As outgoing Commodore, I want to thank the greater MDI community for their support of the Great Harbor Dream project which benefits every sailing school on the Island. The project's momentum has been driven by the strategic initiative five years ago to focus on youth sailing and I would challenge anyone to find a more dynamic classroom to teach young people the life skills they need to become productive members of society. It has brought me great joy to watch our young sailors progress every year-developing their sailing skills, confidence, and team building ability. Thanks to your generosity we have rebuilt the infrastructure of the Fleet over the last five years and continue to refine the programing at the Sailing School to increase enrollment and youth sailing on MDI. The strategic planning process revealed that because of the short sailing season, all of the Island's sailing schools struggled to break even and make sailing classes affordable for many. We elected the last five years to freeze the cost of sailing classes and to rely instead on donations to fund the short fall in the budget. We ask parents to pay what they can afford and we provide a scholarship for the balance of the cost of the sailing class. This emphasis on providing scholarships teaches us a valuable lesson. Parents have been willing to pay for half or more of the lessons, thus proving there is a price point where people can't justify the expense of sailing school classes. I would ask all of you to continue to support the Great Harbor Dream project and the Sailing School to provide access to sailing classes for all of the youth on MDI that desire to sail. In terms of financial results, the Fleet completed the final phase of addressing deferred maintenance issues and has made major progress rebuilding the operating reserves that were depleted after the financial meltdown in 2008. 3 Looking forward, 2017 is going to be an exciting time in the Great Harbor as we host the IOD Worlds. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your commodore. I must thank the operating committee and staff for their effort and commitment. Please seek us out with questions and input to improve the Fleet. See you on the water. David W. Schoeder, Commodore 4 REPORT OF THE FLEET MANAGER Serving as your manager for the eighth season was a fun challenge with multiple landmark events like the Junior Olympics, IOD North Americans, and the new All Fleet Picnic at Baker's Island combined with the Connie Madeira Pursuit Race. Weather was consistently gorgeous from June through September and the Fleet enjoyed hosting a record 174 races over 60 days of racing scheduled. The Fleet has now assumed all of the race management duties for the SWHF SO the weeks are quite packed with racing opportunities in all types of sailing craft. Our staff was led by the always poised and professional Melissa Walls who knows everything about every situation. Fortunately for the Fleet and Sailing School we had two highly motivated boatswains to get all our boats into excellent operational condition and keep everything looking great, -Tucker Charles and Bailey Stillman. They were the folks who also supervised, trained and scheduled all our licensed launch drivers who performed much more than courteous rides to and from vessels. Pancho Cole, Emma Rusk, Chloe Vicenty, and Simon Hulbert helped keep the grounds in order, boats bailed, moorings untangled, sail and boats and docks repaired. They also offered advice and quick sailing lessons to the uninitiated on the spot. Tyler Killion was our Sailing School Director for his first year and had his hands full with the hosting of the Northeast Junior Olympics in his third week on the job. Laura Madeira oversaw the Rowing Instruction and we had an exceptionally talented and dedicated group of sailing instructors who handled the expansion of enrollment in opti class and rowing to levels which resemble the baby boom years. The members of the SS Board who stepped up to help with hosting the JOs were remarkable. Chris Scott was the chief organizer and Kelley Trammell along with Malinda Crain handled registration, scoring, and trophies. Others contributed to housing, meals and snacks, safety boats, launch ramp duty, set up and clean up. It was a wonderfully successful event with only smiles at the conclusion. Race Committee had an influx of volunteers and new teens joining 5 the team this past summer. My wife Sue's thumb was crushed while she was making the anchor fast in a very breezy Reath Trophy. In a welcome response, dozens of members stepped up to assist on Shearwater throughout the summer season. Everyone enjoyed gaining knowledge of how the race committee manages things on the water, and Sue and I were happy to get to know people better. Tucker and Bailey did a fantastic job in the fall season handling the running of races, the safety-mark boat and launch service all at once. Roy Hadlock is one of our most dedicated employees who works very hard in setting all our moorings and docks each year. Roy also helps maintain the fixed piers and does the maintenance work on the floating docks, too. Jane Joseph is our wonderful operator at Clifton Dock who continues to assist our members with a smile, suggestion, and encouragement every day of the week. It would be remiss of me if I did not mention some folks who will no longer be working with the Fleet on an active daily basis after giving years of dedicated service. Billy Roberts has been the Fleet Treasurer and President of Clifton Dock for the past 6 years. He and Emma will finally be able to enjoy trips to Islesford without the stress of Fleet issues hanging over their heads. Kay Graves was our bookkeeper for the past two years and did a wonderful job keeping the posting accurate and knowing how to get anything done in NE Harbor. Kay knows and is loved by all and we will miss her infectious smile and cheerful attitude. Kind regards, Franny Charles, Manager 6 FORMER OFFICERS Commodores GEORGE DAVENPORT HAYWARD 1923-1925 EDWARD W. MADEIRA 1925-1927 W. BARTON EDDISON 1928-1935 HENRY RAWLE 1936-1939 WILLIAM J.

