REPORT OF THE COMMODORE I am pleased to report that 2018 was another successful season at the Fleet. Participation numbers were strong and the excitement level was high. The few significant changes we made were very well received. The Sailing School saw the implementation of a new curriculum, as we noted last year. President Baird and his board created a new educational track called "adventure sailing" that emphasized being on the water for fun, not racing. Those who still like the competitive angle can still find it, but those that don't now have a path. The Green Team, headed by Rear Commodore Mia Thompson, Fleet Officer Gordon Beck and former Commodore Sydney Roberts Rockefeller continued to make positive contributions both to the Fleet and to the preservation of the environment. The membership has really embraced all of the changes and the team has more new ideas for 2019 in store. This effort will continue to grow. Financially, we had a strong year. We met our budget objectives and positioned ourselves to address some deferred maintenance issues in 2019. The apartment at Clifton Dock continues to produce strong results and we are already well positioned with tenants for the coming summer. Thanks are due to Vice Commodore Mike Cook, as well as the ever-indispensable Melissa Walls for their efforts. The other big change for 2018 was the return of the August Cruise. 14 Cruising boats, plus 4 IODs and several power boats made the trek to the Wooden Boat School at the east end of the Eggemogin reach where we enjoyed a beautiful evening of good food and a fair bit of revelry. Fran and his staff organized 2 sensational days of racing that left smiles on many, many faces. I very much hope that this event will return and grow in 2019. The feedback we have received suggests that most, if not all, of the participants last year are keen to do it again and I will be reaching those who wanted to join last year, but couldn't (you know who you are!) After such a successful 2018, we enter 2019 with a great deal of momentum and believe that we are still on an upward trajectory in terms 4 of the quality of the events and the enthusiasm of the membership. Thank you all for your support. On behalf of the Officers and the Staff, it is our honor to serve you. See you on the water, Steve Madeira, Commodore Commodore Steve Madeira, Pam and crew at the August Cruise on Blue Hill Bay 5 REPORT OF THE FLEET MANAGER Another fun and successful season is often measured by the participation numbers in the sailboat racing, the numbers of people who are regularly using their boats on a daily basis, enrollment in SS programs and the general warm vibe around the waterfront. Volunteers form the foundation of everything we do while establishing the foundations of the next season before we even get by Labor Day in the prior year. Your fellow members who have stepped up to help guide the direction of the events and various programs deserve all the credit for the successful series of events which were hosted by the Fleet in 2018. Our flag officers were constantly in discussion throughout the year helping coordinate the calendar, the business arrangements of the organization, and always trying to be fair and consistent in the application of the by-laws. Helping promote new initiatives in a tightly packed calendar takes a gigantic amount of effort and planning. Matthew Baird led the Sailing School Board into an impressive summer of youth offerings with adventure sailing brought into the curriculum to help introduce just sailing for fun and not necessarily for developing racing skills with our youth. Drew Hopkins had a fantastic group of enthusiastic instructors who had the flexibility to adjust to challenging conditions and always made sailing class a fun activity which our participants wanted to enjoy every day of the week. Our staff was led by the always knowledgeable and affable Melissa Walls. Every detail of every special event was in line months in advance with the various vendors which the Fleet employs. Mooring changes, billing and maintenance scheduling are always a delicate and challenging set of issues every year. We have a whole bunch of stone and chain to maintain, rent out, and deal with the issues of an occasional dragging or someone mistakenly jumping on the wrong ball and causing the domino problem for 6 or 8 boat owners at the same time. One of our major services offered on the Gilpatrick Cove side is daily launch service all summer long. Chloe Vicenty, Simon Hulbert, Will 6 Hansen, and Ned Herrington were a terrific group of licensed launch operators and really did a stellar job even in the gnarliest conditions. Occasionally they were supplemented by Drew Hopkins and Tucker Charles. They were also responsible for keeping the Manager Fran Charles and Lucy the seagoing sheltie. grounds cleaned up, unwrapping mooring pennants and adjusting boats which were located on the wrong buoy. The licensed launch driver's efforts were supplemented by the members of the Race Committee when they were not on the water. Peter Lehrman, Charlie Quimbey, JP Grace, Moose Herrington, and Will Hansen not only could manage great sailboat racing courses but they also were top notch in learning how to maintain gas engines, diesel engines, sailboat rigging, and everything else which needs constant attention around the waterfront. Tucker Charles handled all of the Luders Fall Series racing as Race Committee and then managed all of the final shutdown of the Fleet property as well. Of course the most enjoyable thing about running competitive, fair, challenging, and never repetitive sailboat races is being able to have Sue Charles assisting me. Our time on the water together means SO much to us and we certainly appreciate making friends with SO many sailors and other folks whom we interact with regularly on MDI in the summertime. Kind regards, Franny Charles, Manager 7 REPORT OF THE GREEN TEAM The Fleet's Green Team is pleased to report a very successful season, building upon our launch of Green Initiatives in 2017. Members, guests and Sailing School students fully embraced our sustainability program to eliminate single-use plastics, including water bottles, bags, straws, disposable cups, plates and utensils, and to generally reduce landfill trash. In the second year of water station use, the Fleet saved over 1,000 plastic single-use bottles from entering the waste stream. The Galley served our functions and parties well, using all reusable glasses, tableware and silverware. The composting system worked well, and strides were made in better recycling efforts. A third water bottle filling station was installed at Clifton Dock, encouraging use of reusable water containers. We promoted the use of copper-free bottom paint, with the Fleet's own utility craft, and several members' sailboats, serving as examples of how to employ efficient, ecologically sound alternatives. Efforts will continue in 2019 to promote a culture of environmental awareness: we are planning a Fleet-wide Beach Clean Up and Picnic, promoting more widespread use of copper-free bottom paint, and encouraging the reduction of landfill-bound trash. We will also be looking at an electric motor for a Sailing School instructor boat for the 2019 season, reducing our use of fossil fuels and the resulting carbon emissions. Generous member donations and foundation grants have supported our efforts; but success depends largely on the work of the Fleet Staff and the 2018 Green Team which included Mia Thompson, Wells Bacon, Gordon Beck, Fran Charles, Bill Dowling, Jim Green, Barbara Meyers, John Roberts, Sydney Roberts Rockefeller, Alison Schafe and Melissa Walls. The waters of Mount Desert Island and Gilpatrick Cove do need our protection, and I invite you to join this important mission. Volunteer, make a donation, and reduce your own use of plastics, packaging and pollutants in your daily routine. Together, we can make the Fleet an even better standard for environmental responsibility. On behalf of the Green Team, Gordon Beck, for the Green Team 8 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET GREEN FUND The Northeast Harbor Fleet Sailing School Board of Directors, on behalf of all members, gratefully acknowledge the generosity of these donors.

