Crade 4 I REPOA 0 0 6 S " 2 1 (30 P D YACHT RACING AT NORTHEAST HARBOR An Historical Sketch Yacht racing at Northeast Harbor traces its beginnings back to the early years of the twentieth century when a composite class of yachts of from twenty-one to twenty-five feet water-line length were raced successfully for a number of seasons. Among the principal contenders were Pirate, William S. Grant, Jr., and Chief, Dr. George G. Hayward. Interest lagged after a time. In 1913, however, yacht racing once more aroused interest. In that year, a one-design class of 17½/2-foot knockabouts was organized in Bar Harbor, and several of the yachts were owned in Seal Harbor and in North- east Harbor. Under the auspices of the then newly established Seal Harbor Yacht Club, races were held for the Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor yachts. The climax of the season was a race between these yachts and the Bar Harbor yachts off Seal Harbor. The race was won by Bird, Charles D. Dickey, Jr. In the spring of 1914, because of the keen interest in the preceding year, yachts were sought which would be suitable for racing at Northeast Harbor. Just at that time there were placed on the market several 17-foot yachts designed by Edwin A. Boardman and built by George Lawley and Son Corporation which belonged to a class which had been organized by the Eastern Yacht Club at Marblehead. Six of these yachts were purchased by residents of Northeast Harbor and vicinity. Daffydill, 17 Henry Parkman; Ino, Francis C. Grant and Edward W. Madeira; Atlanta, Ernest B. Dane, Jr.; Moslem III, William S. Grant, Jr.; Squaw, W. W. Rowse; and Kipper, Dr. Richard H. Harte. These yachts raced throughout the seasons of 1914 and 1915 and proved satisfactory in every way. In 1916 came the disturbance on the Mexican border, and in 1917 and 1918 the World War. Those most inter- ested in yacht racing at Northeast Harbor were in the service of the nation. In 1919, however, racing attracted new interest, and the races were conducted on a more formal scale than before. The Fleet increased in size in this year and in 1920. In 1921 the racing organization was perfected. Pre- viously the Fleet had raced boat for boat in one class. In this year three classes were organized: Class A, the Eastern Yacht Club 17-footers, eleven in number; Class B, the Bar Harbor Manchester Islesboro North Haven 17½/2-footers, six in number; and Class C, a composite class of all boats in the neighborhood of from 15 to 18 feet water line. Scores were computed for the first time and the prize pennants first awarded. In 1922 the miscellaneous class, Class C, was discon- tinued, as little interest had been shown in it. An inno- vation was the three-day cruise to Blue Hill Bay in which nine yachts took part. From this humble beginning, the cruise has grown to one of the most attractive features of the season. Further progress of the Fleet was evident in 1923, when the Fleet was formed into a yacht club under the name "The Northeast Harbor Fleet," and the Fleet burgee 18 adopted. Two new classes were added: Class O, the Northeast Harbor 15-footers, thirteen in number; and a new Class C, the Eliot-Manchester boats, three in number. The first cups were presented to the several winners at the end of the season. The following summer arrange- ments were completed for an annual series of races with the Tarratine Club of Dark Harbor, and the first races were held. In 1925 occurred the death of George Davenport Hay- ward, for many years the guiding spirit in yacht racing at Northeast Harbor. In his death the Fleet sustained a severe loss. As a memorial to him his friends generously presented the George Davenport Hayward Memorial Cup which was first sailed for in August, 1925. In that same year, under an agreement with the Seal Harbor Yacht Club, Class MDI was added to the racing classes. Because of the great increase in the size of the Fleet it became necessary to employ a full-time secretary in 1927, and in 1928 Fleet Headquarters were established on Main Street, to be kept open every week-day morning during the racing season by the secretary. All records were maintained there, Race Committee meetings held there, and race results posted. The 30 Square Meter Class was started in 1929, when Commodore Eddison and John Tyssowski imported boats from Sweden. The following season welcomed a new class of members, the junior members, and introduced the Bullseye Class for junior racing. A Fleet landing stage was established at the Clifton dock which enabled the Fleet to reciprocate in some measure for the courtesy extended to its members by other yacht clubs. 