NOTICES Summer of 1943 Notices , THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE This notice is intended to outline the prospects for the Fleet and to make it easier for the members of the Fleet to plan for the coming Summer. Racing is expected to continue much as it was last Summer. The Coast Guard has added no further restrictions, and fleets in other localities plan to continue as usual. It is felt that sailing is a most economical and profitable recreation. The Fleet has been notified that, barring unfore- seen events, the yacht yards of both E. Farnum Butler and Henry R. Hinckley will be able to handle our boats as usual. However, they both stress the need of sufficient notice. It is urged that they be notified before the end of April to avoid disappointment later. Owners who have not yet planned for the Summer would do well to condition their boats anyway to make charters possible. During the coming summer the Fleet will operate the Rock End dock, which otherwise would not have opened. The Fleet intends to use the dock as its Headquarters. J. G. Ducey Secretary THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET Sailing Instruction Notice With the hope of stimulating interest in sailing and racing at Northeast Harbor, the Fleet is fortunate in again having the services of Mr. . Harvey Kelley to direct dail ailing instruction classes during the coming season. The program will be conducted on the same basis as that of last year with the classes open to any child irrespective of mem- bership in the Fleet. The charge for the season, which is from July 15 through the month of August, will again be ten dollars, which entitles the child to sail each week-day during that period. Sailing will be done in Bull's Eyes provided by the Fleet and instruction will include use of the tender, getting boat ready for sailing, actual sailing with each child taking his turn at the helm and sheets, finally picking up mooring and furling sail. On stormy days the class will be held indoors with such things as knot tying, compass points, and reading of charts taken up. Further information may be obtained at the Fleet office on the Rockend Dock. J. G. Ducey Secretary THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET General Fleet Notice 1943 lines as last year:- The racing program for the current season will be conducted along the same 1.

PRIZES: The Captain of the first yacht to cross the line will have his name engraved on the Hayward Memori- al Cup, and the yacht will receive a replica of the cup whenever one can be obtained. RULES: The rules of The Northeast Harbor Fleet will gov- ern, except as herein modified. POSTPONEMENT: In case of unfavorable weather, the race will be sailed Thursday, August 19, 1943. COURSE: No. 7 or 8, to be announced at warning signal. START: Warning White flag 2.00.00 p.m. Preparatory Code flag P 2.05.00 NOTICE OF SPECIAL TROPHY A special trophy has been donated to The Northeast Harbor Fleet by Mr. Jarvis Cromwell to be sailed for under the follow- ing conditions: "To be awarded to that boat in the A Class with the high- - est average points for races sailed in the August Series, provided that the boat has taken part in at least two races, and in those races was sailed by the owner himself or by one of his immediate family". The Northeast Harbor Fleet has had a well-deserved reputation for good racing by keen sailors. Our Racing Rules are based on the ordinary customs of the sea, designed to avoid collision, together with additions necessary to meet special conditions of yacht racing. The more important rules are clearly set forth in the Fleet's book of RACING INSTRUCTIONS. All members of the Fleet should know and observe these instructions in racing. The Race Committee feels there have been too many violations of the racing rules due, porhaps, to a mistaken feeling that racing in these war days need not be taken seriously. This is a wrong at- titude and makes for sloppy racing. For good racing every skipper must know his rights, and stand up for them. On the other hand a yacht clearly at fault should im- mediately withdraw, in fairness to others raoing. It is imperative such withdrawal take place when a collision occurs or a mark of the course is touched. Harry G.
