REPORT OF THE COMMODORE It is my pleasure to address you as Commodore of the Northeast Harbor Fleet. Two-thousand-nineteen was a successful year on several fronts. Our General Manager Franny Charles hosted a full schedule of racing for all three classes: International One Design, Luders 16, and PHRF Class. Sasha Sakharov, our Sailing School Director in 2019, did an excellent job providing a fun and educational experience for our junior sailors. The Annual Sailing School dinner in July was the most successful ever measured by the amount of money raised. Thank you to our friends, members, and the many volunteers who supported this important event. Enrollment numbers in the Sailing School have been on a slow decline in the past few years. A variety of factors has caused this. Reversing this trend is a Board priority, and we are taking measures to open a path back to growth. I am pleased to report the recent hiring of Gretchen Sullivan as our new Sailing School Director. Gretchen is a mature young woman who lives in Southwest Harbor with her husband Brent and son Kinsey. She has a deep resume of experience in organizing and teaching junior sailing in southern Maine, Connecticut, and in college as a member of the Hobart and William Smith varsity sailing team. Gretchen has been very busy the past four months working closely with Franny Charles, Melissa Walls, members of the Sailing School Board, and the Fleet Flag Officers on several new initiatives for 2020. You will hear more on this topic as we get closer to the start of the season. Our Operations Manager, Melissa Walls, is the person we rely on to manage the daily operations of our three business divisions. This includes member relations, billing, sailing school registration, website management, social events, the annual meeting, Clifton Dock apartment rental activity, the management of our mooring business, among others. I much admire her work ethic and pleasant disposition. This season will be Melissa's 6th year with us, and I am thrilled to have the chance to work with her. I am also pleased to report that Franny Charles is returning for another season as General Manager. This is Fran's 12th year with us, and I think I speak for the entire Board and membership on how much we value 4 what he does for us. Franny and his wife Sue are a great team, and I appreciate their dedication to making the Northeast Harbor Fleet a better organization. n addition to race committee work, Sue Charles is also responsible for the production of the Annual Report and beautiful race photos featured on the Fleet website and local newspapers, as well as her entertaining videos. Our club is on solid ground financially. During Steve Madeira's three year term as Commodore, we generated more than sufficient operating profit to fund all capital projects while adding to our cash reserves. We have no short or long term debt. Thanks to the hard work by our Treasurer John Roberts the past three years, we now have in place a more rigorous budget planning process and robust monitoring and reporting function. The Fleet Bookkeeper, Scott Redmon, also does a terrific job for us in this regard. His attention to detail and timeliness of reporting is hugely beneficial in helping us manage the financial affairs of the club. In closing, I want to thank Steve Madeira for his time served as Commodore the past three years. We have made outstanding progress under his leadership. And thank you to the management committee, officers, members of the sailing school board and staff for their effort and commitment. I look forward to seeing you this summer. Best Regards, Mike Cook, Commodore 5 REPORT OF THE FLEET MANAGER Having a great team in place sure makes life SO much easier. This past summer we had a tremendous youth program led by Sasha Sakharov who not only walked the walk by jumping in and co-teaching each of the different sailing groups, but who also enjoyed sailing with the Fleet in IODs and in cruising class events all summer. Our enrollment at Sailing School was way down in July but surged to peak capacity in our last three weeks. Rain rarely appeared for more than a day in a week and sunshine with wind were pretty darn abundant, too. Sasha had a very professional line-up of senior instructors who relished their jobs and made sailing a fun activity with measurable skills to be acquired every day. Shout outs to Camilla Gowen in Rowing, Ellie Hopkins with Allison Gingrich in Learn-to-Sail, Caroline Dunbar with Terra Ehrart in Optis, and Skye Ehrart with Bryan Trammell in 420s. These leaders were well supported by their many supporting instructors. Our launch driving group was a group of seasoned veterans. Chloe Vicenty, Simon Hulbert, Will Hanson all have multiple years of