19 The growth of the Fleet was very healthy. In 1930 there was a spirit of fine sportsmanship and keen com- petition, which it is the aim of the officers to promote and foster. The Fleet started a series of home and home races in the 30 Square Meter Class with the Corinthian Yacht Club of Marblehead, Massachusetts. Two boats of our Fleet were sent to Marblehead to compete in a series of five races, and were defeated by a score of 30 to 20 points. In 1931 the Fleet purchased the Sparrow for a Committee boat. Two new 30 Square Meter Class boats were added to the Fleet. The Corinthian Yacht Club sent three crews to Northeast Harbor to compete in our boats, which were drawn by lot. The point score of this series was 63 to 35, in favor of The Northeast Harbor Fleet. The July Cruise was established in 1932 and has be- come an annual fixture. The Lawrence Dickey Memorial team races between A and B classes were inaugurated in 1933. At the annual meeting in 1937 a committee was ap- pointed consisting of Mr. Eliot Wadsworth, Chairman: Mr. Spedden, and Mr. Eddison, to consider the question of a new class. The committee recommended the adop. tion of the International Class and in 1938 fourteen of these boats were ordered and built by Bjarne Aas of Fredrikstad, Norway. Mr. Eddison was appointed a committee of one to control the importation. Sparkman and Stephens acted as buyers' agent and the European inspection and acceptance was done by Veritas. The boats were shipped to Northeast Harbor on the Norwesgian motor ship Toronto, unloading off Bear Island in April, 1938. 20 During the past eight years Fleet affairs and activities have shown noteworthy progress. In 1941 the Fleet es- tablished Headquarters for the first time directly on the shore where for two years activities' were conducted from an office located off Sea Street. An apportunity arose in 1943 to acquire the use of the Rock End Dock facilities for Fleet Headquarters and a special committee headed by Commodore Haskell raised the necessary funds to purchase the dock, and adjoining shore front property, thereby permitting the Fleet to enjoy its first permanent base of operations. This project has been developed each year culminating in the erection during 1946 of a new Fleet Headquarters building, made possible by the devoted interest in Fleet affairs of Mr. Harry G. Haskell and Mr. Harry G. Haskell, Jr. The annual meeting of 1941 approved a plan to establish a Junior Sailing Instruction Class. Put into effect in the summer of 1942 this class has flourished beyond expectation to become one of the major interests of the Fleet. In 1946 a new class of yachts was added to the regularly established racing classes of the Fleet largely through the efforts of Mr. James G. Ducey. Twenty-two Luders 16's took part in the races for the first time in Northeast Harbor waters. The healthy position of the Fleet before World War II provided a sound basis of operation, so that the zealous devotion of those members able to be at Northeast for periods of time during the war, successfully carried the Fleet through these critical years. 21 COMMODORE'S REPORT By common consent, the first peace-time season in recent years proved a particularly good one and, in addition to the successful racing and cruising programs which were completed despite wide varieties of wind, fog and calm without postponements, was marked by several notable events which established real milestones in our Fleet history. Under the leadership of Commodore Haskell, with James G. Ducey as Secretary, racing had been con- tinued during the war years under great handicaps, but with ever increasing enthusiasm. New projects had been started, and, best of all, new people had become interested in our activities, so that the new Flag Officers of 1946 had a firm foundation to begin with. The first important event was the arrival of twenty-three new Luders L-16 boats creating an additional enthusiastic racing Class which had been much needed for a long time. The boats proved easy to handle, seaworthy under some really heaving sailing conditions, and generally satisfactory in other ways. A few additional boats were authorized by the Class at the end of the season so that we can feel the Class will continue to be an important part of our Fleet in years to come. Another important feature of the season was the Inter- national Team Races organized by our Fleet Captain James G. Ducey. Three teams came from Long Island Sound captained by Mrs. James Sheldon, William Cox, and A. E. Luders, Jr., and three others came from Marble- head captained by A. L. Putnam, Jr., Arthur Poor, and Thomas Rowen. The Long Island Sound crews proved 22 their greater experience in match racing by winning de- cisively, while our own team captained by William J. Strawbridge, James G. Ducey, and Harry G. Haskell, Jr. were second. There was great enthusiasm for these matches, which were the occasion for a dinner at Jordan Pond given to the various racing crews by members of our Fleet, and for informal lunches on the days of the races provided by the Fleet itself. It was generally felt that these races provided a real stimulant to racing at Northeast, as well as valuable instruction for those who took part or witnessed them at close quarters, and it is hoped that the races in some way or other may be con- tinued in the future. The summer also marked the completion, by the end of August, of the new Clifton Dock. Though not officially a Fleet project, it was financed by a number of our ac- tive members, and its completion made possible largely through the wisdom, generosity, and energy of Mr. Vance C. McCormick, whose untimely death last spring cast a great shadow over the whole community, and deprived us all of a friend and a wise counsellor whom we can ill afford to lose. Many of the finest traditions of the Fleet are due to his excellent judgment and, of course, he will be particularly remembered in connection with this new Dock which is absolutely necessary, not only to provide landing facilities for the many members of the Fleet who are unable to moor in Rock