There were present: Mr. Madeira, Mr. Hayward, and Mr. Johnson. Plans for the coming season were discussed. It we.s decided that the courses a.c outlined at the last moeting at Northeast Herbor be used. The Chairman was instructed to have a sketch showing these circulars reproduced on the circular. Mr. Hayward stated that he would procure the necessary buoys. Classes are to start ten minutes apart. Until further notice, the course for Class "0" will bo announced C.S soon as Class "B" has started. The series of races to count for the trophy will be hold in August only. Preliminary roces will be held, starting July 17th. Mr. Madeire announced that Mrs. Charlos D. Dickey would present the "Stephen Whitney Dickey Memorial Trophy" for the winner of the August Series in Class "A". It was decided that 8. cruise, similar to that hold last year, be held on August 18th, 19th and 20th, to which The Bar Harbor and Islesboro Fleets should be invited. It is expected that there will be approximately thirty yachts in the Fleet this summer. Edward W. Nadeira, Chairman. 200 The hudder . Apr. 1923. Sloop, Designed by Alden and Built at Camden, Me. Alden-Designed O Class Sloop Above is the photograph of one of the most popular of sloops designed recently by John G. Alden, of Boston. This boat is one of a class of fourteen now building by the Camden-Anchor Rockland Machine Co. in their shops at Camden, Me., for the Northeast Harbor Fleet of Northeast Harbor, Me. The boats are especially suit- able for the local conditions in Northeast Harbor, although the same design has been used for fleets in various East- ern waters. They are 18 feet 2 inches overall, 15 feet 5 inches on the waterline, 6 feet 2 inches wide and only draw 18 inches with the centerboard raised. The sail plan shows a Marconi-rig with 200 square feet of canvas. A spin- naker is also carried. There are 500 pounds of inside ballast and a 50-pound slab of lead on the centerboard to overcome flotation. The sails are being made by Cousens and Pratt and the equipment will be high-grade throughout. As there is a watertight bulkhead forward, the boats are non-sinkable. The sketch plans of the boats as well as a more complete description will be found on Page 44 of the March issue of THE RUDDER. The Northeast Harbor Fleet 1923 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET 1923 Yacht races, similar to those held in the past years, will be held on Tuesday and Friday of each week during the period beginning Tuesday, July 17th, and Friday, August 31st. Special races will be sailed as follows: Special Baker Island Race, Wednesday, August 15th; Special Duck Island Race, Wednesday, August 22nd. In addition it is planned to hold a three day cruise, such as was held so successfully last year, starting Sat- urday, August 18th. The destination of this cruise will be some point in Blue Hill Bay. Full details will be announced later. ENTRIES.-Races will be sailed in the following classes: Class A: Eastern Yacht Club 17 foot class. Class B: North Haven-Isleboro-Bar Harbor 17 foot class. Class 0: Northeast Harbor 15 foot class. The races will be sailed boat for boat in each class. Boats in Classes A and B are limited to their working sails; that is, jibs and mainsails; light sails are not per- mitted except in Class O. Persons desiring to enter their boats should communicate as soon as possible with Northeast Harbor 134, giving the names and descrip- EDWARD W.

The Committee cover will to during entry the races. a racing number, which must be assign displayed sisting life a suitable anchor and carry line, a an compass equipment and one EQUIPMENT.__Boats of must con- preserver for each person on board. 2 CREWS.-There is no limit to the number of persons who may be carried on board during the races. It is the hope of the Committee that boats will be handled as far as possible by amateurs only. STARTING AND FINISHING LINE.-The starting and finishing line extends between two white buoys an- chored off the entrance to Northeast Harbor, as indicated by "Mark A" on the accompanying chart. STARTS.-Starts will be made as follows: Class A: Preparatory signal, 2.25 p. m. Starting signal, 2.30 p. m. Class B: Preparatory signal, 2.30 p. m. Starting signal, 2.35 p. m. Class 0: Preparatory signal, 2.35 p. m. Starting signal, 2.40 p. m. The preparatory signal for Class A will be a gun or whistle and a red flag displayed from the Referee's boat. The starting signal for Class A, which is also the prepa- ratory signal for Class B, will be a gun or whistle and a white flag displayed from the Referee's boat. The start- ing signal for Class B, which is also the preparatory signal for Class o, will be a gun 01 whistle and a blue flag dis- played from the Referee's boat. The starting signal for Class o will be a gun or whistle and a black flag displayed from the Referee's boat. Starts for the Special Baker Island and Duck Island races will be, for all classes: Preparatory signal, 10.15 a. m. Starting signal, 10.20 a. m. Entries must cross the starting line after the start- ing signal for their class. Boats crossing the starting line before the starting signal for their class must recross the line after the signal has been given. Boats will keep well away from the starting line until after the preparatory signal for their class has been given in order that there may be the greatest pos- sible maneuvering space. 3 COURSES.-The chart which is shown marks. herewith shows the location of the several racing No. 1.

