The system has been was a year of ordered for delivery in the spring of 2015 in momentur m time for the MDI High School Sailing Team season. As of the date of this report, we have raised 75% of the funds to complete the overall GHD project. The five sailing schools that are participating in the program want to thank everyone that has contributed to this project from the MDI community. In part because of the GHD project overall sailing school enrollment was up and scholarships granted exceeded $5,500. We knew we were on the right path when fourteen kids showed up for the Turbo 420 class in August without registering for the class. Although a little chaotic for Liana and staff for a COMMODORE'S REPORT moment, the fact that we are coaxing former students back to the sailing program is a clear signal we are moving in the right direction. T he 2014 season at the Fleet was a year of momentum in terms of Once again we need to thank the NEH Sailing School Board for their countless membership, progress on the Great Harbor Dream project and hours helping out to drive the programming. In addition, in 2015, we will focus on membership programming. expanding our outreach program to the MDI community by offering additional After several years of declining membership, the Fleet has added 15 new adult classes at the Sailing School. family memberships as well as 18 other types of new memberships.

The Fleet also took over race management for the Southwest Harbor Fleet this year with a cost sharing agreement. As a result of this initiative we expanded our race management team to include young members of the Fleet. With Fran acting as a mentor and teacher, Sailing School staff ran the SWHF races and assisted with the Fleet's races. SWHF was pleased with the quality of race management and the opportunity for our staff built responsibility and self confidence. It is one thing to participate in a race, it is totally different experience to take charge and run a race. In 2014, we eliminated the Wednesday non-spinnaker races and focused on Sunday cruising class racing. The result was an increase in the number of boats participating - thanks to the hard work of Mike Above Liana Folger listens to her students as they happily run through the day's regatta. Cook. We continue to work on Below, sailing school instructors create a talking circle to promote inclusion and respect. expanding the involvement of big boats racing at the Fleet using multiple approaches including modifying the rating system every week to equalize the boats' performance based on their daily results. We are pleased to report that we made significant progress realigning the expense structure of the Fleet to reduce operating expenses while at the same time expanding the programming we offer. We are in the final phase of completing the capital expenditures to address deferred maintenance issues. By 2016, capital expenditures should be minimal and allow us to build reserves. In 2014, contributions exceeded $100,000 in cash and gifts to the Sailing School. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your commodore this year. I must thank my fellow officers, Steve Madeira, Mike Cook, and Bill Roberts for their support and encouragement. Please don't hesitate to seek us out with questions, concerns or input to improve the value proposition at the Fleet. See you on the water, David W.

REATH TROPHY The Henry T. Reath Trophy was presented to the fleet in 2003 to honor the memory of Henry T. Reath, a beloved sailor and sportsman. Abundant sunshine and a fifteen knot westerly brought 16 boats out to sail a out the Western Way and around Baker Island, the waters rolling with confus- ing waves from Hurricane Arthur. The breeze built as boats hugged Islesford and benefited from the thermal effect off the warm land. Alyria, raced for the first time by the Beck Family led the fleet across to the north side of Sutton Island. The Luders and IODs hardened up to pass to the south of Sutton but then eased off at the last minute to head north. Sidewinder stayed high and made huge gains going to the south side.

Entry is restricted to fleet members and is open to sailors of all ages Knockout rounds are held prior to the final winner-take-all gold medal race. With 12 competitors contending for the 2014 championship the Fleet was randomly split into two elimination rounds of six boats each. With a modified windward leeward course set to the south of Greening Island there was a 10 knot seabreeze and an ebbing current pushing the boats upwind. The twice defending champ Bill Smith had a tough break in the first elimination race. While winning, his rudder popped off and the boat began to spin in circles while the rest of the fleet sailed away. Feeling that he had some very bad luck, the RC and other competitors felt that he deserved a shot at sailing in the final race. Ned Johnston led the medal race through the gate but made contact with Bill's boat by mistake. Before even hearing the word, Ned immediately made his exoneration turns and Bill sprinted towards the finish line at Shearwater.