experience and were joined by Steve Lawson who brought a lifetime of sailing and motorboat experience with the Chief before joining us at the Fleet. This crowd of licensed captains were always anxious to help our members by shuttling guests aboard, unsnagging wrapped up pennants, and always offering guidance on changing weather conditions. This crew knows how to fix just about anything and keep all different aspects of our club running smoothly. Slightly behind the scene but absolutely critical to keeping all the different facets of the Fleet perfectly coordinated and putting in place all of the details for special events is Melissa Walls. Her enthusiastic optimism makes it easy to ask her about solving any little issue you might be having with Fleet operations. From By-Laws to mooring pick-up buoys Melissa can get you a straight answer as she knows all. Roy Hadlock keeps all of the moorings in perfect condition and refastens and rebuilds the piers and docks at both facilities as well. Our book keeper, Scott Redmon, is always on top of daily posting all of the invoices and bills properly to the correct 6 accounts in the three different corporations SO your officers can easily pull statements out of it at any time without adjustments. This reality is refreshing to work with while trying to stick with budgets. The sailboat racing was always a fun daily distraction with Luders, IODs and Cruising Class boats enjoying a packed schedule of friendly competitions. As many of you know, Sue Charles is a steady hand on Shearwater and we had fantastic assistance from Henry Brauer, Tucker Charles, Orion Wister, Henry Gowen, Steve Lawson, Elizabeth King, Sydney Roberts Rockefeller, Lee Fox, JP Grace and Peter Lehrman. Everyone chipped in at various points during the long summer and fall seasons to make sailing fair, fun and challenging. Clifton Dock ran smoothly under the steady and professional eye of Jane Joseph. Jane and her supportive staff find great ease at making everyone feel comfortable when stopping in for fuel, water, ice, or to assist in spoiling the baby ducklings under the gangway. Clifton Dock is a special place because of her leadership. Finally, it all comes together under the direction of fellow members who volunteer to assist in the various flag officer positions and the different committees which comprise the backbone of all activities at the Northeast Harbor Fleet. Countless hours of planning from September through May make the short boating season of MDI a positive experience for all our members. Let's look forward to more fun in 2020. -Franny Charles, Manager 7 REPORT OF THE GREEN TEAM 2019 brought new Green events and energy to our Fleet. Beach Clean-ups made their debut on the Fleet calendar this year thanks to another wonderful Ehrhart Family Foundation grant from 2018. In July a number of Fleet members came out to Baker's Island to show their support for clean oceans and beaches. In a short time, we hauled away almost TWO dumpsters worth of debris from the shores of our beautiful Baker's Island. After the trash was stowed on the Shearwater, we enjoyed a picnic then followed the sailors racing back to Gilpatrick Cove, with the power boaters enjoying the dynamic spectacle - a fabulous day all around for our members to celebrate our Fleet, our ocean, and our beautiful surroundings. In August it was the Sailing School's turn to shine. With the blessing of the property owners, 60 junior sailors stormed the shores of Greening Island and gathered bagfuls of plastic bottles, buoys, stryofoam containers, and cigarette butts. The children had fun but were shocked by the amount of trash gathered. A true learning adventure. Both of these events are slated for 2020, SO mark your calendars for Sunday, July 19th for the All Fleet Membership beach clean up & picnic, and Friday, August 14th for the Sailing School clean up. Come one, come all! 2019 brought change to the bottoms of many of our sailing and power craft. The IOD fleet by all accounts switched entirely to copper free (CF) bottom paint. This move reduces the copper, traditionally found in bottom paint, from leaching into the marine environment where it accumulates in filter feeders such as clams and mussels and damages the larval stages of aquatic invertebrates and some fish species. Thank you everyone who made this conscientious and important change. We encourage full membership participation in this important and easy effort. Please call your boatyard today. On campus, we started and will continue numerous responsible efforts. "Pack it in - pack it out" reduces the waste left on our campus and gets us all to think about the trash/waste we generate. So, when heading out for 8 a picnic or a day on the water, consider your