Picnics, gatherings, and BBQs were reignited after the three years of pandemic restrictions. Being able to enjoy our Fleet House and share sea stories with our friends felt oh SO welcomed once again. The new policy of awarding the perpetual trophies on the day of an event made the gatherings even more festive. Winners can now enjoy them for the summer with a promise and a handshake to return them by Labor Day for engraving and safe keeping. Thank you, Kelsea for your fantastic organizational skills to make this all happen. At the Fourth of July opening Picnic we welcomed many new members and even more joined during the summer. Thank you Alix Smith Long for all your diligence in managing our Membership Committee. Junior student membership was also up. These young sailors are the lifeblood of our Fleet and I am thrilled to see the numbers climbing. Welcome one and all. Sailing school lessons operated at maximum capacity for most of our summer under the direction of Nick Steenberg. We had twenty-one resident students and we hope to expand that number in 2023. The August Cruise was back and was paired nicely with the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta a.k.a. the Varnish Festival. We raced in a dying breeze on Friday as we headed to The Reach, enjoying the splendor of the wooden boat race on Saturday with many spectator boats from our Fleet. On Sunday we had a boisterous race back to Gilpatrick Cove. All in all, a fun weekend which we plan to repeat this coming summer. Come join the fun. In September, we hosted the IOD North Americans. Fourteen teams competed for the trophy. Over the long weekend, our generous IOD owners loaned their boats, members opened their homes, and a host of amazing and gracious volunteers prepared and helped run the races and feed the sailors. Fran Charles and Kelsea Squires lead the charge with 6 precision, humor, and style. Once again, our humble Fleet ran a top-notch event. We should all be proud. The real showstoppers, however, were our local youth team who dominated the six race North Americans series. Sophie Dowling drove her MDI team of Alec Fisichella, Connor Ratcliff, Nate Ingebritson and Sean Beaulieu to the top step on the podium with confidence, poise and practiced teamwork. Well done. With beautiful weather most every day this past summer our docks were filled with picnickers and racers, keeping Steve Lawson and our launch drivers Tucker Charles, Liam Hollis and Ben Hulbert very busy. We appreciate everyone's hard work in keeping all of our waterfront assets operational down on the docks and keeping a keen eye out on our memberships' boats. Bill Smith, head of the Grounds Committee, and Roy Hadlock, who takes care of our waterfront assets, continue to keep our grounds, docks, and moorings at Gilpatrick and Clifton in the best shape they can be. Our Annual Meeting was held in person at the Fleet House and was also available via ZOOM. It was wonderful to be back in the Fleet House with members reviewing our year and announcing trophy winners. As you may know Fran Charles is stepping down as General Manager of the Fleet. Fran started as General Manager in 2009 and raised the level of racing in our Fleet to a professional standard that will be hard to match. His race descriptions are bar none, SO that when you read his summaries, you can recall the entire race tack for tack. His humor and style will be missed, too. We'll also miss Fran's wife Sue and son Tucker. Sue's art and photography have highlighted our summer in paintings, video, photos and our annual report which Sue has designed for eleven years. Over thirteen years, Tucker has been a popular instructor, a skilled launch driver and boatswain and has acted as a one-man Race Committee organizing and setting courses for Fleet racing throughout the fall. Thank you, Fran, Sue and Tucker for your dedication to the Fleet. We will miss you all but know you will continue to be a part of the landscape of MDI. We now welcome Nick Johnstone to the position of General Manager. Off season, he is the head coach of The Citadel, Military College of South 7 Carolina's sailing team, a role he has held since 2020. Nick swiftly helped turn the program into one of the top teams in their conference and is excited to continue that trend. Development of sailors ranging from no prior experience to helping more advanced racers reach the highest levels of college sailing has been a focal point for Nick during his time coaching The Citadel. Please reach out and welcome Nick when you see him around this summer. Planning stepped into high gear for the celebration of our 100th summer. As you have hopefully seen and heard, we have a fun and action-packed weekend planned on July 28th and 29th of 2023. Save the dates! We are also taking this unique opportunity to evaluate our physical plant and define our collective vision for our next 100 years. Our founders gave us what we have today and now it is our turn to step up, plan, and envision our Fleet now and in the future. We will kick off our celebration at our Fourth of July picnic at the