A seabreeze filled just before race time for the 89th Hayward Cup pursuit race. The course was set according to tradition, buoys anchored in their precise predetermined locations. Parker Brown led for the first lap in a Mercury without spinnaker. Then the hard charging Luders fleet grabbed the lead with Ned Johnston, Art Paine, and Missy Marron out in front. IODs never got close after starting in a lighter breeze but still had a fine race among themselves with JR Roberts in Woodie eeking out a victory over Gambler skippered by Ryder Henry with his family crew. The J/22 skippered by Tom Hamby finished right behind the IODs. A banquet of tasty treats awaited the sailors at the Fleet House and Connie Madeira, who sailed in her first Hayward Cup in 1930, was on hand to award the trophy to Ned Johnston who sailed Domino solo to a decisive victory. Ludicrous took the award for best natty attire this year. RESULTS PL Boat Type Skipper Ned Johnston in Domino, winner of the 2014 George Davenport Hayward Cup.

CRUISING CLASS The breeze is notoriously capricious on MDI and the Hospice Regatta was no exception. The start of the Cruising Class Hospice Race had great wind to the south but the breeze lost all velocity and pressure as it piled up on the coastline. Sidewinder, skippered by Tom Rolfes ruled the day. Both he and Andrew Barret in Iris skippered their yachts brilliantly, making the desision to sail on the west side of Greening, while the rest of the fleet navigated to the right, into the becalmed waters of Gilpatrick Cove.

A line of friendship sloops paraded through the Great Harbor to add to the gorgeous setting. A full moon tide was ripping out all afternoon which the RC handled by flying the 'I' flag during the starting sequence. Mischief jumped the start signal in the first race but quickly made up for it and rounded the gates in third after a beat to Green Can M at the top of the Hospice Regatta continued 26 27 Western Way. Auriga and Puff were in a virtual tie after the first lap. The second lap went to L with the breeze starting to sheer right with the heat of the day. Auriga took it with Live Yankee capturing the bridesmaid's position from 13 Puff. The second race needed to get postponed as the breeze cranked very hard right. A new course to D was set with a shift farther to the right during the race. It was a total scrum with Gambler gybing first on the run to get position for the warm breeze off Manset. Things got very shifty as boats approached the beach for a finish upwind with Gambler nosing across Dark Star and Mischief to also win the three way tie for the Hospice 2014 championship. Thanks to everyone who supported this great cause. It was wonderful to see SO many folks show up at Morris Yachts to thank the volunteers and sponsors who support their good work throughout the year. The Northeast Harbor Fleet proudly helps sponsor Hospice of Hancock County with 100% participation by our competitors.

Art Paine led the Luders and carried the chute until Bear Island along with VooDoo. The rest of the fleet dropped their chutes at Islesford and hardened up for the south side of Sutton. Only Sidewinder kept its spinnaker up all the way and squeaked by Rice Point for the final dash to Gilpatrick. Dreadnought was coming fast but the snake took the cannon to win the race. Mutiny and Hannah had their problems snagging fishing gear at multiple loca- tions around the race course.

The CAROLE HAALAND TROPHY Suzanne Haaland Trophy will be awarded this year to our champions on next Saturday afternoon at the Fleet House. Furthermore, the Great Harbor Series Donated in 2009 to honor the life of dedicated cruising sailor Carole Haaland. which includes the Henry Reath Race, the entire MDI Series, and the Tom Morris Memorial Race with no throw out races. Dreadnought wins the season for this as well. MDI SERIES THROUGH JULY 27 My sailing coach at Tufts always told me "never sail towards the hockey rink". The water was glassy all over the Great Harbor, SO the RC team of Kacie Madeira, Phil Koch, and Will Green took the fleet to Norwood Cove instead. With plenty of ripples, the competitors were sent either way around Greening to H on the SE corner, over to P, back to the start pin and back up to Gilpatrick Cove.

