The Sailing School is thriving and attendance is up (275 kids participated this year). The racing has been exciting and participation is high, we have 19 new members this year, our fleet of boats is in great condition, as are the Fleet House and the grounds. All of this good news doesn't happen by itself SO before I go any further I must thank some of those that make this place run SO well. As a member, you see a 10-week season of races, sailing classes, moorings and docks, newsletters, picnics and non-stop fun. You may not realize the amount of work that goes on throughout the rest of the year SO that the Fleet can operate at "full throttle" in July and August. I want to thank the Officers of the Fleet: David Schoeder - Vice Commodore, Steve Madeira - Rear Commodore, Bill Roberts - Treasurer, and Scott Redmon - Clerk as well as the rest of the Management Committee for their time, dedication and support. I also wish to thank the people who are here every day and make running the Fleet look easy. General Manager, Fran Charles, and Lauren Simmons, Business Manager, are both completing their third season with us. It just keeps getting better and better. In April of this year, I had the opportunity to attend the first US Sailing Yacht Club Summit in Chicago along with Vice Commodore Schoeder, Rear Commodore Madeira, and General Manager Fran Charles. There were more than 185 clubs of various shapes and sizes represented and we learned very quickly that all clubs are dealing with the Fleet Organization - Page 2 same issues: aging membership rosters, declining participation on the water, budget deficits, rising insurance premiums, the need to upgrade facilities, etc. We spent two days attending seminars on these topics and many others and came away with several goals for this season and beyond. We agreed that we must (1) engineer a Mission Statement for the Fleet that accurately reflects who we are and what we believe our mission to be, and (2) we must receive members' input on how to maintain the Fleet as a vibrant and relevant institution going forward. To accomplish this, we held a series of focus groups over the summer to discuss the different aspects of Fleet membership and how a member's experience at the Fleet could be improved. We polled the past Commodores, members involved with the Sailing School, and members involved in racing and the MDI community for their thoughts. The responses and the ideas we received have been fantastic. It is clear that we all care deeply about the Northeast Harbor Fleet. Thank you to everyone who participated in the focus groups. We are happy to hear from all of our members, SO if you have a suggestion or comment, please share it with us. With your input, we will begin work on a plan that we hope to announce to the membership before the 2012 season. In closing, thanks to all of you for your patience, your support and your ideas. I am very grateful. With my best wishes for 2012, Malinda Crain, Commodore Waterfront on Family Night 2011 Fleet Manager's Report Our season of waterfront enjoyment began with a renewed objective: to better serve our membership by offering more fun activities which will inspire the youth to make the Fleet the focus of their summer recreation. To that end, we added family nights to the schedule and enhanced our Sailing School offerings. Many adults were lacking comfort in handling their own boats, SO we promoted classes and private lessons for adult sailing and power boating to fill the void. Director Bryan Peugh organized the daily lesson plans, keeping the program vibrant by instilling energy and new ideas into areas which had become stale. Our instructor base for rowing and sailing was a seasoned group of young adults who expertly inspired passion and enjoyment to their pupils. Our Operations Manager, Lauren Simmons, continued to have her finger on the pulse of all aspects of the Fleet and Sailing School. Lauren's warm and friendly disposition was coupled with her tireless attitude and ability to solve any issue. Moorings, class registration, food for teas and events, new membership applications, dinghy tie-ups and helping promote the very full schedule by drafting 'This Week at the Fleet' are a few of the many responsibilities which Lauren expertly handles. This email communication piece, produced by Sue Charles, was very well received as it provided much more detail on upcoming activities than the traditional calendar. Roy Hadlock not only provided the daily support to keep the dock systems fully functional but also was responsible for overseeing and implementing the upgrade of another 40 of our moorings to our new system. Hurricane Irene was luckily only a minor inconvenience as all boats were secured and we had no gear failures. Mooring pennants Fleet Organization - Page 4 and buoys are quite clean and the chains lay in the mud during the off season which will extend their lifespan. A slightly wider dinghy dock was built by Roy at Clifton and a gooseneck attachment for the top of the gangway was adapted to make it more durable. Our boson, Liz Monahon, assumed responsibility for all of the boat maintenance and waterfront service by keeping the launch, the RC boat, 420s, dinghies, Optis, and Mercuries all functional and good looking. Upgrades on the Mercs were the highlight of the season with reefed mainsails and full cockpit covers that made sailing easier and more convenient for all. Gear that needs service is always upgraded to a better design in order to keep our sailing equipment functional, durable, and easy to use for multiple sailors of all different skill levels. Deb Brown kept the bookkeeping in line for the Fleet, Sailing School and Clifton Dock Corporation. Under the direction of Treasurer Bill Roberts, Deb has years of experience posting transactions and maintaining the various data bases to serve all three corporations. Sailboat racing at the Fleet was a resounding success with high participation in the IOD Fleet Series and Cruising Class races. Luders Class racing was added to Sunday afternoons with sailors enjoying multiple short course races. It was encouraging to see so many Luders and IODs participate in the 'all Fleet' pursuit races which are exciting but low key. The RC was managed by Fran Charles with assistance from Sue Charles. Bardy Roberts and Tucker Charles did a remarkable job at setting gates and offset buoys on a regular basis. Race courses always varied by location and by never using the same course style twice in the same day. Racing is exciting, friendly, and always competitive. As a result we have generated a robust attendance at all Fleet race days. Our flag officers led by Commodore Malinda Crain have been extremely supportive and anxious to continue to make the Fleet a better organization as people's lifestyles change. Making our organization modern and receptive to new and prospective members while serving the principles which inspired its creation in 1927, has been no small challenge. Vice Commodore David Schoeder, Rear Commodore Steve Madeira, and Treasurer Bill Roberts have actively invested countless hours in understanding how the organization can sustain, change in a positive way, and grow in its service to the membership. Commodore Crain led various discussions to better understand what the Fleet can do in the future for the youth, the community, the racers and our long standing membership base. A proactive yet reflective leadership will keep the Fleet strong and vibrant in the 21st century. The operational staff is excited to follow the lead of your officers to help make 2012 even better than any other year at the Fleet.