Fleet House and hope all of you and your families are there to celebrate and embrace where we are and where we are going. Lastly, I want to thank John Roberts for his diligent work as our treasurer since 2017. He has made our complex trio of organizations run smoothly and seamlessly and he continues to advise us as we plan for the Centennial. Thank you, John. We had a wonderful year, and it was a joy being your Commodore. Thank you. I am looking forward to celebrating with you all as we chart our new course towards 2123! Fair winds, Mia Thompson, Commodore 8 REPORT OF THE FLEET MANAGER Our fourteenth summer with the Northeast Harbor Fleet was especially enjoyable, with our youth program at the Sailing School at maximum capacity and with sailors and families enjoying the Ventures, Teras and Arey's Pond Catboat throughout the season. Nick Steenberg and his talented and patient staff were lighting the fires of enthusiasm on a daily basis as evidenced by the fact that everyone was anxious to sail on even cold and rainy days. The facilities and grounds were very well taken care of by the team led by the multi-talented Kelsea Squires, who managed to fit this in on top of her daily responsibilities of organizing enrollment, welcoming new members, organizing parties, ordering trophies, creating invoices, making mooring assignments and creating weekly membership updates. Our launch driver staff was led by the always-ready Steve Lawson who, along with Tucker Charles, Liam Hollis and Ben Hulbert, kept all of the Fleet and SS owned boats operating well. The mooring fields are at capacity in both locations and we need new moorings for new members. Meanwhile the harbormaster has requested we move some moorings away from the busy thoroughfare to Somes Sound. We tried to accommodate both issues by proposing a plan to retract our southwest perimeter in Gilpatrick and expand our mooring field into the cove area east of the Ledge. Our neighbors, however, made it crystal clear that they did not want moorings in front of their property, SO the plan has been tabled for the time being. High quality sailboat racing was one of our highest priorities and it couldn't have been a more pleasurable team to work with. Sue Charles assisted on every weekend and captured many images of folks enjoying the fun against the gorgeous natural backdrop of Mount Desert Island. Brit Van Alen, Maddie Marron, Alec Fisichella, and Campbell and Moose Herrington all 9 made significant contributions to the professional level of race management. It was very successful because of their assistance. The IOD Class saw a new addition this summer with Ned Johnston in the flying Gosling joining the competition and winning the July series fresh out of the box. Peter Ill in his Silver Spray came back to win the August Series, teaching everyone a lesson in consistency. In a victory for inclusion and in the future of sailing, every boat now has women aboard and we are seeing the average age of participants dropping, too. A stellar team of recent graduates from the MDI Community Sailing Center cleaned house at the IOD Class North Americans which was hosted by The Fleet and organized by Steve Madeira. The Luders Class also continues to be competitive with Otto and Bill Smith pushing hard along with Ned Johnston, Bill Knowlton and Dave Folger with Auria Mauras. It is important to recognize the dedicated and stalwart efforts of Roy Hadlock in keeping all of our moorings properly maintained and set-up again every Spring. Roy does a fantastic job in taking care of our fixed piers and floating docks as well. This summer members will celebrate the centennial anniversary of the founding of the Fleet. Peter Ill, Lisa Ehrhart, Mia Thompson and Sue Charles worked on marketing. Gala Committee members Chris Groobey, Joe Peine and Pancho Cole have planned an exciting Barn Dance with top notch musicians, The Duke Ellington Orchestra Quintet. Fleet Raft Up in The Sound with the Hayward Cup following is being organized by John Henry. It will be a gala event to remember. Now it is time for Sue, Tucker and I to move in a different direction with our lives SO we can spend more time with our family during the glorious days of summer. We have enjoyed getting to know SO many people on MDI and want you all to know we appreciate how friendly everyone has been, embodying the inclusive mission surrounding the Northeast Harbor Fleet. We'll be up and about this Spring and Fall and for years to come. Warm regards, Franny Charles, Manager November 2008- May 2023 10 REPORT OF THE FLEET HISTORIAN Anticipating the centennial celebrations of 2023, the role of Fleet Historian was reconstituted and a Northeast Harbor Fleet History Committee was formed in the summer of 2022. With a new interest in the historical collections and archives of the Fleet, the first task (undertaken before the formal creation of the History Committee) was to locate and assemble everything that could be found at the Fleet House. Remarkable things turned up, such as the watercolor rendering for the proposed Fleet burgee, at