This appeared in the October 2014 issue of the Tiger Rag, the official magazine of the New Zealand Paper Tiger Owners Association: "It’s with much sadness that we bid farewell to Wendy Syman. She lost her battle with cancer on 5 September, peacefully in her sleep. She was the real worker during our several years as NZPTOA Secretary/Treasurer, and a great supporter of the class. We’ll all miss her at future regattas."