In addition, trophies may be awarded. TIME LIMIT.-In case no boat finishes within three hours after the starting signal for Class A, the race will not count. Such races will not be resailed. FOULS.-In case one boat fouls another, the boat committing the foul shall immediately withdraw from the race. PROTESTS.-Protests of any sort to be considered by the Committee must be in writing and must be placed in the hands of the Committee before midnight of the day following the race in which the alleged foul was com- mitted. Protests must state clearly all facts upon which the alleged foul is based. POSTPONEMENTS.-In case of inclement weather, the races will be postponed until the next favorable day. Contestants should get in touch with a member of the Committee. RACING RULES.-In any case not covered by these instructions, the American Yacht Racing Rules as given in "Handbook of American Yacht Racing Rules" will govern. For the convenience of yacht owners, the following extracts from the American Yacht Racing Rules are set forth. It is recommended that each yacht owner procure a copy of the "Handbook on American Yacht Racing New York. which may be obtained through the Knickerbocker Press, Rules" by Messrs. Parsons, Macdonough and Spedden, RULE IX-Amenable to Racing Rules the that the preparatory signal for her class from is time A yacht shall be amenable to the Racing Rules 6 made, and shall continue so until her entire hull and spars have passed across the finish line. After crossing the finishing line a yacht shall not interfere with any yacht still in the race. RULE X-Start and Finish 4. The time at the start and finish shall be taken when the foremast on a Schooner and the mainmast on a Sloop or Yawl first crosses the line after the starting signal has been made. 5. If this point (the foremast on a Schooner and the mainmast on a Sloop or Yawl) be across the line when the starting signal is made, she must return and start again. 6. A yacht so returning, or one working into posi- tion from the wrong side of the line after the signal for starting has been made, must keep clear of and give way to all competing yachts. RULE XII-Right-of-Way DEFINITIONS: (A) Close-hauled_A yacht is close-hauled when sailing by the wind as close as she can lay with advantage in working to windward. (B) Wind Aft-A yacht with the wind aft is deemed to have the wind on the side opposite to that on which she is carrying her main boom. (C) Overlapping and Clear-Two yachts sailing same or nearly the same course are said to be overlapping when either yacht has no longer a free choice on which side of the other she shall pass, and the overlap continues to exist so long as the leeward yacht by luffing, or the windward yacht by bearing away, is in danger of foul- ing. Otherwise they are said to be clear. (D) Overtaking-Of two yachts sailing the same or nearly the same course, the one clear astern, if ap- proaching the other so as to involve an overlap, is said to be the overtaking yacht, and she continues such after the yachts overlap until she has again drawn clear. (E) Luffing-A yacht is luffing when she so alters her course as to sail a course more nearly into the wind. (F) Mark-A mark is any vessel, boat, buoy, or other object used to indicate the course. RIGHT-OF-WAY When one yacht is approaching another yacht, SO as to involve the risk of fouling, one of them shall keep clear of the other as follows: 1. Right-of-Way on Different Points of Sailing-A yacht free shall keep clear of one close-hauled. 2. Right-of-Way on Same Point of Sailing, with Wind on Opposite Sides. (a) When both yachts are close-hauled and have the wind on opposite sides the yacht with the wind on the port side shall keep clear. (b) When both yachts are free, or both have the wind aft, and have the wind on op- posite sides, the yacht with the wind on the port side shall keep clear. 3. Right-of-Way on Same Point of Sailing, with Wind on Same Side-When both yachts are free, or both have the wind aft and have the wind on the same side, the yacht to windward shall keep clear. 4. Right-of-Way Converging Close-Hauled-When two yachts, both close-hauled on the same tack, are con- verging by reason of the leeward yacht holding a better wind and neither can claim the rights of a yacht being overtaken, then the yacht to windward shall keep clear. 5. Right-of-Way. Altering course-When of two yachts one is obliged to keep clear, the other [subject to the provisions of Section 6, Clause (a) ], shall not alter her course as to involve the risk of fouling. 6. Right-of-Way. Overtaking, Luffing and Bearing Away-A yacht overtaking another yacht shall keep clear of the overtaken vacht. The provisions of this sec- this Rule. tion override Section 2 (b), Section 3 and Section 5 of (a) Passing to Windward-Provided that the overtaking yacht makes her over- lap on the side opposite to that on which the overtaken yacht then carries her main boom, the overtaken yacht may luff as she pleases to prevent an overtaking yacht passing her to windward until the taken yacht is in such a position that over- her bowsprit, would strike the overtaking yacht no bowsprit end, or stem head, if she has 8 abaft the main shrouds, when her right to luff further from her course shall cease. (b) Passing to Leeward-An overtaken yacht must never bear away to prevent an- other yacht from passing her to leeward- the lee side to be considered that on which the leading yacht of the two carries her main boom. The overtaking yacht must not luff until she has drawn clear ahead of the yacht which she has overtaken. 7. Right-of-Way. Rights on New Course-A yacht shall not be entitled to her rights on a new course: (a) Until she has filled away. (b) If she SO alters her course as to in- volve the immediate risk of fouling another yacht which, owing to her position, cannot keep clear. 8. Right-of-Way. Passing and Rounding Marks- If an overlap exists between two yachts when both of them, without tacking, are about to pass a mark on a required side, then the outside yacht must give the in- side yacht room to pass clear of the mark. A yacht shall not, however, be justified in attempt- ing to establish an overlap and thus force a passage be- tween another yacht and the mark after the latter yacht has altered her helm for the purpose of rounding. 9. Right-of-Way. Obstruction to Sea Room-When a yacht is approaching a shore, shoal, pier, rock, vessel, or other dangerous obstruction, and cannot go clear by altering her course without fouling another yacht, then the latter shall, on being hailed by the Club member in charge of the former, at once give room; and in case one yacht is forced to tack or to bear away in order to give room, the other shall also tack or bear away as the case may be at as near the same time as is possible without danger of fouling. But should such obstruction be a designated mark of the course, a yacht forcing another to tack under the provisions of this section shall be dis- qualified. (See Rule XIX, Section 2, where this rule is particularly referred to.) ing) of which the yacht concerned has to keep out of the A vessel under way (including another yacht rac- way, ranks as an obstruction for the purpose of this rule. 9 RULE XIV-Accidents Each yacht shall render every possible assistance to any vessel or person in peril, and if in the judgment of the Regatta Committee she will have thereby injured her chances of winning, they shall order the race resailed be- tween such yacht and the winner in her class. RULE XIX-Disqualifications 1. Each yacht must go fairly around the course, and in the rounding each specified mark her track from the preceding to the following mark must enclose it on the required side. A yacht touching a mark, unless wrongfully compelled to do so by another yacht, shall at once abandon the race. 2. If a yacht, in consequence of her neglect of any of these Rules, shall foul another yacht, or compel an- other yacht to foul any yacht, mark, or obstruction, or to run aground, she shall be disqualified and shall pay all damages; and any yacht which shall wrongfully cause another to luff, bear away, or tack, in order to avoid fouling, or shall without due cause compel another yacht to give room or to tack under Section 9, Rule XII, or shall herself fail to tack or to bear away, as required in that Section, or shall in any way infringe or fail to comply with any of these Rules or attempt to win a race by other means than fair sailing and superior speed and skill, shall be disqualified. 4. The Regatta Committee shall without a protest disqualify any yacht, should they know prior to the con- clusion of the race that she has committed a breach of these Rules. The Committee hopes that all will co-operate to make the races a success. In order that there may be the greatest possible number of starters in each race, those who are prevented from sailing their boats are requested to obtain substitutes. It is the wish of the Committee that the keen spirit of friendly competition, which has been the tradition of these races in the past, will always be present and that anything to mar the good sportsman- ship of the races will be entirely lacking.

The proper use of the masks forming a triangle at the starting live was explained . at the start and finish boats should cross the live which is at right angles to Their course. In the event of sailing short-courses twice atread the large battel at should used the south Easlein end of the triangle be as a turning point. 3. THE ALDERS NO THEASY HARBON MAIAS 2.

It was decided to engage a permanent referee and if necessary to pay pages 47-50 came out 51 him. It was deemed wise to have others than the regular members of the fleet belong to proposed yacht club and to fly the club pennant from their was the boats for the purpose of advertis- ing organization in other ports. If possible in the future it was hoped to use the yacht club at a central meeting place in conjunction with the golf and yennil clubs Due to the greater speed of the class "e" boats, it was voted to have them start ahead of the "0" boats. It was also decided to bar profession als from the helm in all classes but they would still be allowed to handle the sheets. 52 At one o'clock on Monday, August 27th, a Committee of Ladies in Bar Harbor are having a buffet luncheon at the Swimming Club for the ladies of the families of the visiting yachtsmen.

THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET 1923 The Regatta Committee of the Northeast Harbor Fleet herewith presents its report for the season of 1923. The interest in racing during this past season was the greatest in the existence of the Fleet. A new departure this year was the fact that the races in August were the only ones in which the results were scored, the July races being con- sidered as preliminary trials. Class O, organized during the winter, proved very successful and included fourteen yachts; in addition, Class C, consisting of the so-called "Eliot-Man- chester boats" was sailed. There was the same keen interest in Class A and Class B as has been shown in the past. Races were held as scheduled, weather permitting, and were enjoyed by all. The standing of yachts which took part in the races and the scores made by each are : CLASS A Standing Yacht Owner Score First Daffydill Henry Parkman 539 Second Colleen G. Davenport Hayward 497 Third Little Scamp Horace Disston 492 Fourth Hustla Lawrence W. Dickey 459 Fifth Kipper G. H. Milliken 409 Sixth Mecoh II.

In addition the Regatta Com- mittee has, through the kindness of several of the friends of the Fleet,. awarded silver cups. Mrs. Charles D. Dickey has presented "The Stephen Whitney Dickey Memorial Cup" under the terms of the gift, this cup is to remain in the Neighborhood House, Northeast Harbor, as a permanent me- morial to Stephen Whitney Dickey, Second Lieutenant 110th U. S. Infantry, 28th Division, A. E. F., who was killed during the War. The name and owner of the winning yacht in Class A is engraved on the cup, and a small replica is given to the owner of the winning yacht. Mrs. M.E. Olmsted has presented the "Class O Trophy," which must be won twice by the same yacht owner before it becomes his or her permanent property. Two members of the Regatta Committee have presented the Class B Trophy under the same conditions as the Class O Trophy. A third member has presented a cup to the winner of Class C. The Committee is very grateful to the several donors of cups for their generosity. This year fifteen boats took part in the three-day cruise to East Blue Hill which proved even more successful than last year. The Fleet expresses its gratitude to Louis C. Madeira, to Dr. Seth M. Milliken and to the Kollegiwidgwok Yacht Club for their courtesy which made the cruise possible. On Monday, August 27th, and on Monday, September 3rd. the members of the Fleet took part in Regattas held at Bar Harbor in order to stimulate interest in yachting there. The Fleet has been organized with the following officers for 1924: Commodore-G. Davenport Hayward. Vice-Commodore-Edward W. Madeira. Secretary-Lawrence W. Dickey. Treasurer-George H. Milliken. Executive Committee--E. S. Burke, Jr., Charles D. Dickey, Malcolm E. Peabody, and the officers. A letter inviting you to become a member is being sent out.

THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET October 2, 1923. The Northeast Harbor Fleet has, during the past few years, been very successful in conducting series of yacht races. The feeling has arisen, however, that there are a number of persons at Northeast Harbor who are interested in yachting, who for one reason or another cannot take part in the races. It was, there- fore, decided at a meeting held on August 31, 1923, to organize the Northeast Harbor Fleet on a "yacht club" basis. Accord- ingly, the Fleet has been organized with the following officers. Commodore-G. Davenport Hayward Vice-Commodore-Edward W. Madeira Secretary-Lawrence W. Dickey Treasurer-George H. Milliken Executive Committee-E. S. Burke, Jr., Charles D. Dickey, Malcolm E. Peabody, and the officers. Membership, of course, carries the right to fly the Club pennant, and it is our hope that every yacht at Northeast Harbor will fly the Club pennant in 1924. All members pay an initiation fee of $10 and annual dues of $10. Dues paid now cover the period until December 31, 1924. Will you show your interest by signing the enclosed applica- tion? A copy of the Constitution and By Laws will be sent you on request. Respectfully, G. DAVENPORT HAYWARD, EDWARD W. MADEIRA, Committee. Date TO THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET: I apply for membership in the Northeast Harbor Fleet and enclose my check for $20 to cover my initiation fee and my dues for the year ending December 31. 1924. I suggest the following persons as possible members of the Fleet. Signature Address Draw checks to the order of the Northeast Harbor Fleet. MR. EDWARD W.

THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE ANNOUNCEMENT OF ACTIVITIES 1924 TO ALL MEMBERS: The Northeast Harbor Fleet looks forward to a very successful season during the summer of 1924. Arrangements are being completed to secure many conveniences for the members of the Fleet. A "Captain" has been engaged and a motorboat has been hired. The principal duty of the Captain is to perform the many duties in connec- tion with the management of the boat races. but there will be many occasions when he will be available to assist members of the fleet in the care of their boats. The motorboat will be used primarily as referee's boat, but at other times may be used by members of the club. The racing season will open on Tuesday, July 15th, and races, just as last year, will be held every Tuesday and Friday (with the exception of August 22d) until Friday, August 29th, the date of the last race. The scores of the races will be complied according to the system used in the past for the July series and for the August series. For the August series pennants will be awarded and in addition trophies presented: The "Stephen Whitney Dickey Memorial Trophy" and a cup presented by Mr. Henry Parkman, as second prize, for Class A; the Class B Trophy; the Class C Trophy and the Class O Trophy. Members desiring to enter their yachts should communicate with Mr. Edward W. Madeira, Chairman of the Regatta Committee. The entrance fee is $5.00. The Third Annual Three-Day Cruise will be held starting Friday, August 22d. The destination of the cruise will be some point in Blue Hill Bay. Full information will be issued in due course. As an innovation this year there has been arranged a series of three races between the Northeast Harbor Fleet and the Tarratine Club of Dark Harbor, on August 14th and 15th. The Northeast Harbor Fleet will send three crews of three men each to Dark Harbor where they will compete against three crews from the Tarratine Club in boats selected by lot from the ficet of the Tarratine Club. In 1925 the representatives of the Tarratine Club will race at Northeast Harbor. The details of the competition will be announced later. The club burgee, which was adopted last autumn, may be procured from either Annin & Co., 99 Fulton Street, New York, N. Y., or Chas. C. Hutchinson, 154 State Street, Boston, Mass. It is hoped that all members will procure flags and display them on their vachts. For boats in Classes A, B. C and o it is suggested that the size of flags be 16 inches by 24 inches. Please be good enough to send me the name of any person whom you believe will be interested in joining the Northeast Harbor Fleet. Faithfully, GEORGE DAVENPORT HAYWARD, Commodore.