left. Sometimes hiding in plain sight, but often relegated to the backs of filing cabinets or cardboard boxes, scrapbooks BURGER THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLFFT detailed the founding of the Fleet, early 1923 race records recorded the development of From the Log Book, Northeast Harbor Fleet, various one design classes, and photographs 1923, an early scrapbook in the Fleet's collections captured a bygone era. Forgotten trophies were brought out of storage and paintings were located; documents and photographs gave insight into boat models and furniture scatted throughout the building. It soon became clear that this process was going to be more extensive than anybody imagined, but also more exciting. In the late summer the Fleet joined The History Trust, a collaborative of area museums, libraries, and cultural institutions. Check out historytrust.org for more information. This membership will allow us to work with, and learn from, neighbors and colleagues, and also makes it possible to share objects and resources from the Fleet's collections through our own digital archive site: nehfleet.digitalarchive.us In the fall we engaged the History Trust to begin cataloguing our collections, allowing us to start to understand what historical materials exist within the Fleet's collection. Catalogue entries are being added to our digital archive site, and more will be added as this process continues. Several of the oldest scrapbooks were digitized over the winter, as well as a nearly-complete set of Fleet annual reports. Those will be added to our II THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NORTHEAST HARBOR MAINE AS A MEMORIAL TO GEORGE DAVENPORT HAYWARD. COMMODORE OF THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET FROM 1923 TO 1925, AND ITS INSPIRATION FOR MANY YEARS, IT IS PROPOSED TO ESTABLISH A TROPHY TO BE KNOWN AS THE GEORGE DAVENPORT HAYWARD MEMORIAL TROPHY TO BE OFFERED FOR COMPETITION AMONG YACHTS OF THE FLEET UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS AS MAY BE DÉTERMINED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE FUND WHICH IS BEING CREATED FOR THIS PURPOSE. IN ORDER THAT AS MANY AS POSSIBLE MAY PARTICIPATE IN THIS TRIBUTE TO COMMODORE HAYWARD. THE COMMITTEE ASKS THAT INDIVIDUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS BE LIMITED TO $5.00. CHECKS MAY BE SENT TO THE TREASURER OF THE COMMITTEE. MR. CHARLES D. DICKEY, 330 CHEST- NUT STREET, PHILADELPHIA. EFFIE DISSTON FRALEY CHARLES D. DICKEY EDWARD W. MADEIRA COMMITTEE From the Log Book, Northeast Harbor Fleet, 1923, an early scrapbook in the Fleet's collections digital archive this spring. By the start of summer, you'll be able to access these from home. Learning about the Fleet's history will be as easy as a trip to your computer. Beyond historical documents and objects, the History Committee has also been interested in gathering anecdotes and Fleet stories that may not have been formally recorded. Gordon Beck and Kevin Peraino planned and conducted oral histories, and gained new insight through informal - and often very funny - stories. If you'd like to be interviewed, or have a suggestion, please send an email to nehfleethistory@gmail.com. To make sure the Fleet's historical collections are cared for and preserved for the future, we have discussed and drafted policies. With these in place, we will be able to accept material donations to the Fleet collection. There are some missing annual reports in the Fleet's holdings, and maybe you can help! In its short existence, the History Committee has been very busy. I hope that having access to these materials, knowing that the originals are safer and more secure than ever before, sparks a new interest in the Fleet, and an appreciation for this impressive club. Willie Granston, Fleet Historian Chair, History Committee 12 REPORT OF THE GREEN TEAM The Fleet's Green Team had a successful summer, starting early by enlisting area boatyards in a shrink wrap recycling program that collected nearly 2,500 pounds of reusable plastic. Our 'pack it in/pack it out' no waste policy continues to reduce trash disposal on Fleet property. July brought a rejuvenated Baker Island shore clean-up. Volunteers gathered over 20 demolition bags full of refuse and a bunch of trashed lobster traps. We closed the season with an underwater clean-up of the bottom of Gilpatrick Cove in October, thanks to Diver Ed and his team of volunteers. Divers with mesh bags scoured the ocean floor and came up with 468 pieces of trash, as a dozen children and assorted adults helped rescue the sea creatures stuck inside or on the outside of old bottles, plastic containers, and other junk. For more details, photos and information on all of our important initiatives please visit the Sustainability Page on the Fleet website: https://nehfleet.org/sustainability We've made plans for a stellar Centennial season in 2023. May a fair wind follow you. Warm regards, Gordon Beck, Barbara Meyers Co-Chairs 13 FORMER_OFFICERS Commodores GEORGE DAVENPORT HAYWARD 1923-1925 EDWARD W. MADEIRA 1925-1927 W.