MAHANEY 1993 23 REPORT OF THE CRUISING CLASS CAPTAIN The 2018 season was in many ways a successful one for the Cruising Class. In addition to our full slate of racing including the Reath Trophy, the Connie Madeira Trophy and the Great Harbor Dream Pursuit race, we successfully reintroduced the August Cruise to the schedule. The Cruise saw 11 cruising boats and their crew's race from MDI to Brooklin and back over two days. During our layover in Brooklin, racers were treated to a wonderful dinner and party on the Brooklin shore attended by over 100 people. The event was a great success with many members reflecting on their memories of cruises from years past while making new ones. The Cruise returns again this year on August 8-9 SO please mark your calendars! Chris Hopkins at the helm of Watermark. One of our priorities last year, as in many years, was to get more boats, and more sailors, out racing. All of our pursuit races continue to be well attended as does the MDI Series, in which up to 8 boats competed on a regular basis in this season long competition for the Carole Haaland Trophy. The Fleet staff worked in partnership with interested Fleet members and the Sailing School to emphasize racing in all classes, which we will continue in 2019. All in all it was a great year of sailing. Many thanks to all who came out to make it memorable as well as to Fran, Melissa, and all of the staff and volunteers who worked SO hard serving on the Race Committee. Without their hard work, professionalism and commitment, none of this would be possible. Looking forward to another great year.

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. - 2018 Two COURSES: PURSUIT TO BAKERS Is.