Edward i. Madeira, Chairman, THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET RACING INSTRUCTIONS 1924 1 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET RACING INSTRUCTIONS 1924 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET Racing Instructions 1924 The Northeast Harbor Fleet will conduct yacht races similar to those held in the past years on Tuesday and Friday of each week during the period beginning Tues- day, July 15th, and ending Friday, August 29th, with the exception of Friday, August 22nd. For these races the following conditions will be ob- served. ENTRIES.-Races will be sailed for the following classes: Class A: Eastern Yacht Club 17-foot class. Class B: North Haven-Isleboro-Bar Harbor 171/2- foot class. Class C: Eliot-Manchester boats. Class O: Northeast Harbor 15-foot class. Races will be sailed boat for boat in each class. No light sails are permitted in Class A and Class B. Light sails are permitted in Class C and Class O. Boats in Class C must observe special regulations for that class. Members of the Fleet desiring to enter their boats should forward their entrance fee of $5.00 to EDWARD W. MADEIRA, Chairman Regatta Committee. The Regatta Committee will assign to each boat a racing num- ber, which must be displayed during the races. EQUIPMENT.-Each boat must carry a suitable anchor and line, a compass and one life preserver for each person on board. CREWS.-There is no limit to the number of per- sons who may be carried on board. Professionals shall not handle the tillers of any boats. STARTING AND FINISHING LINE.-The starting and finishing line consists of three marks anchored in a triangle off the entrance to Northeast Harbor. The sides of the triangle are SO arranged that for every course there is a starting and a finishing line perpendicular to the direction sailed to the first buoy and from the second buoy. The northern mark flies a red flag, the eastern a white flag and the western a blue flag.

The courses for Class C and Class o will be announced immediately after the start of Class B. SCORING.-Each boat finishing a race will be given credit under the system adopted last year. This system is: The boat finishing first in a race receives 100 points; the boat finishing second receives 100 points minus the boat quotient finishing of 100 divided by the number of of 100 third, 100 points minus twice starters; the the shown in divided by the number of starters, and so quotient on, as the following table: TABLE OF POINTS AWARDED TO YACHTS FINISHING Place Number of Starters 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 1st 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 2nd 100 100 100 100 50 67 100 75 100 80 83 100 86 100 88 3rd 89 90 91 92 33 92 50 60 93 67 93 71 75 78 4th 80 82 83 85 25 86 40 50 87 57 63 67 70 5th 73 75 77 79 20 80 33 43 50 56 60 6th 64 67 69 71 73 17 29 38 44 50 55 58 7th 62 64 67 14 25 33 40 45 50 54 8th 57 60 13 22 30 36 42 46 50 9th 53 11 20 27 33 39 43 47 10th 10 18 25 31 36 40 11th 9 17 23 29 33 12th 8 15 21 27 13th 8 14 20 14th 7 13 15th 7 Scores made by each boat will be computed twice, once for the series of races held in July and once for the series held in August. The winners in each class in the August series will be awarded trophies subject to the provisions of the deeds of gift: The Stephen Whitney Dickey Memorial Trophy for Class A and the trophy pre- sented by Mr. Henry Parkman for second prize; the Class B Trophy; the Class C Trophy and the Class o Trophy. In addition pennants will be awarded. TIME LIMIT.-In case no boat finishes within three hours after the starting signal for Class A, the race will not count. Such races will not be resailed. FOULS.-In case one boat fouls another, the boat the committing the foul shall immediately withdraw from race. PROTESTS.-Protests of any sort to be considered by the Committee must be in writing and must be placed in the hands of the Committee before midnight of the day following the race in which the alleged foul was com- mitted. Protests must state clearly all facts upon which the alleged foul is based. POSTPONEMENTS.-In case of inclement weather, the races will be postponed until the next favorable day. Contestants should get in touch with the Committee. RACING RULES.- In any case not covered by these instructions the American Yacht Racing Rules as given in the "Handbook of Yacht Racing Rules," (2d Ed.), by Messrs. Parsons, Macdonough and Spedden, will govern. Each boat owner should procure a copy of this book, which may be obtained from "Yachting," 90 Fifth Ave- nue, New York City. For the convenience of boat owners, extracts from the "American Yacht Racing Rules" are set forth below. The Committee hopes that all will co-operate to make the races a success. In order that there may be the greatest possible number of starters in each race, those who are prevented from sailing their boats are requested to obtain substitutes. It is the wish of the Committee that the keen spirit of friendly competition, which has been the tradition of these races in the past, will always be present and that anything to mar the good sportsman- ship of the races will be entirely lacking.

(B) Wind Aft-A yacht with the wind aft is deemed to have the wind on the side opposite to that on which she is carrying her main boom. (C) Overlapping and Clear-Two yachts sailing the same or nearly the same course are said to be over- lapping when either yacht has no longer a free choice on which side of the other she shall pass, and the overlap continues to exist so long as the leeward yacht by luffing, or the windward yacht by bearing away, is in danger of fouling. Otherwise they are said to be clear. (D) Overtaking-Of two yachts sailing the same or nearly the same course, the one clear astern, if ap- proaching the other so as to involve an overlap, is said to be the overtaking yacht, and she continues such after the yachts overlap until she has again drawn clear. (E) Luffing-A yacht is luffing when she SO alters wind. her course as to sail a course more nearly into the (F) Mark-A mark is any vessel, boat, buoy, or other object used to indicate the course. RIGHT-OF-WAY When one yacht is approaching another yacht, SO as to involve the risk of fouling, one of them shall keep clear of the other as follows: 1. Right-of-Way on Different Points of Sailing-A yacht free shall keep clear of one close-hauled. 2. Right-of-Way on Same Point of Sailing, with Wind on Opposite Sides. (a) When both yachts are close-hauled and have the wind on opposite sides, the yacht with the wind on the port side shall keep clear. (b) When both yachts are free, or both have the wind aft, and have the wind on op- posite sides, the yacht with the wind on the port side shall keep clear. 3. Right-of-Way on Same Point of Sailing, with Wind on Same Side-When both yachts are free, or both have the wind aft and have the wind on the same side, the yacht to windward shall keep clear. 4. Right-of-Way Converging Close-Hauled-When two yachts, both close-hauled on the same tack, are con- verging by reason of the leeward yacht holding a better wind and neither can claim the rights of a yacht being overtaken, then the yacht to windward shall keep clear. 5. Right-of-Way. Altering course-When of two yachts one is obliged to keep clear, the other [subject to the provisions of Section 6, Clause (a) ], shall not so alter her course as to involve the risk of fouling. 6. Right-of-Way. Overtaking, Luffing and Bearing Away-A yacht overtaking another yacht shall keep clear of the overtaken yacht. The provisions of this section override Section 2 (b), Section 3 and Section 5 of this Rule. (a) Passing to Windward - Provided that the overtaking yacht makes her over- lap on the side opposite to that on which the overtaken yacht then carries her main boom, the overtaken yacht may luff as she pleases to prevent an overtaking yacht passing her to windward until the over- taken yacht is in such a position that her bowsprit end, or stem head, if she has no bowsprit, would strike the overtaking yacht abaft the main shrouds, when her right to luff further from her course shall cease. (b) Passing to Leeward-An overtaken yacht must never bear away to prevent an- other yacht from passing her to leeward- the lee side to be considered that on which the leading yacht of the two carries her main boom. The overtaking yacht must not luff until she has drawn clear ahead of the yacht which she has overtaken. 7. Right-of-Way. Rights on New Course-A yacht shall not be entitled to her rights on a new course: (a) Until she has filled away. (b) If she so alters her course as to in- volve the immediate risk of fouling another yacht which, owing to her position, cannot keep clear. 8. Right-of-Way. Passing and Rounding Marks- If an overlap exists between two yachts when both of them, without tacking, are about to pass a mark on a required side, then the outside yacht must give the in- side yacht room to pass clear of the mark. A yacht shall not, however, be justified in attempt- ing to establish an overlap and thus force a passage be- tween another yacht and the mark after the latter yacht has altered her helm for the purpose of rounding. 9. Right-of-Way. Obstruction to Sea Room-When a yacht is approaching a shore, shoal, pier, rock, vessel, or other dangerous obstruction, and cannot go clear by altering her course without fouling another yacht, then the latter shall, on being hailed by the Club member in charge of the former, at once give room; and in case one yacht is forced to tack or to bear away in order to give room, the other shall also tack or bear away as the case may be at as near the same time as is possible without danger of fouling. But should such obstruction be a designated mark of the course, a yacht forcing another to tack under the provisions of this section shall be dis- qualified. (See Rule XIX, Section 2, where this rule is particularly referred to.) A vessel under way (including another yacht rac- ing) of which the yacht concerned has to keep out of the way, ranks as an obstruction for the purpose of this rule. RULE XIV-Accidents Each yacht shall render every possible assistance to any vessel or person in peril, and if in the judgment of the Regatta Committee she shall have thereby injured her chances of winning, they shall order the race resailed be- tween such yacht and the winner in her class. RULE XIX-Disqualifications 1. Each yacht must go fairly around the course, and in rounding each specified mark her track from the preceding to the following mark must enclose it on the required side. A yacht touching a mark, unless wrong- fully compelled to do so by another yacht, shall at once abandon the race. 2. If a yacht, in consequence of her neglect of any of these Rules, shall foul another yacht, or compel an- other yacht to foul any yacht, mark, or obstruction, or to run aground, she shall be disqualified and shall pay all damages; and any yacht which shall wrongfully cause an- other to luff, bear away, or tack, in order to avoid foul- ing, or shall without due cause compel another yacht to give room or to tack under Section 9, Rule XII, or shall herself fail to tack or to bear away, as required in that Section, or shall in any other way infringe or fail to comply with any of these Rules or attempt to win a race by other means than fair sailing and superior speed and skill, shall be disqualified. 4. The Regatta Committee shall without a protest disqualify any yacht, should they know prior to the con- clusion of the race that she has committed a breach of these Rules. 80 of THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE Captain Clifford Stanley has been engaged for the season. His principal duties will be in connection with the yacht races, but at such times as he is unengaged, he will be available to as- sist members in the care of their yachts. He may be reached at Harborside Float; telephone Northeast Harbor 67-2. A motorboat has been chartered. From time to time, this boat will be available for the use of members at the rate of $1.00 per hour. Arrangements may be made with Captain Clifford Stanley.