Scores were ignored and participation was the highlight. Many thanks to Sydney Roberts Rockefeller for creating the intriguing trophy and to Tucker Charles for running great races throughout the fall. 26 REPORT OF THE CRUISING CLASS CAPTAIN The 2022 Cruising Class season marked a return to a full slate of sailing events, out from under the long shadow of COVID. The season got off to a strong start with excellent turnouts for the Reath Trophy, the Hospice Regatta and the MDI Series for the Haaland Trophy. The very popular Double Trouble Regatta doublehanded continued to prove that shorter races with smaller crews are becoming the wave of the future. Our reinvented version of the August Cruise also proved to be very popular. Five boats joined the IOD's to sail to the Wooden Boat School for the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta. What a sight to behold the harbor with hundreds of beautiful wooden boats gathering for the race. The party onshore wasn't bad either, with a huge catered dinner and live music. On Sunday we had a superb sail back to MDI around the outer islands. If you didn't make it last year we hope you can join us in 2023. This past year marks the end of my tenure as your Class Captain as I have decided to step aside. Chris Groobey has graciously agreed to step into the role this year. As many of you know, Chris is an excellent sailor and will bring his trademark energy and enthusiasm to the role. Thank you, as always, to the Flag Officers, Race Committee and Fleet management for all of their hard work. This year we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Fleet. We hope you can join us on the water for some of the great racing and other on the water events that are planned for the year. Fair winds, Chris Hopkins, Cruising Class Captain 27 HENRY T.

Regatta organizers complimented Fleet members who made the trip and the IODs got to show off their gorgeous lines since they started ahead of all the other 126 boats gathered to race. Tom Fremont-Smith in Live Yankee got to start even farther ahead (by mistake). The breeze was light and continued its weak pressure as a SE wind faded into a localized seabreeze which never made it all the way in, leaving many boats stranded. Gambler sailed by John Henry won the ERR race by a country mile with Caribou and Eagle in chase. The race home was a spirited adventure with a long beat to Halibut Rocks from the Reach with a huge assist from the ebbing tide in a fresh southwesterly. The cruisers continued out around Swan's Island to port while the IODs stayed inside and passed through the Casco passage. It was an amazingly close race with the lead changing many times and all navigational aids being totally ignored. (This is allowed in the August Cruise each year.) Eagle won the trip home in IODs and Cybele crushed the cruising division with her big red and white asymmetric spinnaker. Tony St. Denis rambled along in Eleanor and grabbed second place for the race. Anne and Chris Hopkins captured the non-spinnaker division on Watermark. 33 AUGUST CRUISE Cruising Division August 5-7 2022 OVERALL PLACE BOAT CLASS SKIPPER 1 Cybele IMX 45 David Rockefeller Jr 2 Watermark Hinckley 42 Chris & Anne Hopkins 3 Sidewinder J 105 Tom Rolfes 4 Lark BBY 47 John Roberts 5 Eleanor Bristol 32 Tony & Kate St. Denis 6 Halcyon Stevens Custom 40 Mark Weber USA 52045 ASU Cybele's gold sails 34 AUGUST CRUISE IOD Division August 5-7 2022 OVERALL PLACE BOAT NO SKIPPER& CREW 1 Eagle 3 Courtenay Jenkins, Charlotta Jenkins 2 Freyja 19 Mia Thompson, Andrew Kennedy, Lisa Brown Ehrhart 3 Gambler 21 John Henry, Jay Henry, Jaime Torres 4 Caribou 10 David Rockefeller Jr, Chris & Carolyn Groobey 5 Magic Bus 20 Nicholas Steenberg, Eliot Hack 6 Cygnet 12 Jean Burden, Joe Peine, Pancho Cole 7 Dakota 8 Kate & Tony St. Denis 8 Live Yankee 24 Tom Fremont-Smith, Rob Van Alen 35 Sophie Hack admires a Herreshoff yacht I AUGUST CRUISE AWARDS Non-Spinnaker Class The Coxe Trophy Cygnet Jean Burden Luders 16 Thomas Gates Trophy Gambler John Henry Luders 16 Chace Memorial Bar Graph North Kate & Tony StDenis Overall First Place Spinnaker The Becton Bowl Cybele David Rockefeller Jr Overall First Place Non-Spinnaker The Nevin Cup Watermark Anne & Chris Hopkins Overall First One Design Class Edsel Ford Trophy Gambler John Henry 37 MOUNT DESERT ISLAND CRUISING CLASS SERIES FOR THE THE HAALANDS' TROPHY Dedicated to honor the lives of both Carol and Gordon Haaland who were fixtures in the MDI Cruising Class races for many years.

