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 171/2-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, 19 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 - Isleshoro - North Haven 17½-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 20 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. 21 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 Norwegian motor ship Toronto, unloading off Bear Island in April, 1938. 22 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. 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. An opportunity 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. 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. Unwilling to allow his keen interest in the Fleet to wane, Mr. Harry G. Haskell has gone forward with the 23 Fleet to complete his building project. Through his con- tinued support during 1947 and 1948, funds have been made available for landscaping the Fleet property at Rock End Dock. Through the generosity of Mr. Haskell and many of the members of the Fleet, it was possible over a two year period, to replace entirely the pier construction of the Rock End Dock. Friends of Mr. Vance C. McCormick have erected a flag pole on the Fleet property in memory of Mr. McCormick's untiring devotion to the Fleet. During the summer of 1948 the Fleet was incorporated thereby permitting it to acquire the physical property which had been held by three trustees for several years. 24 REPORT OF THE COMMODORE 1953 My absence from Northeast Harbor during the summer of 1953 makes it difficult for me to present a Commodore's report in the usual form, but there are several matters on which I would like to comment briefly. In the first place, I wish to record here the deep appre- ciation of the Fleet for the generous gift of the parking lot made by Conway H. Olmstead, Mrs. Spencer G. Nauman and Mrs. Hugh McMillan in memory of the late Mr. and Mrs. Vance C. McCormick. In accordance with a decision of the Executive Committee, I sent out an appeal to our members in February, 1953, for contributions needed to acquire the parking lot, to install a new engine in one of our boats and for other purposes. Shortly thereafter the offer of the donors to give the parking lot in memory 0 Mr. and Mrs. McCormick was received and gratefully ac- cepted. It is indeed fitting that we should have this memorial to Mr. and Mrs. McCormick, whose devoted efforts on be- half of the Fleet and generous support of its activities are so well known to all of us. We are most grateful to their children for their gift and for the memorial which it pro- vides for their parents, whose memory we will always cherish. A second major gift to the Fleet for which we are deeply grateful is that of Mrs. C. Frederick C. Stout and her family who presented us their power cruiser "Shearwater" in memory of the late Mr. C. Frederick C. Stout. This fine craft will serve the Fleet as Committee Boat and provide more room, speed and ability with which to run races. I also wish to thank our other members for their generous 25 response to the request for contributions. The amount sub- scribed enabled us to make all improvements planned for 1953 and to set aside in reserve some funds which will be available for extraordinary needs in the future. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to David Rocke- feller who performed many of the duties of Commodore in my absence. He gave much time to the affairs of the Fleet and contributed greatly to the success of the season's activities. In this I know that he had the invaluable help of our Secretary, the other officers of the Fleet. and of the Executive Committee and other Committees, to all of whom we are deeply indebted for their faithful services.

For the first time there were two entirely separate programs: the sailing class, with an enrollment of 112, and the morning races for juniors, participated in by 50 boys and girls, 25 of whom were also sailing class members. (The morning races were formerly part of the sailing class.) New attendance records were set during the first week of August, with 68 appearing in one day for sailing class, while 80 different youngsters attended class that week. The weekly average from July 6th through September 5th was 58 different students. In the junior races, the top attendance in any one race was 38. Of these two large groups, only 37 were Junior Fleet Members. The coverage of instructors for such a large group was good, though never as complete as we would have liked. Particular thanks are due our volunteer instructors. It would have been impossible to handle this extensive pro- gram without the faithful help of Christine Goodman. Louisa Foulke, Margaret Stroud, Charles R. Tyson, Jr., and Gilbert Butler, Jr. Our regular staff included, at vari- ous times during the summer, Arthur D. Foster III, Frederic C. Church, Jr., Benjamin Williams, Edward Hinckley, and John Van Pelt. At no time, however, were there more than eight instructors available. The entire staff felt the loss to the Army in August of Doug Foster, who had so ably conducted several rainy day programs and also acted as executive officer of the class. As in past years, our principal problems arose from a lack 30 of boats and instructors for the size of the class. Even when the classes were small, it was frequently necessary to assign five children to a boat to have adequate coverage of instructors, though other boats were sometimes available. The older, more advanced sailors particularly suffered here, for all the instructors were required for the younger chil- dren, and the older ones sailed about by themselves with all too infrequent instruction from the work-boat. While this is necessary in developing confident, dependable sailors, we always felt lacking in providing the instruction a sail- ing class should for these more advanced youngsters. A formal curriculum was established in July, but was set aside as unsuitable for a class of such "transient" nature. Certain basic and informal tests were retained, however, for reasons of safety. It has been my experience that a testing program can evolve into such a scramble to pass tests that the pure pleasures of sailing are missed. Each day's sailing was organized, however, so that courses were sailed requiring all the maneuvers and tactics a good sailor should master, and informal races, seamanship races, landing and mooring practice, dummy man-overboard drill, and similar exercises were often introduced. Trips to Bear Island Light and the Southwest Harbor Coast Guard Station were also made, but no time was found to run a sailing class picnic or fishing trips as in the past. No entirely satisfactory solution was found to the peren- nial problem of holding class on foggy or rainy days. When- ever possible, closely supervised rowing was allowed in the cove north of the dock, and early in the season several "lectures" on boats and seamanship were held quite suc- 31 cessfully, as were some knot tying sessions. As the class grew larger and more heterogenous, however, these indoor classes proved a little difficult for the students and instructors both. To hold the attention of a six-year-old in a talk