Swan Special to the Transcript: Cruises by small boats of several well- known yacht clubs have proved very popu- lar this season, and while not on so large a scale as those held by the Eastern and New York Yacht clubs as regards distance and daily runs, have nevertheless proved of considerable benefit and have served to vary the racing. The New Bedford and Rhode Island Yacht clubs held such events earlier in the season, and last Sunday the Northenst Harbor fleet finished an enjoy- able three days' trip to Blue HIII. Next week the Plcon Yach Club, which holds the junior championship, will run across the bay to Hull for the women's championship 05 Sept. 3 and 4. as It Is expected that several Marblehese crews will endeavor to add to the championship honors of the old port. The Northeast Harbor fleet started on Friday for the camp of Mr. Louis C. Ma- deira at Seal Cove, under the shadow of the famous hill that lies about ten miles to the westward of Mt. Desert. Nearly forty boats in four classes were entered for the run, including Daffydill owned by Mrs. Henry Parkman of Boston: Atlanta, owned by E. B. Dane, Jr., of Brookline, and Cara, owned by W. K. Sturges of Boston. Classus A and B were composed of boats sufficient- ly large to enable three or four persons to live on board. In Classes C and o the boys slept on board, but "messed" ashore. The regatta committee issued elaborate instructions for the cruise, going so far as to suggest mess equipment, the proper kind of bedding, even down to mosquito netting, and also recommended menus for seven meals, all of which will be helpful to those planning more extensive jaunts along shore, and of course must be regarded as part of the education of the younger generation. Several of the yachts of the Terratine Club of Dark Harbor and of the Kollegt- widgwok Yacht Club of East Blue Hill joined the Northeast Harbor fleet at Seal Harbor. The cost per person on the C and o class yachts for food for the three days was $5. which shows that Northeast Har- bor is making good progress in solving the high cost of living problem. The cruise was under the management of Ed- ward W. Madeira, chairman of the regatta committee, who has been an Inspiration to yachting at Mt. Desert for several years The cruise of the Pleon Yacht Club will be under the leadership of Commodore Richard S. Thayer, the first Massachusetts Junior Championship skipper. and brother of Harry B. Thayer, who won the Scars Cup for the club last week. The club will have the use of several of the S boats as well as one or two Manchester 17-footers corresponding to the Class C boats used at Northeast Harbor. The Pleon aquadron will probably run up to Hull on Tuesday, Sept. 2, and return on Thursday. The sug- gestions issued to the Rest home 143 Suruth Race august Series Usa. aug 27.

The interest in racing continued to increase during the past season. The boats in Class A were added to the fleet and several boats changed hands. The Fleet flag was flown by many yachts not of the racing classes. The four racing classes were the same as in 1923. There were, in all, thirty-eight boats competing in the August series of races. These were held on Tuesdays and Fridays, weather permitting. There were eight regular races which counted for points.

THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE New York, February 26, 1925. To the Members: In sending out the bills for Twenty Dollars, dues for 1925, I used the amount of the bill which I paid last year when I was not Treasurer. Last year's bill covered Ten Dollars initiation fee and Ten Dollars dues, and the bill for this year should have been for Ten Dollars, for dues only. I am returning to all the members who have paid Twenty Dollars this year, check for Ten Dollars. Those who have not already paid, should send checks for Ten Dollars. I regret the inconvenience caused you by my error. Very truly yours, Treasurer. COPY February 17, 1925 Mr. Edward W. Madeira, 104 College Hall, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Madeira: I have read with interest your letter of February 16th, and I have analyzed last year's expenses which were $1688.04, $250 of which was rent for the motor boat and $800 purchase price, which left us $68 in debt at the end of the year. In our last year's receipts we had a special donat- ion of 50 from Mrs. Parkman and $36.82 balance from Mess Fund. If we assume that our expenses for the coming year will be exactly what they were last year, without the rent of the motor boat and the purchase price, our expenses will be $638. - $10 dues from 66 members would leave us EL $22 balance. I think this is running pretty close. I think it would help a lot if we could include in one bill the dues of $10 and $5 for the entrance fee to races. As we have some twenty odd members who do not race, we would have one hundred to one hundred and fifty dollars additional income. I agree with Cham Jefferys that it is annoying to pay dues and then pay an additional amount for entrance feeg I have closely examined the membership list, and I find six members who might possibly object to the extra $5 if we change our dues from the present rate of $10, and $5 additional entrance fee, to $20 flat. I think that if there are six ( that is approximately 10% of our membership) we ought not to raise the dues. This is not a business organization. Twenty-eight of our members have paid the $20 dues without comment. As I wrote you some days ago, I suppose the lack of comment is due to the fact that they paid $20 last year. Mr. Horton has looked up the letter from Jefferys #2 - Mr.Edward W.Madeira February 17, 1925 and finds that he did advise him that the dues were $10, consequently, he is much mortified to think that he copied a last year's bill rather than asking me about the apparent discrepancy before having the new bills printed.