DICKEY MEMORIAL AWARD This award honors a Fleet member who, through excellence in the sport of sailing and/ or dedication and service, has made significant contributions to the Fleet. It is named after Charles Dennison Dickey, whose contributions predate the Fleet itself and span two World Wars. On Labor Day, 1913, Dickey sailed Bird, a 17' Knock-about or "B" boat, to win the first recorded one-design race in the area. In 1919, Dickey and three others (George Davenport Hayward, Edward W. Madeira, and Francis C. Grant) formed a "Race Committee" to govern a series of knockabout races in A & B-boats. In 1923, he was a member of the Fleet's founding Executive Committee under Commodore George Davenport Hayward. Dickey served as rear commodore in 1927, and then vice- commodore in 1928 and 1944.

Like many of us, he had summer jobs as the racing coach at Norotor YC and then Pleon Yacht Club. He crewed on, then later became paid captain of GEM and crewed for Dave Curtis in winning the 1978 Etchells 22 North Americans Championships. A Taft and Tufts graduate, he served as the varsity sailing coach when Taft was runner-up in the Interscholastic Nationals. His team then voted him to be the recipient of the Toby Baker Award, recognizing his contribution to Taft sailing having served as the school's first varsity captain and then returning to coach. His active one-design sailing interest in IODs and Lightnings inevitably led to sailing as tactician for Charlie Hemlin in the 1982 IOD Worlds (5th place) at the Fleet where he met Carolyn "Callie" Madeira the future Mrs. Brauer. Henry has given back to the sport in many ways, serving for 5 years on the US Sailing Training Committee, as president of the Pleor YC Board, and as a flag officer and commodore of The Northeast Harbor Fleet. He is also a member of the New York and Eastern Yacht Clubs. He has organized campaigns in the Sonar, Atlantic, J/80, and J/105 classes over the past 10 years including winning the Cressy Trophy as the outstanding boat at Marblehead Race Week; finishing 5th or better in the Sonar NA's, NE's, and AC championships; placing 3rd in the Atlantic Nationals hosted by KYC; finishing 2nd Overall in the J/80 World Tour and in the top 5 at the St. Pete NOOD and Charleston Race Week twice. The pinnacle of this activity occurred this summer. After campaigning the J/105 SCIMITAR for two seasons, winning the PHRF-NE's, and placing 5th at Marblehead Race Week, his team won the J/105 North American Championship by 13 points over a very tough 42 boat fleet in Marbiehead. Congratulations, Commodore Braver. You represent us well.

