REPORT OF THE COMMODORE We are pleased to report that 2017 was another successful season at the Fleet. Participation numbers were strong, if not historically high across the board thanks to the combined efforts of volunteers, staff and some quite cooperative weather. We saw robust activity from June through September as the "Shoulder Season" becomes a bigger part of our year. A welcome improvement in 2017 was the formation of the Green Team, headed by Rear Commodore Mia Thompson, Fleet Officer Gordon Beck and former Commodore Sydney Roberts Rockefeller. Their goal is to minimize the disruption to our delicate ecosystem from the efforts and activities of the Fleet. I hope you all saw and took advantage of the new water bottle fill stations, the composting bin in the parking lot and the new cups, plates and silverware in the kitchen. We will continue to look for ways to minimize our negative impact on the oceans and appreciate the support of the membership. This effort will continue to grow. The Sailing School had another successful year that was highlighted by an extensive effort to assess and re-evaluate the curriculum. President Baird and his board have put a great deal of effort into the design of the program during 2017 and have some significant improvements planned for 2018. It will be exciting to see. The efforts around the Great Harbor Dream continue to raise the visibility of sailing all over Mount Desert Island and continues to be a focal point for the Sailing School efforts Financially, there were some surprises, both positive and negative, but the knowledge gained from both will position us well for 2018. The largest positive was the rental income we received from the apartment at Clifton Dock. Even though we were a bit late getting it on the market, the strong feedback we received suggests that this asset can be a real boon in the coming years. It is already under contract for a sizable portion of the 2018 season. Thanks are due to Vice Commodore Mike Cook for his efforts to get things in line. By most accounts, the highlight was our hosting of the IOD World Championships in late August. As anybody who witnessed the event can tell you, it was quite a spectacle and our team of volunteers and staff let 4 by Chairman John Roberts and GM Fran Charles, with a huge assist from the ever-indispensable Melissa Walls did us all extremely proud. Our local crews, skippered by John Henry and David Rockefeller represented us admirably finishing third and fourth, respectively. Equally important, the efforts of the aforementioned Green Team enabled the Fleet to receive the highest rating possible for Sustainability from Sailors for the Sea. Well done all around! With all of the progress in 2017, I enter 2018 with a great deal of optimism and believe we can further strengthen the Fleet and deliver even more fully on our mission to promote yachting as an amateur sport. See you on the water, Steve Madeira, Commodore 5 REPORT OF THE FLEET MANAGER The mooring fields are full, the growing fleets of IODs and Luders are sailing regularly, and most importantly the youth are giving the old guard a run for their money. The Fleet is buzzing and we are all SO fortunate to be enjoying being out and on the water as much as possible. The success of a season is due in large part to the volunteers who help organize all of these activities and to our dedicated and professional staff. Commodore Steve Madeira and IOD Class Captain John Roberts rallied to put on a well attended and appreciated IOD World Championship this past summer, and SO many folks came together to support the racing and on-shore events that everything went seamlessly. Our Sailing School was successfully led by Christopher Scott along with an enthusiastic group of parents on the SS Board, making for another rewarding year of introducing youth to a lifetime sport of sailing. Gordon Beck led the Green Team, making sure that our Fleet is actively protecting the environment and he volunteered countless hours to make this happen. Chris and Ann Hopkins initiated many changes to the cruising class schedule and organized a hugely successful Great Harbor Dream banquet, sustaining the vision to cooperatively bring youth together on the harbor with a local high school sailing team at its core. Melissa Wall is the foundation for all NEHF programs and pays attention to the crucial details of every part of our multi-faceted organization. We are fortunate to have her guidance as we transition year to year with different volunteers. Her extensive experience coordinating a myriad of vendors is also much appreciated. Tucker Charles admirably performed boatswain duties and led the launch driving staff, making sure they were ready to solve boating issues that came up. He was ably assisted by Chloe Vicenty, Simon Hulbert, Drew Hopkins, Pancho Cole, and Emma Rusk. I was gratefully supported on the Race Committee by my wife Sue Charles and by Moose Herrington, JP Grace and Will Hansen. Tucker became the PRO in the fall season for the Luders Class and ran fun, competitive, and safe races into the colder weeks. Kind regards, Franny Charles, Manager 6 REPORT OF THE GREEN TEAM The 2017 season introduced true environmental sustainability to the Fleet, thanks to the newly formed Green Team led by Rear Commodore Mia Thompson. Through the generous donations by members and active support by officers and staff, the Fleet acquired two water bottle filling stations, a