packaging and plastic use, demand sustainable takeout, and please reuse VS. just toss. Our three water fill stations have again reduced the number of plastic single use bottles used and tossed into our landfill. By our accounting that number is well over 3,700 for just our two stations at the Fleet! During Sailing School every Monday the instructors lead a discussion with our junior sailors around the flagpole on our Fleet's green objectives and encourage participation by all - everyday. Next summer on rainy or foggy days the Sailing School will use KELP* (Kids Environmental Lesson Plans) developed by Sailors for the Sea. KELP programs are fun and engaging marine science activities that encourage curiosity in kids and help them explore their natural surroundings. We are lucky to have such an opportunity. During our Annual Meeting in 2019 more practical and usable awards were presented to our racers, and sailors welcomed the canvas bags and YETI mugs. Lastly, for the third year in a row the Northeast Harbor Fleet was awarded Gold Level Certification by Sailors for the Sea** in their Clean Regattas/ Club program. In 2020 we will be shooting for Platinum level and we welcome your help and participation to get there. continued next page 9 continued 2020 will bring new vision to our continued efforts. We anticipate lowering carbon emissions & fossil fuel use with our "new to us" coach boat for the NEHSS, which will be powered by a brand new Torqeedo electric motor. Again a big thank you to the Ehrhart Family Foundation for their 2019 grant supporting this exciting initiative. Additionally, we are working on getting Island boatyards to recycle shrink-wrap, and we're moving toward 100% of our Fleet's boat bottoms using CF paint. We always welcome additional member support, SO join us as a Green Team member or as a volunteer assisting at one of our scheduled events. Please stay engaged and check out our Green Team webpage for all that is going on. May we continue to enjoy and revel in the natural beauty of the place we call home.

MAHANEY 1993 25 REPORT OF THE CRUISING CLASS CAPTAIN The Northeast Harbor Fleet's 2019 Cruising Class enjoyed another season of (generally) good weather and fantastic racing with solid participation among the Fleet members. Once again, our Race Committee, led by Fran Charles, provided the Class with creative and challenging courses. The annual Sunday MDI Series for the Carole Haaland Trophy was contested over 3 races. Weather and a very crowded calendar proved to be a challenge to getting this series going, but overall the series had very competitive racing, won in a tie breaker by Ken Weg sailing his Morris M42x, Ranger. Second place went to Joe Weber in his Brooklin Boatyard 49 sloop Dreadnaught. The Annual August Cruise was set to run on August 8-9. Looking to build on the success of the 2018 event, we were again scheduled to race to Brooklin and back over the two days. Unfortunately, the weather had something else in store for us. A major storm on August 8 led to the postponement of the race and the decision to run both races on August 9. Both races were run in the Great Harbor with 12 boats participating. The day was won by Ken Weg aboard Ranger, and Mike Cook sailing his Brooklin Boatyard 42 Lynnette finished a close second. Many thanks to David and Susan Rockefeller for providing use of their beautiful dock house to host the post-race party and awards ceremony. The 2020 racing season is again shaping up to be a busy one. The Race Committee, the Flag Officers and Class Captains have been working hard to fit all of these wonderful racing opportunities in to a what is a very short summer season. We look forward to seeing all of you back on the water again this year. Until then, Fair Winds, Chris Hopkins Cruising Class Captain 26 HENRY T. REATH TROPHY In memory of Henry T.

Eric, born in Hamburg, Germany, grew to become an influential partner in the family bank serving maritime industries. Yet in face of Nazi persecution, his focus in 1938 became the escape of family and community. The bank having been sold, Eric joined US Army intelligence for the duration of the war. In face of skepticism, adversity and fear of personal safety, his courage was expressed by his immediate return to Hamburg where for the rest of his life, he successfully inspired rejuvenation of family, community and restoration of family banking leadership. Max, in his 11-year life, was an aspiring sailor, and often a member of the "Cybele" crew competing on these waters. His courage was expressed in his confrontation with his own disease while at the same time speaking out in public inspiring potential donors to come forward for the benefit of 6,000 others also seeking bone marrow transplants.