REATH TROPHY July 3 Temps in the lower 60s and an afternoon forecast for rain and thunderstorms made for a light turn out for the first pursuit race of the season. Course 4 was displayed which had the competitors sail inside the Great Harbor to starboard. As in the past, the choice of which side to leave Sutton Island was critical. North, a Luders 16 with Pancho Cole at the helm, headed to the MDI side while Sidewinder, Far Out, and Revolution 9 followed. They had good breeze until about two-thirds of the way out east and then all the rigs went upright. A gigantic vacuum glued them to the water while the remainder of the fleet worked the zephyrs on the south side of the island. Va Pensiero got to East Bunker Ledge first with Gaylark, Eventyr, and Flirt in pursuit. The RC shortened the course to send competitors to Great Cranberry, SW Harbor, the mouth of the Sound and back to S. The breeze got fickle off Islesford and Va Pensiero ran out of gas first. The trailing boats saw the parking area and headed up to avoid the skating-like water surface. Gaylark led the fleet home by almost ten minutes and took the gun for spinnaker and masters. Congratulations to Dr. Kaighn Smith and crew who masterfully worked the light windshifts to their advantage. Laney Lu won the non-spinnaker division with Mark and Sandy Kryder at the helm. They were also the first all-family boat to finish.

It is open to all boats longer than 22-feet. The starting sequence is predetermined by a boat's rating: the slower boats start first and the faster boats last. The first to cross the finish line wins the race. This is a fun format for competitors as there is a lot of passing during the race and participants are usually within sight for the entire competition. The 2011 Far Out Pursuit Race got under way in dense fog and a southerly breeze of 5-8 knots. Jean Beaulieu's Biscuit was first to go at 1240 followed by the Luders, the IODs, and then cruising class boats. Starting from Q at Spurling Point off Cranberry, the racers were sent on a multiple lap race course up to E, the red flasher at the mouth of the Western Way, and then back to W, the red flashing gong between Bear Island and Sutton Island. Occasionally the puffs got very weak but progress was made. On the second lap to mark W, more than 3 hours had expired from Biscuit's start and the sea surface was looking like a skating rink. The course was shortened. Flirt had just reeled in the IODs by jibing around E and working the middle of the Western Way with the tide still flooding.

That series was conducted under "plain sails" or in other words" no spinnakers," even though the knockabouts sailed at the time had spinnakers. These low key races are open to all area keelboats over 20' LOA. Races start most Wednesday afternoons at 1330 hours to catch the see breeze and make it easier to enlist crew from the junior sailing program. Boats sailed single-handed have won. IODs and other boats that don't normally race with GPS instruments are allowed to race with them in this series.

INTERNATIONAL ONE-DESIGN 2011 Class Captain's Report The summer of 2011 produced some of the best races ever-we had great course management combined with perfect weather punctuated by a small hurricane at the end just to keep us on our toes. Two factors helped enhance this season's racing experience: two races per day, weather permitting, and the addition of Maine Maritime students filling in as crew when needed. The MMA students are an enthusiastic addition to our fleet. David Schoeder's management skills were tested here and proved worthy, thank you David. As a result, more races and more boats on the line made this a very memorable summer. Creative race course sets by Team Fran always proved challenging. We had mid-course gates, far flung marks around Bowden Ledge or to either side of Greenings, etc. all adding to the experience. Great feedback following each race, training classes, and all around proactive support from Fran has helped everyone improve their sailing skills. Well, almost everyone The usual suspects led the field around the course with Gambler leading the charge, sailed by Tyler in July and John "carbon forever" Henry in August, followed closely by Micshief's Bill "wood forever" Dowling. Tundra, was always in the hunt along with Gosling, Dram (cheater stick), and Auriga. These boats were the lead pack, also known as the single digit club by those of us in the rear, thank you. The season ended with a very successfully over-subscribed and over-served fleet party at Islesford dock. Stay tuned for 2012! In conclusion, we're sailing a perfect boat and had another perfect summer.