commercial dishwasher, reusable dishware and glasses for the Galley, and installed updated recycling and composting facilities. All new Green Policies encouraged everyone to reduce, reuse and recycle, and were instrumental in drastically reducing the use of plastic. Best sustainable practices were successfully implemented for shoreside and racing events alike. Sailors for the Sea rewarded these efforts with Gold Level Clean Regattas Certification, for the Fleet season as well as the 2017 IOD World Championships. This inaugural season of Green Initiatives has been a resounding success, and sets the Fleet on an environmentally friendly course for years to come. Many thanks to all who donated, and for all of the hard work by the volunteers of the 2017 Green Team who are Mia Thompson, Sydney Roberts Rockefeller, John Roberts , , Gordon Beck, Fran Charles, Melissa Walls, Bill Dowling, Tucker Charles, Barbara Meyers and Jim Green. Alll the Best, Gordon Beck, for the Green Team 7 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 25 REPORT OF THE CRUISING CLASS CAPTAIN The 2018 season is shaping up to be a busy one and there is one new event in particular that I wanted to bring to your attention: the revival of the August Cruise. The Cruise will be held on August 6 and 7. We'll race up the Eggemoggin Reach to Brooklin where we'll have a catered cocktail party and dinner at the beautiful Wooden Boat facility and race back to the Fleet the following day. Awards will be presented for both races and the overall finish as well as many others. The entry fee is $200 per boat which includese two tickets for the dinner. Additional tickets can be purchased for $70 each. The Fleet will be provide launch service at Wooden Boat. Mark the date on your calendar for what is sure to be the start of a great tradition. To register, contact Melissa at nehfleet@gmail.com. In addition to the August Cruise, we have a full racing schedule. All of our regular events are back, including the Reath Trophy Pursuit, Hospice Regatta, Connie Madeira Raft Up and Pursuit Race and the Great Harbor Dream Pursuit Race and Party. As always, one of our priorities this summer is to get more boats out racing. To that end, if you already participate, I encourage you to invite someone new out to race this season. If you are not currently a competitor, then I welcome you to join a team or assemble one and come out on the Great Harbor for some fantastic regattas. If you need crew, we will have our Crew-Finder board up and running in the lobby at the fleet. If you know someone who's interested in racing, send their contact info to MelissaWalls at the Fleet (nehfleet@gmail.com) and we'll make sure they receive all Crusing Class communications. Finally we will also be running our informal Wednesday afternoon non-spin shorthanded series again this year. Keep an eye on your inbox for more information on these and other events.

REPORT OF THE INTERNATIONAL ONE DESIGN CLASS CAPTAIN The NEH IOD Class had another very successful season. Seventeen boats sailed in the 15 race July series and 19 boats sailed in the 12 race August series. Gambler won both series, with John Henry and Chad Thieken as co-skippers in July and John Henry skipppering in August. One of the highlights of the season was the continued increase in participation of youth sailors in our class. Sailors from the MDI HS team, summer sailing schools and college teams were active all summer, showing the old dogs new tricks. This bodes very well for the future of the class. The NEH IOD Class and the Fleet were also thrilled to host the 2017 IOD World Championships in August. We had 20 boats on the line for this week-long regatta and a full schedule of social events. This regatta would not have been possible without the countless volunteers who SO generously donated their boats, time and money to the effort. The regatta was a huge success and helped create many great memories. Best of all, we had a fantastic showing by our two NEH representatives. John Henry and Team Gambler finished 3rd overall and David Rockefeller and Team Caribou finished 4th overall. This past season also marked the return of a long-lost friend of the NEHF IOD Class, Magic Bus, number 20. The Bus was lovingly restored by David Schoeder and relaunched in all her glory in June. Kudos to the dedicated boatbuilders who brought her back to life. In post-2017 season news, we will have even more boats on the line next season. Rumor has it that we will see the return of number 4 Silver Spray as well as a transplant from the Long Island fleet!

Not only did the Great Harbor present some very challenging breezes and conditions but the social events were a resounding success as well. Huge numbers of volunteers assisted with race management, judging, equalizing and fixing boats, housing hosts, launch duty, boat rotations, and keeping the event green by eliminating trash and non-recyclables. Jonathan Farrar of Fishers Island made a tremendous comeback to seize victory in the final set of races.

The races have great participation numbers with 18 boats competing in both July and August Series and 12 boats competing in the short course Sunday Series. In all six Pursuit Races hosted by the Northeast Harbor Fleet the Luders Class boats out-numbered the IODs. One of the highlights of the class is the attraction to youth sailors as evidenced by Alec Fisichella winning the Sunday Series over 14 races on Ludicrous.

NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL REPORT OF THE SAILING SCHOOL PRESIDENT This past summer marked the ninety-fourth season of teaching rowing and sailing at the Northeast Harbor Fleet. There is much news to report. Rowing and sailing classes were well attended. Two hundred nine students enrolled this year with one hundred sixty five in sailing classes and forty four in rowing classes. Sailing school students made us proud on the race course. Skye Ehrhart and his sister Terra won the Maine C420 Championships in Portland and multiple youth sailors raced with friends and family on IODs, Luders and the big boats. Learning to sail in a fragile ecosystem, our sailing students are always reminded of the importance of environmental action. Thanks to the combined efforts of our Green Team, parents, students and instructors, the Fleet and Sailing School have been awarded Gold Level Clean Regattas Certification by Sailors for the Sea for our 2017 season. We are proud of this recognition of sustainablity and happy to be doing our part to teach these important lessons. We are thankful for a year of impressive charitable giving to the school. We are also grateful for former commodore David Schoeder's generous gift of Magic Bus, IOD #30. This gift brought another gorgeous International back to the starting line, and having Magic Bus in the school will encourage more youth sailors to race in the IOD series. Young members (and their kids!) are encouraged to field a crew and to sign up for a turn on Magic Bus. Our new director of the sailing program, Drew Hopkins is anxious to get her out to as many races as possible with as many eager students as we can muster. In our fall board meeting Christopher Scott stepped down after five years of service as the NEHSS President. We all owe him a great deal of gratitude for the time and tireless effort that he has put in over these past years. Lastly, and most importantly, I want to thank all of you who have given to support the school in the past year. We are an institution without 60 an endowment, and we are completely reliant on your kind generosity. Enrollment tuition only covers 60% of the costs of our programs, and we are grateful for your continued support of our impactful programs such as the Great Harbor Dream. All my best, Matthew Baird, President Northeast Harbor Sailing School 61 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL JUNIOR SAILORS 2017 ALLEGRA ALFARO TAYLOR COLKET EMILY FLUCKIGER FELIX ALFARO CAMPBELL COMER LAUREN FLUCKIGER LUCAS ALFARO SPENCER COMER KATHERINE FOULKE HENRY ALLEN CLARISSA COMER JULIA FOULKE ANNABEL AUSTEN WILLIAM DARRAGH GEMMA Fox COOPER AUSTEN LUKE DAVIS GRIFF Fox LAURA AUSTEN HUNTER DAVIS CAMDEN FRITZ ELIZA BAIRD HENRY DENNIS NATHAN FRITZ ALEXIS BAIRD WILLIAM DIANA BETTINA GANNON PETER BARRETT LUKE DIANA LUKE GARDINER AUGUST BARRETT CHASE DOORLY ISABELLA GARDINER ELLEN BARRETT LUKE DUFFIE CHARLOTTE GARDINER GEORGIA BARTLETT JOHN DUFFIE ANNA GARDINER WALKER BARTLETT ROSEMARY DUNCAN SIMON GEFFEN REED BEALL MICHAEL DUNCAN BARBARA GIBBONS McNAIR BEAVER THOMAS DUNCAN CHARLES GIBBONS JULIA BEEMAN JOSEPH DUNCAN HENRY GOWEN JAKE BENSTER COLEMAN DUPONT KIKI GRACE CHARLIE BORTOLOT WILLAMINA DUPONT TEDDY GRACE JESSICA BOURNE NICOLAS DUPONT SOPHIA GRAIZZARO SOPHIA BOURNE LUCIEN DURIEZ ISABELLA GRAIZZARO CHARLIE BRIGGS HUGO DURIEZ ZOE GRAIZZARO AURORA BRZEZINSKI PETER