End Cove, but also for the residents of the outlying islands, and for the many cruising yachtsmen who visit Northeast Harbor each sum- mer. The Dock. has now been made an official station of the Cruising Club of America for this coming summer 23 and, under the management of our Secretary, Arnold W. Lunt, will provide excellent facilities for these visitors, as well as for our local residents. Most important of all, however, was the completion of our new Fleet House, given by former Commodore Harry G. Haskell, and his son, Harry G. Haskell, Jr. We had hoped that the House would be completed in June, but the delay which affected all building operations last year made no exception with respect to this house and it could not be dedicated until late in August. However, the office and Race Committee rooms were in operation by July 1, and there was a roof over the rest of the house all summer, too. In fact the delay proved, in some respects, to have had some advantages, for every one of our members had a chance to make suggestions when they could still be put into effect, and much practical help was given by many individuals in landscaping the outside of the prop- erty, and in finishing off the interior, with the result that we all felt that we had an active share in its building. The simple ceremony of dedication was most impressive with brief addresses by Bishiop Peabody, Blair Lee, Roger Griswold, the architect, Horace Bucklin, the builder, the Commodore and, of course, Mr. Haskell. It was agreed that everyone had combined to make possible an unusually satisfactory Fleet Headquarters, and particular tributes were paid to the unfailing care and devotion to the job of the architect, the builder, and the many workmen who took part, and by Mrs. Max Farrand who had donated her services in connection with the location of the house and plans for its landscaping. The occasion also provided an opportunity for outlining again the ideals of the Fleet 24 which from its first organization has endeavored to carry on the traditions of the earlier summer residents in our community, to the end that the Fleet should always stand for sportsmanship of the highest order, and good seaman- ship in races and cruises, SO that racing and sailing might be a healthy influence in the life of Northeast Harbor, and should always be conducted on a simple economical basis which would recognize the value of family racing, and the importance of constantly providing inspiration for racing through an effective sailing class for the children of the community. The sailing classes, under the direction of James G. Ducey, were very popular and attracted some sixty-five children who appeared regularly at our dock throughout the summer. We all recognize that this basic instruction is the real backlog of our Fleet, and our insurance for its success in the future, so we are particularly grateful not only to Jimmy Ducey, but to Harry Platt and the other junior members of the Fleet who acted as his as- sistant instructors. We are also grateful to those who loaned their Bullseye boats for instruction purposes, to Mr. W. Barton Eddison for Woozle, to Mrs. Ledyard Cogs- well, Jr. for Puff-In, to Mr. John H. Briggs for Bicker, to Mrs. Lewis Neilson for Chizzle, to Arthur D. Foster, III for Lazy Anchor, and to Mrs. M. C. Kennedy for Wooden Shoe. We also particularly appreciate Mr. Haskell's loan of his starboard launch of the Placida which was used as a committee boat, as well as for many other purposes. It was splendid to have back with us again so many mem- bers who had been in the armed forces during the war, and especially to welcome Lieutenant Commander Arnold W. 25 Lunt back as Secretary, and former Commodore William J. Strawbridge as chairman of the Race Committee. To them both, to the other Flag Officers, to the members of the Executive and Race Committees, to Jimmy Ducey, to Mrs. Fraley as chairman of our House Committee, and to the many members who unselfishly helped with co-operation and advice, I am particularly grateful, for only with their help was it possible to make the season a success. JARVIS CROMWELL, Commodore 26 RACE COMMITTEE REPORT The unusually full schedule of the 1946 season set a ten-year record in the number of boats participating. This, together with the enthusiasm in evidence, bodes well for the "back to normal" conditions which are fast becoming reality. Seven regular races were scheduled for the July Series, only one of which was not sailed, and that due to un- favorable weather. Sixty-two boats participated at one time or another in this series, with a high of fifty-seven in one race alone. All eight of the regular August Series races scheduled were sailed with seventy-one boats taking part. Sixty-three came out for one race, a figure not attained in any year since 1936. In two races the Bullseye Class did not sail due to too heavy weather. The Cruises also brought out record numbers of boats and were generally conceded to be most successful events. In July the first race of the Cruise, however, had to be called off because of fog, and boats were towed to Swan's Island where the Ladies' Aid Society provided their usual excellent lobster supper. The thirty-five boats entered in the return race to Northeast Harbor enjoyed a good compe- tition, and that with the fine hospitality of the Swan's Island folk completed a