2010 Commodore's Report
First of all, I've enjoyed serving as your commodore. This job has been made easier
by the dedication and enthusiasm of you all as the members of "The Fleet," by the
professionalism of Fran Charles and his staff, and by the involvement of those serving
on the Management Committee, including the Fleet Captains of IODs, Cruising Class,
and Mercurys. To all of them and on the behalf of all members, I am most grateful.
To give you some idea of the contribution they are making, here are some unsolicited
comments recently received:
From a member: "I've not seen such enthusiasm amongst Northeast Harbor children
in 20 years. Great Job!" For this we can thank your new commodore, Malinda Crain,
who has been President of NEHSS, as well as the school's program director, Christine
Wilson, and operations manager, Lauren Simmons.
From an IOD Worlds participant returning to the Fleet after a number of years: "The
fleet manager, Fran Charles, embodies the Fleet spirit that we remember from our years
in the Fleet's sailing program; it's infectious."
From a long time IOD sailor: "Ibelieve this world championship was the most successful
such event that I have seen in any part of the world-ever." That says something about
Fran Charles and his PRO skills, it is a huge accolade for incoming Vice Commodore
Dave Schoeder, who invested many days in order to make both the NA's in 2009 and
2010 Worlds a success, and it's because of the hospitality, planning, and time put in by
many others in the IOD Fleet. We 're proud that three Fleet member skippers finished
in the top eight: Elliott Wislar (with Steve Madeira aboard) are the 2010 World Cham-
pions albeit sailing under the flag of the LIS Fleet. John Henry was fifth, and David
Rockefeller was eighth. Well Done!
Fleet Organization - Page 2
The Fleet is about sailing and good things are happening here. In August, eighteen
IODs came out for Saturday racing the most I recall ever having seen. MDI Sunday
cruising races and Wednesday non-spinnaker racing regularly attracted eight to ten
boats. The more casual "all Fleet" pursuit races in both spinnaker and non-spinnaker
divisions with trophies for top female, family, and master's category winners attracted
upwards of twenty boats.
As for our membership, the total number in all categories did not change: 426 in 2010
vs. 427 last year; but, the mix is changing. Student and Intermediate members are up by
fifteen, Family and Individual are down by eight. That could be a positive trend, because
the biggest challenge facing the Fleet is both demographic and economic-attracting
the next generation to become Fleet members with their kids as the very large, aging
baby boomer segment of the population (55-65 year olds) moves on.
The Northeast Harbor Sailing School had another good year with 266 students, up
slightly from last year, with large gains in Rowing, Beginning 420's, Intermediate
Mercurys, and Advanced Optis classes. Your continued support through an annual
donation is greatly appreciated and is a very worthwhile investment in the Fleet's future.
Fleet Manager Fran Charles will make clear in his report that 2010 was not without
its challenges in staying ahead of the maintenance of buildings, grounds, 546' (almost
two football fields) of dock length, 55 sailboats, 7 power boats, and 126 moorings. Fran
has done a great job in coordinating this work. New long-term cost-saving procedures
put in place are keeping the lid on future maintenance expenses.
We thank our Trophy Committee, Connie Madeira and Ellie Andrews, for their help in
sustaining the traditions of the Fleet by organizing the trophies, inscribing the winners
and their part in making today's event a special one.
My special thanks again go to past commodores: Andrews, Madeira, Brauer, and Rock-
efeller for their continued support and counsel. Also, thanks to Vice Commodore Haaland
for hosting the opening staff picnic and his ongoing help. And to the members of the
Management Committee for volunteering their time to attend four meetings during the
year and for their dedication in making the Fleet a welcoming center of boating activity.
Treasurer, Bill Roberts dove in to take charge of the finances, Clifton Dock Corp., and
the moorings over the past year and has been invaluable as an officer of the Fleet. He
also serves as president of the Fleet-owned Clifton Dock Corporation, which oversees
the leasing of the dock and management of all moorings at Clifton and Gilpatrick Cove.
Best wishes for 2011,
Robert L. Johnstone, III, Commodore
Delivered at the Annual Meeting of Members
August 28, 2010