Then, the racers headed west through the Pond Island Passage to finish in a slightly shortened course at Mahoney Ledge off the south end of Eggenoggin Reach. Auriga was sailed by the Lawson family visiting from California. They decided that the quickest way to Hardwood Island was east of Black Island and Southwest of Placentia. The shortest distance doesn't always translate into the fastest course. Eagle, Woodie and Gambler sat becalmed for what seemed eternity waiting for the seabreeze to fill. The Law- sons hit it out of the park but the others closed the gap considerably by the finish. Auriga won followed by Woodie skippered by Fleet Captain John Roberts, then Eagle helmed by Court Jenkins and Gambler was very close astern. The second race home was from Eggemoggin Reach and out around Swan's Island and Toothacre Bay. A long run into the Great Harbor followed with many segments interrupted by absolutely no wind. Woodie was at least 3 miles behind the rest at Scrag Island but rallied by the Sisters and almost snuck by to win. The Lawsons turned on the razzle dazzle machine and stole the race back in the last quarter mile to win the race and the series. Woodie was second again followed by Gambler then Eagle. For results, turn to page 32. 30 - CRUISING CLASS - The cruising class also had a very light start as the heat and humidity were just off the charts. Their race was to Placentia Island, down Blue Hill Bay to Tinkers Island and then west past Mahoney Ledge into the Reach. Many positions were being shuffled at first and the big boat Cybele looked like she might bust it open with her tall rig. However, she fell into the doldrums under Gott Island while Lynnette steered by Mike Cook and Fleetwing helmed by Commodore Steve Madeira escaped. Lynnette kept the sprint on to the finish and Fleetwing lost second place in the last quarter mile to Mahoney Ledge to the mighty Cybele skippered by David Rockefeller. The party was a resounding success with great food catered at the Wooden Boat School shed and arranged launch service to get sailors back out for the crash. Courtney heralded everyone's excitement by dancing on the tables, too. Tuesday's race had a light start in the Reach with a friendly send off by the local fishermen, too. Cybele charged into the lead with her tall rig but the others were close behind. Eventually the sailors reached the gap between Hat Island and Marshall Island and everyone stood upright. The ripply water looked closer to the east but Fleetwing worked west along the Marshall Island shore and sailed right around the big red boat. Everyone had a wonderful reaching leg outside Frenchboro's Long Island and eventually turned to enter the Great Harbor of Mt Desert. Fortunately, the tide was flooding because the breeze was starting to get gnarly and light. The slowest boat in the Fleet won the race expertly sailed by Gordon Beck. The Watermark ends up as a decisive winner as the overall champion with Chris Hopkins at the helm. If you missed some of the most fun sailing all year, you need to figure out how to join us in 2019.

We had 23 boats participate in the 12 race July series and we had 20 boats participate in the 11 race August series. John Henry, sailing Gambler, was the winner of a hard fought July series that had four boats within two points of each other going into the final race. The leader in the August series was David Rockefeller Jr. on Caribou. One of the highlights of the year was the return of the IOD fleet to the 50+ year old traditonal August Cruise. This year's format was two days of spectacular racing with a fabulous evening party in beautiful Brooklin, Maine. Four IODs participated in the cruise. The winners of both days' races was Team Lawson Family visiting from the San Francisco IOD Fleet! Another highlight of our season has been the return of #4 Silver Spray which has been out of action for several years, skippered by Peter Ill. We have also added a new boat to the Class, #19 Freyja, captained by Mia Thompson. Our class is very fortunate to be expanding and attracting new racers. Once again, we have seen many young skippers out on the race course this season. These youthful sailors hail from the local high school team, the numerous summer sailing schools and from colleges from near and far. This bodes very well for the future health of our class. The NEH IOD Class was also active in post season racing this year. Two boats raced in the World Championships in Sweden, John Henry and his team on Gambler, and David Schoeder and his team on Dakota. In addition, John Roberts and the team on Woodie represented the NEH IOD Class at the IOD North American Championships in Chester, NS.

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.

NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL REPORT OF THE SAILING SCHOOL PRESIDENT Last summer marked the 95th season of rowing and sailing at the Northeast Harbor Fleet and we're still going strong! 180 students enrolled with 149 in sailing classes and 31 in rowing. 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!

A yacht in commission and manned shall display the ensign as follows: 1. At anchor, a yacht shall display the ensign at the stern between morning and evening colors, except that a yacht that will be unmanned at color time shall make evening colors before hand. 83 2. Underway, a yacht shall display the ensign when there is sufficient light for identification. a) A power yacht or a sailing yacht under power alone shall display the ensign at the gaff or, lacking a gaff, at the stern. b) A yacht under sail, when not racing, shall display the ensign preferably at the gaff or upper leach of the after most sail, or at the stern.