Combined series qualifier race count increased from 23 to 26 race days from 2018 to 2019. Qualifier race count are those teams that sailed at least the required minimum of races (75%) in a series to be eligible for inter-club travel event opportunities. This is a higher standard than the World Class Organization requirement. Combined qualifier boats were up from 24 to 26 over the same period. Qualifier boats are the number of different boats on the line in a given series. With 20-22 different boats on the line for each series, we had competitive racing on creative, varied courses delivered by MIT Sailing Master Fran Charles and his agile RC management. Our seasoned included a series determined at the final race between John Henry and Peter Ill, and revealed youth skipper Alec Fisichella who sailed to 2nd place in the B Series and earned an invite to the Nantucket Invitational. John will represent NEH at the Worlds in Chester, NS, Peter will represent us at the 40 NA's this Fall in Bermuda, and David Folger has accepted the Bermuda Invitational Race Week invite for Team Dakota. On the subject of youth sailing, we were all pleased to welcome IOD 'Earl' #28, LCYC, into the family in 2019. Earl participated in our sail rotation purchase of 29 new mainsails for 2020. Discussions in 2019 to further develop participation included scoring flexibility, branding groups of races within a series, and qualifier race day count, all having been addressed. These initiatives should build on our strong 2019 season and our ongoing sustainability. Looking forward, this class level collaboration, in addition to Fleet level collaboration will increase equal flexibility for all and further enhance the quality of our Fleet racing. Our new Sailing School Director, Gretchen Sullivan, will be a great asset to the sailing school, Fleet Operations, and Race Committee initiatives. The on the water Race Committee and support boats will receive additional attention and safe, quality racing will continue in our beautiful venue.

The July and August Series had a combined average of 13 boats on the line, and 7 different boats earned bullets. Crowded starting lines and multiple-overlap finishes were the payoff for this increasingly competitive group. The Class has also shown its depth with a broad age range with junior skippers from MDI sailing schools included in those bullets along with veterans of decades of racing. The Class competed in monthly Friday Series races starting in June and running through Colubus Day, the all-summer Sunday Series, The Fourth of July Series, the Labor Day Series, as well as a number of inter class handicap events. Luders also took the top 4 finishes in The Hayward Cup, setting a standard for the NEH Fleet. All the Best, Wells Bacon, Luders 16 Class President Wells and Mary Bacon in the green machine, MaryJane. 52 LUDERS 16 JUNE SERIES S FOUR RACE SERIES NINE BOATS S RESULTS PLACE BOAT SAIL NUMBER TOTAL SKIPPER 1 Ludicrous 255 7 Art Paine 2 Voodoo 30 14 David Folger 3 MaryJane 38 14 Wells Bacon 4 Sweet Chariot 300 17 Ken Brookes 5 Palladin 307 19 Tom Rolfes 6 SeaBee 263 20 Jim Fernald 7 Freight Train 333 23 Otto Smith 8 Ondine 32 25 Rick Wheeler 8 Romp NE6 26 Bill Horner 255 aas Ludicrous cruises into Norton's Cove.

Our students made us proud on the racecourse and on the reintroduced August Cruise. From the positive feedback we've gotten from parents, it seems our efforts to improve the rigor of the teaching program were applauded. Sailing School director Drew Hopkins and his staff worked hard to keep things organized and within budget. Beyond sailing instruction, the summer of '18 marked our second full season of green initiatives at the school. On foggy days, in addition to knot tying and seamanship lessons, we showed students a film on plastics pollution in the oceans of the world. We are committed to helping keep our MDI waters clean and for next summer we are planning sailing school outings for shoreline cleanup projects. We're proud to be teaching these important environmental lessons. On behalf of the Sailing School Board, I am most thankful for a year of very strong giving. The Sailing School dinner at the Fleet was both well attended and well enjoyed! We hope to see you, your kids, and your grandchildren on the floats very soon in '19!