2010 Fleet Manager's Report
Staying ahead of the maintenance issues prior to this past boating season was chal-
lenging, to say the least. The warm and friendly attitude of the staff members who
spearheaded this effort should not go unrecognized.
Despite all of the hurdles we faced, Christine Wilson, with support from Lauren Sim-
mons, made sailing fun and helped to develop boating comfort amongst all of our youth.
The enthusiasm she created around the sport was infectious; the full-time and junior
instructors, in addition to learning race management skills for the big boats, created a
magical atmosphere on the water in and around Gilpatrick Cove every day.
Dave Grasso, Lauren Simmons, and Bill McNamara drove the Philip M. Caughey
during the season at Gilpatrick Cove. It was a pleasure to have all three launch driv-
ers assisting our membership on and off the water. Deb Brown did a remarkable job
preparing the 2009 Annual Report and taking on the bookkeeping responsibilities for
the three corporate entities.
As for our maintenance issues, the Fleet House and Clifton Dock building both had
severe window and door leaks. The resulting moisture build-up was beginning to cause
structural damage. Roy Hadlock headed up the major reconstruction work needed at
both buildings with help from Dave Grasso.
In addition to his repair work on both the Fleet House and the Clifton Dock building,
Roy rebuilt the floating docks at Clifton. The main docks there were stored in-water
for years. As a result, much of the structural timber was shot and the floatation was
partially eaten away. After hauling them out last fall to a storage yard in Manset, the
floats were balanced on 55-gallon drums to dry out. Starting in February, Roy replaced
Fleet Organization - Page 4
rotten frames, attached new galvanized cleats, built new decks, and lined both the Gil-
patrick and Clifton floats with vinyl rub rail. In addition, Roy replaced a couple of skiff
floats at Clifton, adding a bit more buoyancy and welding new attachments. He also
painted fresh non-skid on our ramps, gave all of the floats and docks multiple coats of
water repellant treatment, and sprayed on bottom paint before launching the new and
improved floats. The overall results were met with great enthusiasm by our membership.
All of our Fleet and sailing school sailboats performed well last summer and we saw a
great resurgence of enthusiasm around our Mercury free sails and Thursday races by
the students in the sailing program as well as many of our new members. We love to
see adults learning how to sail from their children enrolled in the youth program! Our
various outboards were in operation every day of the boating season and we learned how
incredibly vital it is to treat ethanol rich fuel with conditioner at every fill-up. The Philip
M. Caughey, our reliable launch, ferried passengers seven days per week throughout
the summer after meeting Coast Guard inspection standards before the season began.
Shearwater, our faithful servant for Race Committee work, is still looking good, and,
despite one early season battery problem, ran well for us.
The most important assets to the Clifton Dock Corporation are the mooring fields in
Northeast Harbor and Gilpatrick Cove. After consulting with various professionals who
service moorings in Maine, Maryland, and Massachusettes, we decided it would be in
our best interest to use a different mooring rig in order to try to lengthen the time period
between costly repairs. We synchronized our re-rigging plan with the town's mandatory
inspection schedule requiring an approved operator to inspect all moorings once every
three years. Unfortunately, after hiring our own diver, we discovered that many of the
moorings not yet due for inspection had become SO dangerously corroded that we needed
to renew them as well. We were in a pinch in July when additional boats arrived for the
IOD World Championship. However, thanks to some helpful Fleet members, we were able
to provide safe moorings for our visiting IODs as well as our regular mooring renters.
Eventually, after extensive repairs, our diver confirmed that the additional moorings
in the field were in solid condition. In order to help preserve our new equipment, Roy
removed all of the pennants and the new balls in the fall and lowered the galvanized
chain all the way to the bottom where it will sit in the mud for the winter.
My wife, Susan, and I cherish the relationships we have made with SO many families
who have come to appreciate the stark beauty of Acadia and Mount Desert Island as
well as the friendly and inclusive attitude of the Fleet membership. We are looking
forward to renewing friendships and making new ones in the coming season as well.
Respectfully submitted,
Franny Charles, Fleet Manager

CHARLES D. 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.