When the Fleet opened for the season, members were greeted by new cockpit covers, a new halyard system and new mainsails on the Mercuries at their moorings. Everyone was excited to try out the new additions and participation in the Merc events was at an all-time high. The Thursday night races were very well attended by all ages with pizza being a prize for everyone after racing. In addition, family scavenger hunts and destination sails and cookouts put the Mercuries in high demand. Often, a child would sail an Opti while the parents piloted a Mercury to the cookout. What fun to have multi-generations sharing the experience! Another very popular event was the "kids only" moonlight sail under a beautiful full moon in Gilpatrick Cove. These are memories that will last a lifetime. Next on the horizon is restoring participation of the Mercs on the starting line for the Saturday and Monday races. Experienced member Mercury sailors as well as the instructors will provide support, mentorship and the excitement of intense competition for the younger sailors in our fleet. We want our youth out using their hands, sensing: the water, direction of the wind, water's temperatures, tide's action, feel of a breeze, splash of a white cap, smell and taste of the sea- the Great Harbor. As our ten Mercuries begin their sixth decade on the waters of MDI, a new generation is looking forward to the many summer sailing adventures ahead. Respectfully submitted, Toby Elliman, Mercury Class Captain Mercury Class - Page 34 ARCTURUS Young sailors racing Arcrurus 4 01 10 A Thursday Evening Mercury Race Mercury Class - Page 35 NORTHEAST HARBOR SAILING SCHOOL 2011 President's Report Approximately 275 students enrolled in classes at the sailing school this summer-up a bit from last year. This said, attendance as measured by "kid weeks' (the total number of class weeks attended) was down by approximately 1.5%. This issue was likely due to individual students spending less time in Maine. Attendance in Beginning Mercuries was the same as last year, while attendance in Beginning Optis, Beginning 420s, Intermediate Mercuries, and Advanced Optis increased. Attendance in Rowing decreased as an outsized number of 2010 rowers advanced through our programs. Additionally, three new classes - Adventure Sailing, Adult Learn to Sail, Adult Powerboating - were added in 2011. Finally, to encourage even more time and fun on and around the water, a number of special events were organized to include luaus, night sails, and family nights. One such family night was in Valley Cove where fifty or SO students and Fleet Members enjoyed a gracious barbeque and a beautiful evening. This summer was a busy year for sailing school students and staff. Instructors organized and ran our traditional races, including the Barton Eddison, Peggy Kennedy, Campbell Henry, and the Towers Seamanship Contest. In addition, students participated in the Junior Hospice Regatta and the Seal Harbor Regatta. Despite the rain, several clubs traveled to the DEJSA All Women's Regatta hosted by NEHSS. The sailing school awarded scholarships to seven students totaling $3,625 in tuition dollars. 2011 was an exciting and safe summer where we enjoyed near perfect weather - this could be a record for Northeast Harbor!

Murch Junior Sailing - Page 48 SPECIAL HONORS CAPTAINS' ROWING AWARDS This award was presented to the Fleet in 1979 by Mr. C. A. Porter Hopkins. It is awarded to members of the Rowing Class, one in July and one in August, who are outstanding rowers and enthusiastic and disciplined members of the rowing class. The name, "Captain's Award," is derived from the fact that in years past many families had captains for their boats and launches. These captains spent much time, while awaiting orders from their employers, looking after and assisting the young children around the dock, teaching them to learn about and respect the water. The award is a mahogany plaque, which hangs on the wall in the Fleet displaying the winners for each year. The winner in July and the winner in August has their name engraved on a brass plate mounted on the plaque. The winners also receive a small Fleet burgee to keep. These burgees are given by Mr. Hopkins each year. The honored captains to be congratulated for 2011 are Joey Kennedy for July and Wally Capen for August. The rowing classes were led by our head instructor, Alex Clark.

Mrs. Fraley was, for many years, Chairman of the House Committee and also was very active in racing. The trophy is awarded each year to the most improved junior sailor. Congratulations to award winner Jerika Quellette for her ou itstanding year as a junior sailor. The staff of the Northeast Harbor Fleet and Sailing School is proud to present the 2011 Effie Disson Fraley award to Jerika Cullette. Jerika's dedication to the sport and passion for the art of sailing is unparalleled. No matter the weather, Jerika wished to sail; no matter the time of day nor the level of her energy, Jerika left her vessel in immaculate sailing condition. She was a great presence at the Fleet throughout the summer, always available to lend a helping hand. For a dedication to sailing that will no doubt last her entire lifetime, Jerika more than deserves this award.