To the Members of the Executive Committee: I ask the approval of the members of the Executive Committee upon the following propositions: 1. The enclosed circular, which will be issued about June 15th. 2. I would like to extend an invitation to the Winter Harbor Yacht Club, the Bar Harbor Yacht Club, the Seal Harbor Yacht Club, the Kollegiwidgwok Yacht Club, the North Haven Yacht Club, and the Tarratine Yacht Club to participate in our fourth annual three-day cruise provided their members live aboard their own boats. I feel that our cruise is the feature which well can be expanded and by inviting these Clubs to participate I believe we can do much for yachting on the coast of Maine. Besides, every year the Bar Harbor Yacht Club act as hosts to all yachtsmen on their regatta day. I feel that we should do something to entertain the neighboring yachts- men and the cruise is our best opportunity. 3. I should like authority to appoint several committees which are at present not authorized. (1) A Membership Committee to increase membership. (2) A Committee on arrangements for the Tarratine Club races. (3) A Committee on arrangements for the three-day cruise. 4. I should like authority to enter into negotiations with the Seal Harbor Yacht Club with a view to having their M.D.I. boats sail as a fifth class in our Tuesday and Friday races. I believe that this expansion of our races will be of assistance to yachting. Will you not be kind enough to advise me of your approval or disapproval of these four propositions? I am contemplating, under the By-Laws, the appointment of a fleet captain, fleet surgeon, and fleet chaplain. Taunes Wishadeva EDWARD W.

Announcement - 1925. The activities of the Northeast Harbor Fleet during the summer of 1925 will be much the same as in previous years. The racing season will commence with the races on Friday, July 17th, and will continue as usual, with races on Tuesday and Friday afternoons to include the races on Friday, September 4th. There will be no race on Friday, August 21st. Scores will be computed for the July series and the August series (which will include the races in September). The usual pennants and prizes will be award- ed in the August series. Those desiring to enter their yachts in these races should advise Mr. A. Reginald Allen, Northeast Harbor, Secretary of the Regatta Committee and send him the entrance fee of $5.00. The Regatta Committee may refuse to grant credit for participation in races until the entrance fee is paid. The Fourth Annual Three Day Cruise will be held starting on Friday, August 21st. The Annual regatta with the Tarratine Club of Dark Harbor will be held at Northeast Harbor early in August. Attention is called to the fact that the Fleet burgee may be procured from either Annin & Company, 99 Fulton Street, New York, N.Y. or Chas. C. Hutchinson, 154 State Street, Boston, Mass. Members are asked to display burgees on their yachts. The proper Size for yachts in the racing classes is 16 inches by 24 inches. The Fleet desires to include in its membership all persons at Northeast Harbor or in its vicinity who are interested in yachting. Members are urged to propose for membership such persons as may be qualified. In the past year, the Fleet has suffered a severe loss in the untimely death of Commodore George Davenport Hayward. His en- thusiasm, his energy, and his keen Sportsmanship were vital factors in developing this organization. It remains for us to carry on in a worthy manner the work which he so capably began. C. P.

And such a sportsman was Commodore George Davenport Hayward of the Nerth- east Harbor Fleet, who has cast off and started on the great voyage. 178 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET 1925 Schedule of Events Regular races: Every Tuesday and Friday afternoon July 17th to September 4th.