satisfying cruise. Three legs of the August Cruise were sailed: Northeast Harbor to Pretty Marsh, Pretty Marsh to East Blue Hill, and East Blue Hill to Seal Cove, involving sixty-five boats at one time. The Kollegiwidgwok Yacht Club was our host in East Blue Hill on the second day of the Cruise at an especially memorable luncheon, and with this evidence of 27 good will, further sealed the traditionally cordial relations between our two organizations. From Seal Cove, boats were towed back to Northeast Harbor because of fog and rain. In this season all special races were resumed and some new ones were inaugurated. The Southwest Harbor Regatta, Seaman's Race, Single-handed Bullseye Race, Hayward Cup Race and Labor Day Regatta were sailed as before the War. The Hayward Cup Race, however, having been sailed each year during the War, this year was followed by a tea given by Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln Cromwell and Commodore and Mrs. Jarvis Cromwell. The appreciation and thanks of the Race Committee go to the hosts for their generous hospitality in perpetuating this traditional event. New races scheduled were weekly Cruising Class races, only two of which were actually allowed by the weather to come off, with entries of eight and nine boats respec- tively. This was considered a good turn-out for a start and assures the future success of such events. The International Class Team Races with Long Island Sound and Marblehead took place this year in our waters and was an unusual event of particular interest to Yachting circles in general. The new Luders Class was a successful addition to the racing fleet and of the twenty-two possi- bilities twenty-one raced at various times. In all, with the added convenience and luxury of a new Fleet Headquarters and the generally fair cooperation of the weather, the Fleet is able to report a more than satisfactory racing season.

There is little doubt that the Sailing Class has established itself as one of the most important functions of the Fleet, and its continuing popularity among our younger members and their friends seems to assure an ever-increasing interest in sailing and racing at Northeast Harbor. Last year's enrollment of more than 64 children was a new high in the history of the Class, and although the increase of children participating seems to be leveling off at about that figure, progress continues to be made in the organization of the Class's activity. Last year's Sailing Class suffered an initial set-back when, in early June, it was learned that Harvey R. Kelley would be unable to return to his position as Sailing Instructor. This was a severe blow to everyone concerned with the sailing instruction program, for the success of the previous four seasons had been largely due to the ability of Harvey Kelley in stimulating interest, teaching fundamentals, and conducting an extremely happy sailing session. Although his loss was a severe blow and the Class made a rather shaky start, activity and interest soon picked up when Henry N. Platt, Jr. accepted the direction of the Class. This new Sailing Instructor proved a worthy successor to Harvey Kelley, and to him can be attributed the smooth operation of the Class through the season. Because of the loss of Harvey Kelley and the fact that 53 a number of the assistant instructors of previous years were busy sailing larger boats, it was found necessary to enlist the services of some of the more experienced and older Fleet members to help in instructing the ever-enlarging Class. To Priscilla Brock, Kathy Dickey, Polly Thompson, Paul Thompson, and Jay Scott the Fleet is indebted for their patient and intelligent assistance rendered to the Class as assistant instructors. Their help assured the success of an extremely active year. The existence of the Class was contingent on the as- sistance given by those individuals, but it also depended on the generosity of several owners of Bullseyes who loaned their boats to the Fleet for use in the Class. For the past five years Mr. William Barton Eddison has unconditionally loaned Woozle to the Fleet, and she has been not only the backbone of the Sailing Class but the means for supplying individual instruction in the afternoon. To Tobey Briggs, Pat Foster, Benjie Neilson, and Mike Kennedy the Fleet is also indebted for the use of their boats in the mornings. Without the generosity of the owners of Bullseyes, the Sailing Class could not exist. A few of the problems of previous seasons were not as apparent during the past year. The availability of more in- structors appeared to solve the problem caused previously by the presence in one boat of children of widely divergent ages and abilities. With a greater number of assistants it be- came possible to put all of the younger children in one or two boats, while the more experienced could shift for them- selves. Increased supervision likewise made possible a greater variety of activities, and the Class was able to begin informal racing at an earlier date than usual. 54 With the continuing interest and assistance of Fleet members and the renewed generosity of the Bullseye own- ers, the Fleet sailing instruction program should continue to be a source of revitalization to the Fleet, and it is hoped that a product of the program will be a heightening of interest and skill in boat racing at Northeast Harbor.