MAHANEY 1993 20 REPORT OF THE CRUISING CLASS CAPTAIN 2016 was an exciting year for the Cruising Class as we inaugurated several new and unique events which by all accounts were very well received. In addition to our traditional events such as the Reath Trophy Pursuit race and the Carol Haaland MDI series, we inaugurated the Connie Madeira Trophy pursuit race, preceded by an all-fleet picnic at Baker Island. The inaugural event was well attended with sixteen boats participating in the racing portion of the day. The event will return this coming season and we hope to have even more participants. Also debuting last season was the Max Warburg Trophy, a two-race pursuit event with a break for lunch at one of the islands around the Great Harbor. Last year's race went to Great Duck and featured ten boats. The Warburg Trophy will also return this year in the same format. We will continue in the 2017 season to provide opportunities to get more boats out racing more often. We will again be offering a crew matching service to put those interested in sailing on boats in touch with skippers in need of crew. In addition to a full slate of events, including the Great Harbor Dream Pursuit Race and party, the Wednesday non-spin series will also return. If you know someone with a boat who might want to race or someone who wants to sail, have them reach out to the Fleet and we'll do the rest.

We had fifteen boats participate in the July series and nineteen boats participate in the August series. Best of all, we saw the return of numerous young helmspersons from the 2015 season which bodes very well for the future of our Class. On August 1, which was the first day of the August series, the Class paid its respects to Freddy Towers with a Circle of Life tribute. Freddy was a past NEH IOD Class Captain, President of the IOD World Class Association and friend to all. In July, we hosted the North American Invitational Regatta with fifteen entries from around the US and Canada. The event was a success and was a good organizational warm-up for the IOD World Championships which we will host in August 2017. Next season will also mark the return of a long lost friend of the IOD Class. Magic Bus, No. 20 will make her long awaited and much anticipated return to our Class!

Many Fleet members participated as crew members and five of the fifteen boats that competed were helmed by our local teams. Others generously filled out the crew for some of our visiting competitors. Many of our sailors devoted countless hours to organize housing, parties, boat repair, meals, rock boats, and race management. It was an inspiring event, bringing together SO many volunteers to make a memorable series. Melissa Walls did an outstanding job organizing entries, caterers, and all of the many details associated with an event of this magnitude. Tucker Charles and Emma Rusk did a remarkable job on mark set for the racers. Employing a daily boat rotation instead of a race-by-race rotation meant that nine races could be completed over the course of the regatta. Mid-summer weather brought us some fickle and light breezes but the mountains of Acadia often turned the heat pump on and pulled in the cool sea-breeze as the day heated up. A relentless northerly was always fighting with high pressure. Congrats to the Defending Champions John Roberts with his able 'Woodie' crew of Jack Roberts, & Drew and Chris Hopkins. They eeked out a hard fought one point victory over our own 'Gambler' team of Chad Thieken, Tyler Steel, John Henry, and Tad Templeton. 33 John Roberts skippering J'Ellie Bean during the IOD North American Championships. 34 JULY 28-30, 2016 NINE RACE SERIES, FIFTEEN BOATS IOD NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2016 TEAM RESULTS PLACE TEAM NAME TEAM No TOTAL SKIPPER(S) 1 Defending Champion 7 23 John Roberts 2 Northeast Harbor I 8 24 Tyler Steel, Chad Thieken 3 Nova Scotia 3 32 Ted Murphy 4 Northeast Harbor Youth 11 43 Carson Crain 5 IOD Class Pres.

A total of twenty-three boats raced, and it was not unusual to see nineteen on the line at the same time. In addition, there are new members of the class who are working on recruiting more sailors and boats to the fleet. The Luders 16 class is currently completing a reorganization, involving new by-laws and rules driven by the explosive growth over the last few years.