Smith XV Alan McIlhenny Jr. Yachts - Page 61 FLAG ETIQUETTE 14 Rounding Rebecca during the Labor Day Series. General Flags shall be flown properly or not at all. Morning colors are made at 0800; evening colors at sunset. As used herein, "at anchor" means not underway; "may" means the routine is permissible; "shall" means the routine is required; "starboard spreader" means the lowest, forward-most starboard spreader. Only one flag may be displayed in the position called for by the routine. Ex- cept as noted herein, any conflict shall be resolved by observing the following hierarchy: 1. Ensign 2. Race Committee flag while acting as committee boat 3. Commodore, Vice Commodore, Rear Commodore in that order 4. Union Jack 5. Club Burgee 6. Private Signal Ensign As used herein, "ensign" means the national ensign or the traditional (circle of thirteen stars around a fouled anchor) yacht ensign (if of U.S. registry). A yacht in commission and manned shall display the ensign as follows: Fleet Administration - Page 62 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. 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. The ensign shall not be dis- played while racing. 3. The traditional yacht ensign shall not be flown in inter- national waters. NEHF Burgee The Club burgee may be displayed only when a yacht is under the direct command of a Northeast Harbor Fleet member. The Club burgee shall be displayed at the bow staff of single masted power yachts, at the foremost truck of schooners and multi-masted power yachts and at the mainmast truck of other rigs. The Club burgee shall be flown ONLY at the masthead position, never at a spreader or other unauthorized position. The Club burgee may be displayed at night. Dressing Ship On the appropriate occasions, a yacht may, when at anchor (or when un- derway in a marine parade), weather permitting, dress ship from morning to evening colors. Any sequence is acceptable. The proper procedure is that the halyard line of the last flag off the bow and the stern should just touch the waterline. Private Signal The private signal is normally displayed when the ensign is hoisted. It may be displayed at the mainmast truck of schooners and power yachts and at the mizzen truck of yawls and ketches. Cutters and sloops may display the private signal at the truck in lieu of the burgee except while at anchor. At anchor, they may display the private signal at the jack staff. The private signal may be displayed at night.

Article I - Membership SECTION 1. Membership in the Northeast Harbor Fleet shall be open to persons interested in yachting and shall be divided into seven classes, namely: Honorary Members, Senior Members, Family Members, Individual Members, Intermediate Members, Non-Resident Members, and Resident Student Members. The Board of Directors, or its designees may from time to time elect eligible persons to one of the seven classes of membership. Candidates for membership must be nominated and seconded for membership by Family, Individual or Intermediate members in good standing. * The nominating let- ters should be addressed to the Chairman of the Membership Committee, The Northeast Harbor Fleet, P.O. Box 462, Northeast Harbor, Maine 04662. A former member in good standing* may re-activate a lapsed membership by application to the Chairman of the Membership Committee. "In good standing means that all dues, assessments and fees for current and prior years have been paid in full". HONORARY MEMBERS - Honorary Members shall be such persons as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect to Honorary Membership. Honorary Members are entitled to the full privileges of membership. There are no dues or assessments for Honorary Members. SENIOR MEMBERS - A member who has reached the age of 80, and who has paid dues for a period of 35 years shall not be required to pay further dues and assessments. Annual dues and assessments for those members who reach the age of 70 and who have been members for 25 years may be at a re- duced rate as set by the Board of Directors. Senior Members have the same privileges as Individual Members. FAMILY MEMBERS - Any person or couple otherwise eligible for membership may be elected to Family Membership of the Fleet. Family Mem- bership is required when more than one individual in a family unit consisting of a head of household, his or her spouse and or their children under the age of 24 desires to enjoy the privileges of membership or to extend these privileges to Family Guests (defined as visiting children, grandchildren, or great grand- children of the Family Member(s) for a period not to exceed two weeks each summer). Family Guests need not be resident in the same household as the Family Member(s). In no case will Family Guests be eligible for more than two weeks membership privileges per summer. Upon reaching the age of 24 children of Family Members shall be automatically eligible for Intermediate Membership.