Eric, born in Hamburg, Germany, was an influential partner in the family bank serving maritime industries, yet in the face of Nazi persecution, Eric joined US Army intelligence and his focus became assisting in the safe escape of family and community. In the face of skepticism, adversity and fear for his own life he courageously returned to Hamburg after the war and inspired a reunion of family and community. Max, in his II-year life, was an avid sailor, and often a member of David Rockefeller's 'Cybele' crew competing on the Great Harbor. His courage was expressed in his deter- mination to beat his disease and in his many public appearances imploring the general pubic to become bone marrow transplant donors.

We had a great 2022 sailing season. The 4th of July series kicked everything off for us with fourteen boats. Commadore Mia Thompson sailed her Freyja to first place after winning the tiebreaker against Gary and Steve Maderia's Auriga. The always fast Courtenay Jenkins in Eagle kept them honest, finishing just one point behind in third place. The July Series had sixteen IODs racing and introduced us to a new crew with a recently refurbished IOD, Gosling. Ned Johnson and his super speedy team of Bill Smith, Otto Smith, Stephen Linscott, and Alex Donahue dominated the series, to win by 23 points over the defending World Champions in Live Yankee. Fred Ford and his orange Jelly Bean finished just behind in third place. The August series had nineteen IODs with different crews jumping in for one or two races. Everyone was excited to see what damage Sofie Dowling and her expert young crew could do in August after missing July without a boat. Unfortunately, these hard working college kids couldn't get enough Monday's off to compete. So, without the shirtless wonders out there, it was a slugfest between the newly crowned July series champs in Gosling VS the defending August series champ Peter Ill's Silver Spay. Peter won by making zero mistakes and Gosling settled for second place. Commodore Mia Thompson sailed very fast in Freyja to keep the boat full of gods and goddesses on the podium in third place. The fall season began with a race down Somes Sound to picnic on Labor Day and then rolled into the North American Championship. The NA's were S bit of a disappointment in the weather department as the normal northerly's from Canada never showed up, but they were definitely not a disappointment in the trophy department. In light and variable breeze Sofie Dowling, Connor Ratcliff, Lucas Ingerbrtson, Sean Beaulieu and 42 Alec Fisichella absolutely crushed the fleet of 14 IODs from all over North America and Bermuda. Ted Murphy's crew from Chester, Nova Scotia claimed second place with Bermudian Blythe Walker taking third place.. What a great way to end the season. I look forward to seeing you on and off the water when our special gatherings resume.

The L16 class competed in the L16 racing series from July 4th through the Fall series having a range of participation from five to thirteen boats on the starting line. Reviewing the results of all the series races there were eight different boats that scored results in the top three places. From the back of the fleet to the front, every position is well earned. I recall a quintessential Friday afternoon in the middle of the summer, the breeze was out of the west 5 -12 knots, tide was ebbing and the sky was crystal clear. Shearwater was starting the races in the center of the Great Freight Train to your Love Baby, Fiona & Seawolf Harbor and the windward mark was T, the red nun off the SWH Coast Guard station. After the start, boats went upwind to the right towards Greenings Island, up the middle to SWH and to the left towards the Manset shore. The westerly breeze offered the nimble L16s the opportunity to slice upwind in the flat water, boats on the right appeared to gain with the first puff, then the left appeared ahead, yet boats tacking back and forth in the middle kept making windward gainings towards mark T. All L16 sailors were challenged in the changing conditions upwind and downwind, yet the graceful L16 always delivers a smooth ride and smiles for everyone onboard. I look forward to seeing Luders' bows pierce through the cold waters of the Great Harbor this summer, 2023.