We owe a debt of gratitude to our Sailing Director, Tyler Killion, and our Manager, Fran Charles, for taking on these new initiatives with omnipresent enthusiasm and a fair share of elbow grease. The curriculum still requires fine tuning. Our first challenge is the wide variation in student-days; some come for a week, some for the season, and everything in between. Our second challenge, once children move from rowing, is the wide variety of abilities across the age groups. Placing an experienced 9 year old with his equivalent, who is age 12, is never popular. Also, pairing friends and cousins together, as is often emphatically requested, can trump the ideal educational conditions. Sailing school is a place to build both skills and life-long friendships. Our goal has been, and will be, to support one, without sacrificing the other. Having said this, there is a great deal of room for those students who wish to advance, and many have. One of our board members, Ted Madara, gave ten of his summer mornings to hold an advanced racing course for Opti sailors. Our afternoon racing courses in 420's also remain an option for those who want more experience on the water. Wonderfully, we have seen a migration of students, though never enough, into racing as crew in the International and Luders fleets. Safety and general rules were a focus this year. We placed wind speed parameters upon the school to avoid getting caught in a big blow, but thankfully canceling water activity occurred infrequently. All students are required to wear toed shoes (please help us enforce this at home) and several students began taking us up on our non-mandatory, suggested, use of helmets, particularly in our more advanced classes. Discipline on the docks and in boats was more strictly enforced. As is the case every year, we received concerns from parents about safety. Please know that we do all we can to keep our children in a safe 43 environment. It is important to note, however, that the Fleet grounds and sailing on boats carry inherent risks that, no matter how much diligence is given to avoidance, cannot be eliminated. Please, particularly parents of rowers, consider the maturity of your young child and their ability to manage the environment before signing them up. In some cases, giving one more year of ripening on the vine can be the best and safest option. The highlight of the season was the Northeastern Junior Olympic Regatta. There were 175 sailors from around New England in our Great Harbor. Several of our sailors medaled and all put their best foot forward. The Fleet was well represented. Several in our "Green" fleet of young beginners either never finished the first leg, capsized on the second leg, or were fished from the water on the third leg, but all were intrepid as could be and came back a second day for more! It was inspiring to witness. There are too many to thank individually for their assistance in making this regatta such a success. Suffice it to say, the talent and support our young sailors receive from our "big" sailors in the community, is limitless. Cutting to the chase, the board of the school hopes that you will support our general fund this year. Our programs have grown, our scholarships have increased, and the cost of running the school over such a short season is significant. We are in need of a nest egg for future expenses, both foreseen and unforeseen. Your help in feathering that nest would be greatly appreciated. As the world changes around us, and not always for the best, the Fleet dock remains a constant. It is a place of friendships, family, and a love for the sea. We are all SO very lucky to have such a place. My very best, Christopher G. Scott, Northeast Harbor Sailing School President 44 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL JUNIOR SAILORS 2016 ALLEGRA ALFARO AURORA BRZEZINSKI GERRIT ELLIMAN FELIX ALFARO ALEXANDER CAMPBELL JAMES ESPENSHADE COOPER AUSTEN CLAUDIA CITRIN KATHERINE ESPENSHADE ANNABEL AUSTEN JOSEPH CITRIN LOWELL FENSTERMACHER LAURA