For the purposes of this section, a director or officer has an indirect interest in a transaction if (a) another entity in which the director or officer has a material Fleet Administration - Page 68 interest or in which the director or officer is a general partner is a party to the transaction; or (b) another entity of which the director or officer is a director, officer or trustee is a party to the transaction. SECTION 2.

SECTION 3. A transaction in which a director or officer has a conflict of interest may be approved by the directors or the members before or after consummation of the transaction as follows: A. The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board may authorize, approve or ratify a transaction under this section if the material facts of the transaction and the director's or officer's interest are disclosed or known to the Board or committee of the Board. A conflict-of-interest transac- tion is approved if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors or on a committee of the Board who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction, but a transaction may not be approved under this subsection by a single director. If a majority of the directors who have no direct or indirect interest in the transaction vote to approve the transaction, a quorum is present for the purpose of taking action under this Section. B. The members may authorize, approve or ratify a transaction under this Section if the material facts of the transaction and the director's or officer's interest are disclosed or known to the members. A conflict-of-interest transaction is approved by the members if it receives a majority of the votes entitled to be counted under this Section.

Wilbur, EA INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT February 1, 2012 To the Board of Directors of The Northeast Harbor Fleet Northeast Harbor, Maine We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the Northeast Harbor Fleet (a non-profit corporation) as of September 30, 2011, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The prior year's summarized comparative information has been derived from the Northeast Harbor Fleet's 2010 financial statements, and in our report dated January 24, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in these circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fleet's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

MAINE 04605 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies The Northeast Harbor Fleet financial statements include the operations for which the Board exercises oversight responsibility. Oversight responsibility is demonstrated by financial interdependency, designation of management, ability to significantly influence operations, and accountability for fiscal matters. Nature of Activities The purpose of The Northeast Harbor Fleet is to provide racing & cruising activities serving 427 members in Northeast Harbor, Maine. Basis of Accounting The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis. The significant accounting policies following are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader. Financial Statement Presentation Net assets and revenues, expenses, gains and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets of the Fleet and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Unrestricted Net Assets - Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations, including board designated and the carrying value of all fixed assets. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Values of Financial Instruments The fair values of investments are based on quoted market prices for those investments. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Organization maintains cash balances at one bank located in Maine. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. There were no uninsured funds at September 30, 2011 and 2010 respectively. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows the Organization considers all highly liquid investments available for current use with an initial maturity of three months or less to be HM cash equivalents.

However, the Fleet is subject to Federal income tax on its unrelated trade or business income of $1,000 or more. Interest income of $100 was taxable for 2011 and $685 for 2010. The Fleet is eligible for the credit for small employer health insurance premiums. The credit for 2011 is $1,064. The Fleet regularly reviews and evaluates its tax position taken in previously filed information returns and as reflected in its financial statements, with regard to issues affecting its tax exempt status, the event of an examination by taxing authorities, its position would prevail based upon technical merit of such positions. Therefore, the Fleet has concluded that no tax benefits or liabilities are required to be recognized with the exception of interest income and the credit for small employer health insurance premiums. The Northeast Harbor Fleet tax returns are subject to federal and state review by taxing authorities for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Leisenring | Minturn V. Chace Mike Chace was a true "modern era Commodore" who brought to the Fleet a passion to connect us with other local sailing clubs, who was a founder and sustainer of DownEastRace Week for the Cruising Class, who encouraged the development of the Fleet's new Sailing School and resulting relationship with our own year round community, who brought young people onto his International Chibiabos and injected them with competitive spirit, and who regularly celebrated the contributions of others while understating his own. He was SO proud and happy to have enjoyed three more Northeast Harbor summers than his doctors originally predicted, and we will remember him vividly and fondly for many summers to come. Flags lowered and hats off, Commodore Chace! * Members reported deceased since the last publication. Apologies for anyone we may have missed. The Fleet appreciates receiving, from family or friends, a 60-70 word paragraph of boating background similar to those above. If the member was an officer of the Fleet, a recent boating picture is also requested. Members - Page 80 Pages 81-111, the List of Members, have been removed to protect personal information.