This system is: The yacht finishing first in a race receives 100 points the yacht finishing second receives 100 points minus the quotient of 100 divided by the number of starters; the boat finishing third, 100 points minus twice the quotient of 100 divided by the number of starters, and so on, as shown in the following table: TABLE OF POINTS AWARDED TO YACHTS FINISHING Number of Starters Place 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 1st 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 2nd 50 67 75 80 83 86 88 89 90 91 92 92 93 93 94 94 94 95 95 3rd 33 50 60 67 71 75 78 80 82 83 85 86 87 88 88 89 90 90 4th 25 40 50 57 63 67 70 73 75 77 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 5th 20 33 43 50 56 60 64 67 69 71 73 75 77 78 79 SO 6th 17 29 38 44 50 55 58 62 64 67 69 71 72 74 75 7th 14 25 33 40 46 50 54 57 60 63 65 67 68 70 8th 13 22 30 36 42 46 50 53 56 59 61 63 65 9th 11 20 27 33 39 43 47 50 53 56 58 60 10th 10 18 25 31 36 40 44 47 50 53 55 11th 9 17 23 29 33 38 41 44 47 50 12th 8 15 21 27 31 35 39 42 45 13th 8 14 20 25 29 33 37 40 14th 7 13 19 24 28 32 35 15th 7 13 18 22 26 30 16th 6 12 17 21 25 17th 6 11 16 20 18th 6 11 15 19th 5 10 5 20th Scores made by each yacht will be computed twice, once for the series of races held in July and once for the series held in August (which includes the races in Sep- tember). The winners in each class in the August series will be awarded trophies subject to the provisions of the deeds of gift: The Stephen Whitney Dickey Memorial Trophy and the Henry Parkman Cup as first and second prize in Class A; the Class B Trophy; the Class C Trophy and the Class o Trophy. In addition, the usual pennants will be awarded. TIME LIMIT.-The Time Limit is three hours from the starting signal for each class, except for Courses Nos. 9 and 10, for which there is no limit. No races will be resailed. FOULS.-It is important that a protest be filed in every case of apparent violation of the racing rules. In case of a foul, a yacht clearly at fault should withdraw from the race. PROTESTS.-Protests - must be in writing and must be placed in the hands of the Chairman of the Committee before 6 p. m. of the day following the race in which the alleged violation of the racing rules was committed. A protest must state clearly all facts upon which it is based. If possible, notice should be given to the Referee at the conclusion of the race of the intention to file a protest. POSTPONEMENTS.-In case of inclement weather, the races will be postponed until the next favorable day. Contestants should keep in touch with the Committee. RACING RULES.-In any case not covered by these instructions the racing rules of the New York Yacht Club of 1923 as interpreted in the "Handbook of American Yacht Racing Rules" (2d Ed.) will govern. Each yacht owner should procure a copy of this book from "Yacht- ing," 25 West 43rd Street, New York City. For the convenience of yacht owners, extracts from the racing rules of the New York Yacht Club (1923) are set forth below. The Committee hopes that all will co-operate to make the races a success. In order that there may be the greatest possible number of starters in each race, those who are prevented from sailing their yachts are requested to obtain substitutes. It is the wish of the Committee that the keen spirit of friendly competition, which has been the tradition of these races in the past, will continue. FREDERIC O. SPEDDEN, Vice-Commodore and Chairman, Regatta Committee. EXTRACTS FROM YACHT RACING RULES RULE - Amenable to Racing Rules A yacht shall be amenable to the Racing Rules from the time the preparatory signal for her class is made, and shall continue so until her entire hull and spars have passed across the finish line. After crossing the finishing line a yacht shall not interfere with any yacht still in the race. RULE X-Start and Finish 4. The time at the start and finish shall be taken when the foremast on a Schooner and the mainmast on a Sloop or Yawl first crosses the line after the starting signal has been made. 5. If this point in any yacht [the foremast on a Schooner and the mainmast on a Sloop or Yawl] be across the line when the starting signal is made, she must return and start again. 6. A yacht so returning, or one working into posi- tion from the wrong side of the line after the signal for starting has been made, must keep clear of and give way to all competing yachts. RULE XII-Right-of-Way DEFINITIONS (A) Close-hauled_A yacht is close-hauled when sailing by the wind as close as she can lay with advantage in working to windward. (B) Wind Aft-A yacht with the wind aft is deemed to have the wind on the side opposite to that on which she is carrying her main boom. (C) Overlapping and Clear-Two yachts sailing the same or nearly the same course are said to be over- lapping when either yacht has no longer a free choice on which side of the other she shall pass, and the overlap continues to exist so long as the leeward yacht by luffing, or the windward yacht by bearing away, is in danger of fouling. Otherwise they are said to be clear. (D) Overtaking-Of two yachts sailing the same or nearly the same course, the one clear astern, if ap- proaching the other so as to involve an overlap, is said to be the overtaking yacht, and she continues such after the yachts overlap until she has again drawn clear. (E) Luffing-A yacht is luffing when she so alters her course as to sail a course more nearly into the wind. (F) Mark-A mark is any vessel, boat, buoy, or other object used to indicate the course. RIGHT-OF-WAY When one yacht is approaching another yacht, SO as to involve the risk of fouling, one of them shall keep clear of the other as follows: 1. Right-of-Way on Different Points of Sailing-A yacht free shall keep clear of one close-hauled. 2. Right-of-Way on Same Point of Sailing, with Wind on Opposite Sides. (a) When both yachts are close-hauled and have the wind on opposite sides, the yacht with the wind on the port side shall keep clear. (b) When both yachts are free, or both have the wind aft, and have the wind on op- posite sides, the yacht with the wind on the port side shall keep clear. 3. Right-of-Way on Same Point of Sailing, with Wind on Same Side-When both yachts are free, or both have the wind aft and have the wind on the same side, the yacht to windward shall keep clear. 4. Right-of-Way Converging Close-HauledWhen two yachts, both close-hauled on the same tack, are con- verging by reason of the leeward yacht holding a better wind and neither can claim the rights of a yacht being overtaken, then the yacht to windward shall keep clear. 5. Right-of-Way. Altering course-When of two yachts one is obliged to keep clear, the other [subject to the provisions of Section 6, Clause (a) ], shall not so alter her course as to involve the risk of fouling. 6. Right-of-Way. Overtaking, Luffing and Bearing Away-A yacht overtaking another yacht shall keep clear of the overtaken yacht. The provisions of this section override Section 2 (b), Section 3 and Section 5 of this Rule. (a) Passing to Windward - Provided that the overtaking yacht makes her over- lap on the side opposite to that on which the overtaken yacht then carries her main : boom, the overtaken yacht may luff as she pleases to prevent an overtaking yacht passing her to windward until the over- taken yacht is in such a position that her bowsprit end, or stem head, if she has no bowsprit, would strike the overtaking yacht abaft the main shrouds, when her right to luff further from her course shall cease. (b) Passing to Leeward-An overtaken yacht must never bear away to prevent an- other yacht from passing her to leeward- the lee side to be considered that on which the leading yacht of the two carries her main boom. The overtaking yacht must not luff until she has drawn clear ahead of the yacht which she has overtaken. 7. Right-of-Way. Rights on New Course-A yacht shall not be entitled to her rights on a new course: (a) Until she has filled away. (b) If she so alters her course as to in- volve the immediate risk of fouling another yacht which, owing to her position, cannot keep clear. 8. Right-of-Way. Passing and Rounding Marks- If an overlap exists between two yachts when both of them, without tacking, are about to pass a mark on a required side, then the outside yacht must give the in- side yacht room to pass clear of the mark. A yacht shall not, however, be justified in attempt- ing to establish an overlap and thus force a passage be- tween another yacht and the mark after the latter yacht has altered her helm for the purpose of rounding. 9. Right-of-Way. Obstruction to Sea Room-When a yacht is approaching a shore, shoal, pier, rock, vessel, or other dangerous obstruction, and cannot go clear by altering her course without fouling another yacht, then the latter shall, on being hailed by the Club member in charge of the former, at once give room; and in case one yacht is forced to tack or to bear away in order to give room, the other shall also tack or bear away as the case may be at as near the same time as is possible without danger of fouling. But should such obstruction be a designated mark of the course, a yacht forcing another to tack under the provisions of this section shall be dis- qualified. (See Rule XIX, Section 2, where this rule is particularly referred to.) A vessel under way (including another yacht rac- ing) of which the yacht concerned has to keep out of the way, ranks as an obstruction for the purpose of this rule. RULE XIV-Accidents Each yacht shall render every possible assistance to any vessel or person in peril, and if in the judgment of the Regatta Committee she shall have thereby injured her chances of winning, they shall order the race resailed be- tween such yacht and the winner in her class. RULE XIX-Disqualifications 1. Each yacht must go fairly around the course, and in rounding each specified mark her track from the preceding to the following mark must enclose it on the required side. A yacht touching a mark, unless wrong- fully compelled to do so by another yacht, shall at once abandon the race. 2. If a yacht, in consequence of her neglect of any of these Rules, shall foul another yacht, or compel an- other yacht to foul any yacht, mark, or obstruction, or to run aground, she shall be disqualified and shall pay all damages; and any yacht which shall wrongfully cause an- other to luff, bear away, or tack, in order to avoid foul- ing, or shall without due cause compel another yacht to give room or to tack under Section 9, Rule XII, or shall herself fail to tack or to bear away, as required in that Section, or shall in any other way infringe or fail to comply with any of these Rules or attempt to win a race by other means than fair sailing and superior speed and skill, shall be disqualified. 4. The Regatta Committee shall without a protest disqualify any yacht, should they know prior to the con- clusion of the race that she has committed a breach of these Rules. 1 180 Minutes of Meeting of the Executive Committee of The Northeast Harbor Fleet, held July 1925, at the residence of the Commodore, Mr. Edward W.

P THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET Please read carefully Subject: Clubhouse TO THE MEMBERS OF THE FLEET: At the annual meeting of the Fleet on August 29th, there was a strong feeling in favor of securing an appropriate clubhouse. The of. - ficers of the Fleet have investigated the available sites and have found a property suitable in every way which, it is believed, can be purchased at an advantageous price. Before going further, the officers want to find out the sentiments of each member of the Fleet. Will you not, therefore, reply to these questions:- 1. Do you think that the Fleet should have a simple and appropriate clubhouse? In favor of this proposition are the arguments that such a house would provide an attractive meeting place for members of the Fleet, that it would permit of discussions both before and after races, and that it would be both helpful and hospitable to yachtsmen visiting Northeast Har - bor. Against it is the apprehension that the atmosphere of such a meeting place might prove unattractive and that thereby the racing might be made less pleasant. 2. If you answer the first question in the affirmative, will you: a. Contribute to the purchase of the clubhouse? b. Pay the annual dues which must of necessity be increased? Financing will be so arranged that those who contribute to the purchase of the property will have the right to possess themselves of it in case of the failure of the Club, and will receive the benefit of any increase in its value. Running expenses will be covered by an increase in dues. It is estimated that $20,000 will be required for purchasing the property and making a few additions and changes, and that $2,500 will be required for running expenses. The bulk of these sums must come from the summer residents of Northeast Harbor. A number of persons already have offered to subscribe, but we want to hear your opinion. Will you please let me know as soon as pos- sible? Edward W. Madeira, Commodore University of Pennsylvania, September 21st, 1925. THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE Subject: New yachts. To the members of the Fleet: At the conclusion of the racing season, a number of persons ex- pressed their desire to purchase yachts eligible for the racing classes. The firm of Rice Brothers, Inc., of East Boothbay, Maine, therefore, has been invited to submit estimates for the construction during the coming winter of yachts built according to the plans of Class A, Class B, and Class 0. The estimates are: Class A $1750 Class B (Islesboro type) $1580 Class o $1050 At this price, yachts are to be delivered at Northeast Harbor. Rice Brothers for a number of years have built the yachts of Islesboro fleet, and it is believed that they will prove to be reliable in every way. If you are interested in purchasing a yacht, will you not let me know in order that I may forward a contract for your signature? It will be of assistance if you will submit the names of any other persons you think will be interested in purchasing yachts. One yacht of Class B (Bar Harbor type) built in 1912 and in good condition is on the market. I shall be glad to furnish additional infor- mation. Please call upon me if there is anything further that I can do. Faithfully, Edward W. Madeira, Commodore. u. OF F., PHILA. 192 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET November 20, 1925. SUBJECT: Last call for "A" boats. The response to the announcement that new Class "A" boats would be built for 1926 has been satisfactory and six boats have been ordered. The purchasers are: Frederic E. Camp, Jr. Samuel W. Morris, Reginald C. Robbins, Walter H. Lippincott, Percy H. Clark, Dr. Frederick Fraley. In addition, two boats of this class have been ordered for use at Quissett Harbor, Mass. It is necessary that the builder should know by January 1st how many boats of this class are to be built for next year. If you are considering purchasing a boat, will you not write to me immediately in order that I may send you a contract for your signature? Faithfully yours, Edward W.

Mr. Howard Cooper Johnson has suggested that the Club procure insignia for yachting caps. These insignia will require the investment of about $50, all of which will be repaid to the Club when the insignia are sold.

Dear Sir: The enclosed form gives the particulars of your Club as published in the 1925 Yacht Reg- ister; will you kindly revise it, giving the new officers for 1926, and return it as soon as possible. Of the 600 forms sent out to Yacht Clubs each year, less than 50 per cent are returned promptly, and it is ultimately necessary to send out a second letter to some 200 clubs, and even a third to about half as many. If you will return the form promptly,or, if no longer in office, hand it to your successor or another officer of the Club, it will avoid the necessity for a second letter. FLAGS To meet the general demand of Yachtsmen, the full collection of flags, Burgees of Yacht Clubs and Private Signals of Yachtsmen, will be included in the 1926 Register, thoroughly revised to date. Owing to the time necessary for this work, it is essential that sketches of flags, in correct colors, shall be sent in at the earliest possible moment. The Flag Plates of the Register may also be had separately, in a flexible binding of blue cloth. Price $3.00. PRICES The prices of the Register will be the same as last year: Blue Cloth Edition, $14.00; Canvas Edition, $12.00. DATE OF PUBLICATION To attain its full measure of utility a Yacht Register should be in the hands of subscribers by the beginning of June; and yet it should contain the latest information of new yachts, much of which is not obtainable before May. It is the desire of the publishers to have the book shipped in the last week of May, but this can be possible only through the co-operation of owners, designers, builders and others in the prompt return of forms and prompt replies to inquiries. Please revise and return this form AT ONCE, sending any later particulars as they come to hand. There is no charge for the publication of the particulars of yachts or yacht clubs, it is not even required that the owner or club shall be a subscriber, but it is hoped that all who feel that the Register is an essential part of American yachting, useful both to themselves and to their club, will use their efforts towards increasing the circulation.

Dear Champ: Enclosed herewith are two clippings from the Boston Transcript which were sent to me by the Yachting Editor. I suggest that you incorporate them in the Fleet note book. I have been thinking over the remark you made to me that you would not be at Northeast Harbor very much this summer. There are a number of duties which are connected with the office of secretary which ought to be carried out rather promptly and I think that the better plan would be for you to resign and have the Executive Committee elect Bobby Johnson. He has done a great amount of work in the B class and has taken a large amount of interest and I feel that he would appreciate the honor of being secretary. However, you do what you think best.

DESERT WATERS TO BE EXTENSIVE THIS YEAR Visits from Three Well-Known Clubs This Season to Aid Interest There MANY NEW BOATS Northeast Harbor Fleet to Contain Twenty-Five Class A Boats, Eight of Them New By William U. Swan Yacht racing on Mt. Desert waters dur- ing the coming summer is likely to be far more extensive and intensive than for many years, with augmented fleets at Northeast, Seal and Bar Harbors and visits from the squadrons of three well known clubs, the Eastern, Boston and Tarratine. The season at Mt. Desert, however, is comparatively brief, and this year will not start until mid-July, ending sharply on the Friday before Labor Day. But in those seven weeks will be crowded nearly forty races inside the Cranberry, Sutton and Porcupine Islands and the great cliffs will echo an almost continuous fusillade of sig- nal guns. The Northeast Harbor Fleet will have eight new boats in Class A, which Is com- posed of seventeen-footers, projected for Marblehead before the war by Edwin A. Boardman, and which have gradually drifted down the coast. There will be twenty-five boats in this class and it may be necessary to split it into two divisions to prevent crowding at the line. The next section Is known as Class B and is also a seventeen-foot aggregation and known along the coast as the Man- chesters. They are popular also at Marble- head, Quissett, Cohasset and Islesboro and have proved themselves in many a nard blow.
