailed in many subsequent races south, with his three children joining him in '59 and '60. Blue Moon is jointly owned and crewed by the next two generations of Colquhouns and is competing in the 50th Anniversary Race to commemorate the yachting achievements of the late John Colquhoun.