on racing rules or even types of sailing craft is impossible; and fifteen-year-olds soon fail to show up when subjected to games or talks for the younger group. Unfortunately the Fleet House is not adequate for dividing the class into three groups according to age, ability, etc., which is the ideal solution to this problem. A compromise solution was found in holding the large class for one hour only. It is recom- mended that this be the announced policy for non-sailing days in the future. To the owners of the Bullseyes, who are really the patrons of the class, I would like to express the gratitude of all the instructors and pupils. A continual, concerted effort was made to keep each boat in good order, making any replace- ment of equipment and repairs needed, whether class in- duced or not. It is only hoped that all the boats. most of which are veterans of many seasons, were returned in as good or better condition than when they were turned over to the class. The series of junior morning races was entirely separate from the sailing class this year, though many class members also raced. In addition to the Bullseye Class, a class of Luders 16's was organized by Mr. Ducey, producing as many as ten boats in one start. The high point of the sea- son saw nine L-16's and ten Bullseyes appear one morning in August. During the entire summer a total of 147 boats started in the ten races held for each class. Each boat 32 had a crew of two, which provided a real test of seaman- ship in handling the Luders' spinnakers, even though these were allowed only in light or moderate airs. The Luders series provided a testing ground for the selection of a crew to represent Northeast in the Sears Cup competition, the national junior championship. Harald Paumgarten, Jr., Charles J. Hatfield, Hugh C. Scott, and Charles R. Tyson, Jr. did an excellent job in winning the Maine eliminations, held at Northeast. It is unfortunate that this crew was unable to continue the competition. The third place Prouts Neck crew became the Maine Y.R.A. repre- sentative and went on to qualify in the New England semi- finals and place 4th in the finale in Ohio. The experience of the Sears Cup competition proved the value of interclub racing with juniors from nearby yach| clubs. Not only was the ability of our juniors proven, but much was learned that can be gained only from this type of competition, while a respect for sailing in other areas was also acquired. The broadening experience of interclub racing should be continued by the resumption of a Maine Y.R.A. series. To schedule a limited number of outside races would require a modified morning race schedule, however. With this year's heavy schedule, it would have been impossible to work in an interclub series; but the value of more than two morning races a week also proved doubt- ful. It should be possible to schedule an adequate morning racing program, complete with postponement dates, and still be able to hold a few interclub races. The Effie Disston Fraley Trophy for improvement in sail- ing was awarded for the first time this year. The recipient, 33 Lodowick Crofoot, started the summer with relatively little experience. When he left at the end of July, he had placed third in the regular July Bullseye series, fourth in the July morning series, and third in the Bullseye Class in the South- west Harbor Regatta. I would like to express here my thanks to a very loyal and patient staff. For all of them and myself, I would also like to thank all the members and officers of the Fleet, and Jimmy Ducey in particular, for an interesting, if sometimes exciting, and enjoyable summer. Respectfully submitted. WILLIAM T. LEAVITT 34 REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE RACE COMMITTEE 1953 The 1953 racing season opened as usual with the Inde- pendence Day Regatta. Ten boats competed in the morning in a time allowance race for all classes. However, the afternoon race was called off because of the extremely high northwesterly winds. The number of boats sailing in the July Series races left a lot to be desired. This was especially true in the A and Luders Classes. The total number of all classes was 160 this year and 175 in 1952. The same number of races were sailed. The July Cruise was this year again highly successful. Like in 1952 it was sailed as a handicap race, all one- design and cruising class boats competing against each other. The Cruise went to Babson Island the first day and back to Northeast Harbor the second day. Twenty-one boats competed which was only three boats less than the pre- vious year. The number of boats in the August Series gained con- siderably over that of July, especially in the A and Luders Classes. However, the 9th Series Race had to be cancelled because of the postponement of the August Cruise. This cancellation conceivably cut the total number of boats competing in these races by 45 boats as this is usually one of our largest days. As it was, there were 248 boats raced as against 348 boats in 1952. The September Series of two races added 52 boats to the August Series total. 35 Fog enveloped the coast on the Wednesday the August Cruise was scheduled to begin and the Cruise was postponed until the following day. This postponement, though neces- sary, probably decreased somewhat the number of boats. Like last year the Cruise sailed to Southeast Harbor the first day and to Allen Cove and Pretty Marsh the second day, and from Pretty Marsh to Northeast Harbor the third day. The Cruising Class was divided this year into two classes-for boats over 30' waterline and for those under 30'. Altogether 41 boats raced. In addition to the Series Races, Regattas, and Cruises, the Hayward Cup, Seaman's and Luders Single Handed races were held. These races, as usual, were highly suc- cessful. It is very satisfying to bring to your attention the success of the Fleet's representatives in the Sears Cup Maine Eliminations, and in the Mallory Cup Semi-Finals. Hal Paumgarten and his crew won the Maine Eliminations of the Sears Cup, while Jim Ducey and his crew won the semi- finals of the Mallory Cup. With this victory Jim won the right to represent The Northeast Harbor Fleet and Massa- chusetts and Maine areas in the finals at Larchmont. For their fine performances I feel the Fleet owes Jim and Hal and their crews a well done. The starting of the races this year has been improved by the blowing of a horn once for each boat over the line too soon. This has certainly been a boon to those of us who are over zealous at the start. Your Race Committee has also lengthened the time limits for the Luders Class by fifteen minutes. It is hoped that next year this will cut down the 36 number of unfinished races in this Class. It has also been voted in the Committee to move forward the August Cruise one week. If this meets the approval of the Executive Committee it is hoped that more boats will be secured for this important event. In conclusion I wish to thank Bill Leavitt and his staff aboard the Committee Boat for their fine work in conducting the races. I want also to express my gratitude to Jim Ducey for his tireless aid to this Committee. Respectfully submitted, BURTON H.