We had 739 class registrations for our regular youth and adult lessons this summer, up from 668 registrations in 2021, with a total of 292 individual students, up from 248 in 2021. We expanded the Student Member Initiative in 2022 with plans to increase this initiative in 2023. In addition to expanding the private sailing lessons, we had 46 total Women's Sailing registrations for 2022, up from 27 last year, often having 7-8 students attending per session. Powerboat lessons offered on Tuesdays were successful as well, with a total of 39 registrations up from 11 total registrations last summer. At the peak of the summer, we often had 5-6 students attending one session. For 2023, we will be adding back in a regular adult sailing class, as there was plenty of interest for one this past summer. The record breaking year was a direct result LLOVD of the generosity of many fleet members that funded the upgade in 2021 and 2022 of our fleet of boats. We now have a fleet of seven RS Ventures and 20 RS Teras. The addition of the Catboat Lucinda was a very welcome addition in 2022, and it was by far the most popular boat for members and young familes to take out for a casual sail. IOD Magic Bus been a key driver in generating interest in sailing IODs and in joining the Fleet. We all need to thank Franny, Sue, Kelsea, Nick and all of the staff at the Sailing School for making sailing dreams come true in the Great Harbor for SO many of all ages. Sincerely, David Schoeder, President of the Sailing School 61 Northeast Harbor Fleet Sailing School REPORT OF THE SAILING SCHOOL DIRECTOR Summer 2022 at the Northeast Harbor Sailing School was a great season, breaking records across the board with a total of 292 students, up from 248 in 2021, joining us on the water in sailing, rowing, and adult classes. We saw our women's sailing program almost double in enrollment, with a total of 46 signups, up from 27 in 2021. Special thanks to NEHSS board member Lisa Brown Ehrhart for all her help running our women's sailing program. Powerboat lessons were popular too, with a total of 39 signups, up from 11 in 2021. One of the most notable highlights of the summer was the was the MDI Longboard Regatta, where a total of 25 sailors from MDICS, NEHSS, and KYC in Blue Hill raced in RS Teras. We figure that it was one of, if not the largest RS Tera event on the east coast! A huge thank you to the entire MDI Community Sailing staff for setting up the course and running races with us. Big thanks to Kelsea Squires, Fran Charles, Steve Lawson, and the entire incredible fleet team for running such a smooth and versatile ship. I especially want to recognize my team of sailing and rowing instructors, who put everything they had into the youth programs this summer. Head instructors Terra Ehrhart, Sophia Hack, Jay Henry, Ana Hontoria, and Elizabeth all did a fantastic job leading their assigned classes and setting good examples for the rest of the team. This amazing group of young people inspired me every day of the summer with their passion for our youth and the future of sailing. I'd also like to acknowledge our membership, flag officers, and NEHSS board members for making everything we do possible.

Article I - Membership SECTION 1. Membership in the Northeast Harbor Fleet shall be open to persons interested in yachting and shall be divided into seven classes, namely: Honorary Members, Senior Members, Family Members, Individual Members, Intermediate Members, Sustaining Members, and Resident Student Members. The Board of Directors, or its designees, may from time to time elect eligible persons to one of the seven classes of membership. Candidates for membership must be nominated and seconded for membership by Family, Individual or Intermediate members in good standing. The nominating letters should be addressed to the Chairman of the Membership Committee, The Northeast Harbor Fleet, P.O. Box 462, Northeast Harbor, Maine 04662. A former member who was in good standing* at the time their membership was terminated may apply for new membership by submitting an application to the Chairman of the Membership Committee. *"In good standing" means that all dues, assessments and fees had been paid in full. HONORARY MEMBERS - Honorary Members shall be such persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect to Honorary Membership. Honorary Members are entitled to the full privileges of membership. There are no dues or assessments for Honorary Members. SENIOR MEMBERS - A member who has reached the age of 80, and who has paid dues for a period of 35 years, shall not be required to pay further dues and assessments.

Senior Members have the same privileges as Individual Members. FAMILY MEMBERS - Any person or couple otherwise eligible for membership may be elected to Family Membership of the Fleet. Family Membership is 95 required when more than one individual in a family unit consisting of a head of household, his or her spouse and or their children under the age of 24 desires to enjoy the privileges of membership or to extend these privileges to Family Guests (defined as visiting children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren of the Family Member(s) for a period not to exceed one week each summer).