HENRY T. REATH TROPHY
July 4
With balmy temperatures in the mid-80s and a light southwest breeze at 3-7 knots, a
record size fleet competed for the 4th Annual Henry T. Reath Trophy. Starting at Fleet
Mark "S", the fleet had an early decision to sail to windward or leeward of Sutton Is-
land on their way out around the Cranberry Islands, leaving them to starboard. Boats
ranged from 21'to 52'. Participants ranged in age from seniors to first graders. Reiver
had a fantastic spinnaker set with the most crowded start time of the day--J/100s and
J/105s all headed off at the same time. By breaking out early they enjoyed being able
to make their own decisions after turning Baker Island and beating upwind past both
Cranberries to the Western Way Bell. The smallest boat in the fleet, Biscuit, was finally
overhauled about 150-yards before the last turn. The flood tide was done, but we had
a very light ebb for the tight reach back in toward Gilpatrick Cove.
The winning spinnaker team on Reiver was led by Henry Brauer on the helm accompa-
nied by crew members: Steve Madeira, Ben Brauer, Molly Brauer, and Tom Glockner.

FAR OUT CHALLENGE PURSUIT RACE
August 22
The Far Out Challenge Trophy, the final pursuit race of the season run by the
Fleet, is similar to the Reath Trophy that starts the season for the Cruising
Class. It is open to all boats longer than 22-feet. The starting sequence is pre-
determined 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 format makes it fun
for all participants as there is a lot of passing going on during the race and the
participants can usually see each other for the entire competition.
In 2010, eleven boats assembled for another "Chamber of Commerce" day on
Mount Desert Island. A west breeze greeted the sailing competition, who started
at Fleet Mark A and went out around Little Duck Island and back. Four boats
were solo and they enjoyed the nice long sail without having to tack once. The
big, red boat, "Far Out," started second to last, but began to pick off boats as
they turned Little Duck. Owner and helm Hal Kroeger put the victory in the
bank when he passed the Luders Class boats upon entering the Western Way. The
smaller boats would not let Far Out pass to windward and forced the eventual
winner to pass to leeward. Sidewinder followed closely and then Ranger was
right on their heels. Commodore Bob Johnstone in Tern was next. He took the
cannon as the first non-spinnaker boat in the race.

SINGLEHANDED RACE
August 4
Ten competitors gathered at fleet mark S to race for solo bragging rights for the
2010 season. A short upwind leg around Greening Island to mark T in Southwest
Harbor was followed by a very long, open leg to East Bunker Ledge. The clan
rivalry among Stu Johnstone and his dad, Commodore Bob Johnstone, was
evident right off the starting line. Bob showed the way upwind with a three
length lead at the top turn, but, Stu picked up Reiver's speed along Sutton. Bob
gybed back into the middle while Stu split and went in toward Islesford. Bob led
by 30-seconds at the leeward turn. At the same time Courtenay Jenkins made
a bold move to go to the north of Sutton while the rest of the fleet went south.
His strategy worked well as he closed the gap on John Roberts in Woodie and
Fred Ford in J'Ellie Bean. However, the spin take downs were quite a challenge
for all four IOD sailors at the end of the run. Woody made the escape on a
long beat up to Norwood Cove. Stu pinched out his dad but had to throw in a
couple of tacks to get around Gilpatrick ledge. Reiver and Tern overlapped at
the last turning mark with Reiver in control. A reach back to mark S sealed the
victory for Stu in Reiver. John Roberts took the cannon in the IOD field, flying
his chute proudly across the line.

ROBBINS BOWL
August 25
The 1st Annual Fleet Championship was introduced in 2009 and sailed as the last race
of the summer season on the Wednesday afternoon (August 26) prior to the Annual
Meeting. The Fleet Championship is an opportunity for all Fleet members and their
families, including sailors from all segments of the Fleet (IODs, Mercurys, Luders, the
Cruising Class, staff and top junior sailors in the Northeast Harbor Sailing School
program) to race in a neutral venue--singlehanded in Mercurys.
To say that we had a variety of conditions during the 2nd Annual Fleet Championship
would be an understatement. The format of the event was to hold two elimination rounds
with the top three from each round moving onto a final, winner take all race, with no
scores carrying forward. Twelve sailors arrived to face rain and a strong northeast
breeze of 20-25 knots on Wednesday afternoon. Conditions continued to deteriorate as
the rain turned into a monsoon and the breeze built to 25-35 knots during the first of
two elimination races. One race was completed before the swimming began. Racing
was postponed until the next evening at 1600 hours. A westerly breeze faded just as the
racing was set to begin Thursday, fading to a faint sea breeze off of Great Cranberry
Island. After an elimination race, the final winner take all race was held in a weak,
westerly breeze with a ripping ebb current. Mia Brown won the start by staying up
current of the line and dipping in within the last few seconds to get away cleanly. She
led with a huge margin around both turning marks before the breeze abandoned her.
As most competitors got sucked out with the tide, Bob Johnstone and Ned Johnston kept
their bows (and keels) pointing into the current to minimize surface area. They were
both within 20-yards of the finish line when the slight breeze quit again and a zephyr
of a seabreeze filled from their left, propelling the Commodore across the line first to
seal his victory. The remaining competitors were thankful that the agony of light air
was finally over and they retired; all agreeing to tie for second place.