EICHLEAY HENRY GRIFFEN CLAUDIA CITRIN EDWARD EICHLEAY MICHAEL HANSEN JOSEPH CITRIN KATHERINE ESPENSHADE SOPHIE HANSEN MARGAUX CITRIN LOWELL FENSTERMACHER PENELOPE HARRIS WILLIAM CITRIN HANNAH FLUCKIGER HANNAH HASKELL 62 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL JUNIOR SAILORS 2017 LOUISA HASKELL CARL KARST PALOMA MUFAUD HENRY HASKELL JACK KARST CADE MUNDY DANIEL HASSAN KATHERINE KENNEDY HALE MURCH CHILDS HAUCK DUNCAN KENNEDY JAMES MURCH ISABELLA HAUCK SOPHIE KENNEDY JOHN MURCH BROOKS HAWKINS LUCY KENNEDY LAVON MURCH ELISE HAWKINS DILLON LAKE ALEXANDRA NATHAN SCARLETT HAWKINS LILLY LAKE ELLIE NATHAN JAY HENRY JAMES LAPSLEY LUKE NATHAN WILLIAM HENRY CLAIRE LARSEN ISLA NATHAN CAMPBELL HERRINGTON SARAH LAWSON MILO NERENBERG LIAM HIGGINS SAMUEL SKEITH ELIZABETH NICHOLSON ANDERS INGLE ALEX LEFEBVRE HAYLEY O'CONNOR SAGE INGLE JAMES LEHRMAN CAROLINE OLSEN ELSA INGLE PETER LEHRMAN ELIZA OLSEN OLIVE INTINARELLI FRANCIS LEO CODY OLSON ELMA INTINARELLI EDWARD MADARA IV TEDDY ORTHWEIN MIMI ISLE ZAHRA MAFOUD HENRY ORTHWEIN ADRIAN JENKINS MADARA MARRON WYATT ORTHWEIN TALLY JERVIS ALEX MARRON HOLLY PEABODY HEATH JERVIS LUKE MARTINEZ RILEY PETERSON PHILIPPA JERVIS CATIE MARTINEZ RAMSEY PETERSON KATE JOHNSON JIMMY McCLELLAN ISABELLA RIESENFELD GRAY JOHNSON ANGUS MCINTYRE HALSEY ROBINSON JOSIAH JONES ELIZA MELLON DRAKE ROYALL BANNON JONES PORTER MELLON WALKER ROYALL GEORGE KARONIS STOKES MELLON DAVIS ROYALL 63 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL JUNIOR SAILORS 2017 - ANTONIO RUIZ-CANELA DAPHNE STURGES-MOYNE HENRY SAINT-AMAND LUCINDA SULLENS BROOKE SARACCO MILLICENT SULLENS LUCINDASCHAFER GRAYSON TOOGOOD CHLOE SCHIFF FRANCES TRAFELET JACKSON SCHLEMMER SOPHIE TRAMMELL LUCY SCHLEMMER NICHOLAS VAN ALEN MAX SCHREIBER BRINTON VAN ALEN OLIVER SCOTT GRACE VAN ALEN CHARLOTTE SEAY THEODORE VAN ALEN SEBASTIAN SEHERR-THOSS JAMES VAN ALEN PIPER SHEPHERD LUCAS VAN ALEN, JR BAILEY SHEPHERD ARTHUR VILLA BASS Coco SHEPHERD ELIZABETH GRACIE WEED OLIVIA SISSON WILLIAM ORION WISTER CHARLES SISSON HAYES WOODWARD PHOEBE SISSON AUGUSTIN SKEITH SAMUEL SKEITH AVERY SLOVER OTTO SMITH SEBASTION STARR MARINA STEINLE NATASHA STEINLE ALEXANDER STEINLE REBEKAH STURGES LUCAS STURGES-MOYNE 64 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL SAILING SCHOOL INSTRUCTORS 2017 HENRY BAIRD ELAINA HAWKINS ALEXANDRA CONTOMICHALOS RYDER HENRY CECILIA CREISSEN EDWARD HERRINGTON DIANA CROMPTON DREW HOPKINS AVA DUPONT GIGI JERVIS LILA DUPONT MADELINE KEEP SKYE EHRHART TYLER KILLION THEODORA ELLIMAN ELIZABETH LEO CAROLINE ELLIOTT LAURA MADEIRA SEBASTIAN ERDMAN CHARLES QUIMBY REEVIE FENSTERMACHER HARRY QUIMBY OLIVER GARDINER CORDELIA SCOTT THEO GARDINER EMILY SEARS AUDREY GIBLIN CHARLOTTE TOOGOOD FRANCIS GOWEN BRYAN TRAMMELL CAMILLA GOWEN ALEXANDRA VITKIN WILSON HANSEN 65 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL SAILING SCHOOL DONORS - The Northeast Harbor Fleet Sailing School thanks the following donors who gave generously to the annual fund from October 1, 2016 to Decemebr 31, 2017 W COMMODORE'S CIRCLE GIFTS OF $5,000 OR MORE BENJI NEILSON THE NEMO FUND DAVID & NANETTE SCHOEDER CHRISTOPHER SCOTT JOHN SULLIVAN DIANA WISTER W FLEET PATRONS GIFTS OF $2,500 TO $4,999 MATTHEW & Liz BAIRD CITRIN FAMILY TED & PATTY MADARA SUSTAINING MEMBER GIFTS OF $1,500 TO $2,499 CHARLES BUTT BRYAN & JAYME COLKET CROWS NEST FUND TEMPLE & ELLIE GRASSI JAMES & ANNE GREEN THE FLORENCE V.