A bit of ripple in the Western Way gave everyone encouragement but the overcast skies and dank semi-fog just didn't let the heat pump get working. The occasional raft ups in the parking lots near Sutton piled the fleet of six boats together and some even died of old age waiting for wind. Dreadnought broke free finally to a shortened course finish at Q with Mutiny, Sidewinder, and Iris following. Laney Lu and Ranger were going backwards and threw in the white towel to make it home before dark. 36 37 INTERNATIONAL ONE DESIGN IOD Class Captain's Report T he 2014 IOD season went down as yet another great memorable season. With over 18 average sailors on the line in July and August, we continue to push the growing popularity of the class within the Fleet. We would like to congratulate two new "youth" skippers, Jack Roberts and Sean Beaulieu on their helms work this summer. The Class has promoted the IOD class within the younger ranks and hope to continue to add to our growing population to care on the tradition that has been a key component of the Fleet. Above, a stellar light air start by the whole fleet. In coordination with the IOD Class and the NEH Fleet, this year's after Below, J'Ellie Beans' guest skipper and crew whoop it up as they cross the line in first place. race Monday Socials have gone off without a hitch. A big thank to the Fleet and Lauren for assembling such wonderful spreads and to those skippers who donated hydrating refreshments. WE hope to continue this as a tradition in coming years as we try to bring the sailors closer together to discuss the day's tactics and enjoy the beautiful views from the fleet house. This past year in inter-club events marked another high participation from the NEH IOD fleet. We had two skippers compete in the Worlds held in Norway, as well as sending one skipper each to the Nantucket Invitational, North Americans, and Bermuda Race Week. The IOD class hopes to continue to send qualifying NEH skippers to all interclub events. Our goal is to have a skipper from Northeast Harbor to win the World's Looking forward, the class continues to grow its numbers and get more Ellie bean boats on the line, done SO through the NEH fleet and the exceptional race management. Nicholas Schoeder IOD Class Captain 38 39 INDEPENDENCE DAY SERIES Eleven boats came out to race on the day before Hurricane Arthur passed by offshore. The radar was green and yellow in Boston up through Portland but the glow of MDI kept us dry all afternoon. A 5-7 knot southerly began to wobble as we got the sequence underway. Caribou owned the pin with Gambler and Black Seal dueling while Dakota timed things perfectly at mid line. Black Seal was pushed over early and Dark Star bailed out towards Manset. Everyone else held starboard and sailed into the parking lot at Rice Point. The boats which understood what was happening escaped. Some got a parking ticket. Caribou closed the gap on Dark Star but the second beat provided some bizarre MDI conditions. Surface pressure was from the left but upper wind aloft was from the right. Dark Star found a hole and Caribou and Woodie blasted through. The yellow boat's team caught the first cannon blast of the 2014 season. THE REATH TROPHY served as the second race of the series with a Above, the crew of Auriga show their patriotic colors on Independence Day. brisk west wind race around the Cranberries.

Racing these impressive boats solo is between the two races is a bighlight of the summer for both racers and spectators. exhilarating, flying the spinnaker requires great dexterity and leaving and retreaving the mooring is a challenge. This race brings out the best in every sailor who competes. Ideal conditions with a SW gradient breeze made a picture perfect setting for our last laps around the Great Harbor and the Sound. It was exciting to have SO many youth sailors participating with the IOD fleet. The absence of Michael and Dominick at the lunch raft up in Somes Harbor was filled by the many families who brought their motorboats up to spectate, swap stories, and enjoy a unique setting. We counted more than 25 spectator boats following the action. A brisk gradient breeze from the SW-W was kicking up whitecaps as the boats left their moorings on Sunday. The finale of the season attracted six stoic boats Gambler of competitors. The trees were shaking and we didn't dare open the large doors of the Fleet House lest we blow everything off the walls.

It became clear to all of us that one generation supporting two others was not a sustainable model and that the fleet budget would suffer as a result. Our request was for the second generation ages 35-55 to step up and support the institution. The Fleet is a family. Every generation must take a turn at the helm. The response was nearly unanimous. More than fifteen new members joined to support the Fleet in 2014. One fifth generation sailor said to me that she would join because "it was the right thing to do".

The emphasis is on mastery of the skills, not speed. The Towers Seamanship Contest combines practical skills with a demonstration of seamanship knowledge. The event has evolved into a competitive decathlon where teams of students of varying skills depend on one another to contribute their individual strengths. While older students lean on the youngsters to remind them of the proper rigging techniques leanred years before, the younger classes look to their older peers for their experienced sailing and navigating skills.

PENELOPE BROWN 66 67 EFFIE DISSTON FRALEY TROPHY The esteemed trophy is awarded each year to the most improved junior sailor. Presented to the fleet in 1953 by the Fraley family, the trophy honors the memory of Mrs. Bradford Fraley. The Effie Diston Fraley Award is presented to a student whose passion for sailing and the Great Harbor goes beyond the veil of ordinary. This year we congratulate Bryan Trammell, an absolutely impressive student on and off the water. Bryan's achievements in the Turbo 420 class this past summer is a perfect example of the Corinthian spirit that the Sailing School promotes. Competitive and focused on learning the tricks of the trade, Bryan excelled in racing each week and elevating his skills to the next level. Off the racecourse Bryan was just as driven to learn and Sailing school shenanigans help others exceed. This level of dedication, coupled with a downright love of the game and the Great Harbor, is embodied in the Effie Diston Fraley Award, and in the very fiber of the Sailing School.