AUSTEN MARGAUX CITRIN KATHERINE FOULKE ELIZA BAIRD WILLIAM CITRIN ANNABELLE FOULKE ALEXIS BAIRD TAYLOR COLKET JULIA FOULKE PETER BARRETT MILLER COLKET GEMMA Fox AUGUST BARRETT GRIFFIN COLLINS GRIFF Fox ELLEN BARRETT CHASE COLLINS LUKE GARDINER GEORGIA BARTLETT RHYS COLLINS ANNA GARDINER WALKER BARTLETT CAMPBELL COMER ISABELLA GARDINER REED BEALL SPENCER COMER CHARLOTTE GARDINER JASMINE BEARDALL CLARISSA COMER HENRY GOWEN ANNE MARIE BEARDALL DIANA CROMPTON KIKI GRACE JULIA BEEMAN LUKE DAVIS HENRY GRIFFEN AVERY BENELLO HUNTER DAVIS MICHAEL HANSEN SOPHIE BENELLO HENRY DENNIS SOPHIE HANSEN MAXWELL BENSTER WILLIAM DIANA ABRAHAM HARRIS- ISOBEL BENSTER LUKE DIANA STURGES JAKE BENSTER CHASE DOORLY HANNAH HASKELL CALLIOPE BLAINE NICOLAS DUPONT LOUISA HASKELL JESSICA BLATTER JOHN DUFFIE HENRY HASKELL JESSICA BOURNE COLEMAN DUPONT CHILDS HAUCK SOPHIA BOURNE WILLAMINA DUPONT BELLA HAUCK RACHEL BRACKETT LUCIEN DURIEZ ELAINA HAWKINS CHARLIE BRIGGS HUGO DURIEZ ELISE HAWKINS 45 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL JUNIOR SAILORS 2016 BROOKS HAWKINS SOPHIE KENNEDY OLIVE MITCHELL SCARLETT HAWKINS LUCY KENNEDY NEVA MITCHELL HOUSTON HECKMAN DILLON LAKE SPENCER MOFFAT JAY HENRY LILLY LAKE JULIA MOFFAT WILLIAM HENRY JAMES LAPSLEY OLIVIA MUNDY CAMPBELL HERRINGTON SARAH LAWSON CADE MUNDY LIAM HIGGINS STEPHAN LEBLANC HALE MURCH ANDERS INGLE ALEX LEFEBVRE JAMES MURCH SAGE INGLE PETER LEHRMAN JOHN MURCH ELSA INGLE ISABEL LEHRMAN ALEXANDRA NATHAN OLIVE INTINARELLI JAMES LEHRMAN ELLIE NATHAN ELMA INTINARELLI FRANCIS LEO MILO NITZE MIMI ISLE ELIZABETH LEO EVERLEE NITZE TALLY JERVIS JACINTA LOPEZ HAYLEY O'CONNOR GIGI JERVIS EDWARD MADARA IV TEDDY ORTHWEIN HEATH JERVIS HENRY MARONEY HENRY ORTHWEIN PHILIPPA J ERVIS MILLS MARONEY WYATT ORTHWEIN EMMA JETT MADARA MARRON SOFIA ORTONA KATE JOHNSON ALEX MARRON HOLLY PEABODY JOSIAH JONES STELLA MARSH KATO PENNINGS BANNO JONES MAGNUS MARSH ALICE PIERCE GEORGE KARONIS LUKE MARTINEZ SUMMER PIERCE CARL KARST CATIE MARTINEZ CRYSTAL RAMOS MORGAN KARST JIMMY McCLELLAN TYLER RAPP JACK KARST ELIZA MELLON DILLON RAPP JOSEPH KENNEDY PORTER MELLON AMELIA RHEE KATHERINE KENNEDY STOKES MELLON ISABELLA RIESENFELD 46 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL JUNIOR SAILORS 2016 HALSEY ROBINSON LUCAS STURGES-MOYNE ERIK ROOMET DAPHNE STURGES-MOYNE AMELIA Ross LUCINDA SULLENS MELANIE SANBORN MILLICENT SULLENS JESSICA SANBORN LAVON SWABY BROOKE SARACCO ELINOR SWANSON MARINA SCHAFER GRAYSON TOOGOOD LUCINDA SCHAFER CHARLOTTE TOOGOOD CHLOE SCHIFF BRYAN TRAMMELL JACKSON SCHLEMMER SOPHIE TRAMMELL LUCY SCHLEMMER NICHOLAS VAN ALEN CORDELIA SCOTT BRINTON VAN ALEN OLIVER SCOTT LAURENS VAN ALEN BAILEY SHEPHERD THEODORE VAN ALEN PIPER SHEPHERD JAMES VAN ALEN OLIVIA SISSON GRACE VAN ALEN CHARLIE SISSON LUCAS VAN ALEN, JR PHOEBE SISSON ARTHUR VILLA BASS OTTO SMITH ELLIE WALMSLEY HENRY SPRAGUE SOMERS WARDMAN CORBIN STANLEY ELIZABETH WEBB EMMA STANLEY SAMANTHA WEBSTER SEBASTION STARR NIEFA WILLIAMS FREYA STARR WILLIAM ORION WISTER MARINA STEINLE HAYES WOODWARD ALEXANDER STEINLE NICHOLAI STEINLE 47 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL SAILING SCHOOL INSTRUCTORS JAMIE LYNN ATTERBURY CHRISTOPHER HOPKINS LANSING CLARK CATHERINE HOPKINS SOFIA CONTOMICHALOS VIRGINA JERVIS ALEXANDRA CONTOMICHALOS ALEXANDRA JONES CECILIA CREISSEN MADELINE KEEP EMMA DRAPER TYLER KILLION AVA DUPONT TIMOTHY LAPSLEY TEDDY ELLIMAN JUSTIN LILLEY CAROLINE ELLIOTT MADELINE LILLEY SKYE ERHART LAURA MADEIRA ELEANOR FENSTERMACHER MERIWETHER MORRIS BLAKE FYNN NICHOLAS PEARSON THEODORE GARDINER ADRIAN PEARSON OLIVER GARDINER BEA PIERREPONT FRANCIS GOWEN HARRISON QUIMBY CAMILLA GOWEN CHARLES QUIMBY JOSEPH GRACE MATTHEW SEARS WILSON HANSEN EMILY SEARS WILL HARRINGTON CHARLOTTE TOOGOOD EDWARD HARRINGTON BRYAN TRAMMELL ELAINA HAWKINS ALEXANDRA VITKIN RYDER HENRY 48 NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET SAILING SCHOOL SAILING SCHOOL DONORS The Northeast Harbor Fleet Sailing School Board of Directors, on behalf of all members acknowledge the generosity of these donors.