HAALAND TROPHY
Wednesday Non-Spinnaker Race Series
The Carol Haaland Memorial Trophy was donated in 2009 to honor the life
of a dedicated cruising sailor and to commemorate the 90th Anniversary of
the first racing series conducted by the 1919 "Race Committee," which pre-
dated founding of the Fleet in 1923. 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 been known to have won. IOD's and other boats that don't nor-
mally race with GPS instruments are allowed to race with them in this series.
The Haaland Trophy is awarded this year to Tern as the boat with the lowest
point total, discarding one race.

INTERNATIONAL ONE-DESIGN
2010 Class Captain's Report
The 2010 season for the IOD Class will go down in history as one of the
best on record. With few exceptions, the weather was outstanding and the
racing was excellent. The July 4th series kicked off the season with David
Rockefeller Jr. as winner in Tundra with 13 boats on the line. We followed up
with John Henry winning the July Series. Gary and Steve Madeira took the
second place finish with 15 boats participating. Solomon Krevans joined the
ranks of skippers during the series to finish fifth overall. Given that the aver-
age age of the skipper and his crew was less than twenty-years, they will be
formidable competitors in coming years.
At the end of July, the Northeast Harbor Class and the Northeast Harbor Fleet
jointly hosted the 2010 World Championship for the International One-Design
Class. On the social side, we held six events, providing an opportunity for our
guests to see Mount Desert Island from a number of venues. Sydney Roberts
Rockefeller's family hosted our opening reception Sunday night on Somes
Sound. On Monday night, members of the Northeast Harbor IOD Class held
private dinners in order to mix and match competitors SO that we all would have
the opportunity to meet new people. "Island Night" provided visitors with the
opportunity to see Little Cranberry Island and look back onto Mount Desert
Island at sun set. Wednesday night, Morris Yachts hosted a BBQ with John
Henry providing the entertainment. Thursday night, Martha Stewart hosted
a cocktail party at her home in Seal Harbor. We closed out the week with an
awards dinner at the Bar Harbor Club.
Racing during the Worlds on Monday and Tuesday started with a bang. Right
off, we had two broken booms and a mast--the wind provided a little excitement.
After settling in, twenty skippers competed during the week with challenging
winds and courses. On Friday, after waging battle all week, the seventh race was
set to begin in the Great Harbor on a perfect summer day. The boats lined up
for the start of the race off of Sutton Island with spectator boats lining the race
course. The scene was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever witnessed.
IOD Class - Page 24
The view at the finish line was equally exciting when Elliot Wislar from Long
Island Sound won in a tie breaker with John Burnham from Fishers Island at
the finish off of the Fleet. Elliot grew up sailing at the Northeast Harbor Fleet
on IODs and it was wonderful to see in life that you can go full circle and come
back to such wonderful memories.
The reviews of the Worlds were outstanding and ranged from "Best Worlds Ever"
to "This was the Worlds to Participate In." I want to personally thank my family,
the Northeast Harbor IOD Class, the friends of the class, and the Fleet staff
for making the Worlds such an outstanding event. We had a goal of putting 20
boats on the line and having three skippers from Northeast Harbor participate.
Given the generosity and hard work of all of. you, we made that dream come true.
Although I didn 't think we could top the Worlds, the August Series provided excel-
lent racing with a total of 19 boats participating. David Rockefeller Jr. edged
out John Henry for first place. Sandro Vitelli, racing Aurora with a carbon fiber
spar, finished third in the series. Allowing a boat rigged with a carbon fiber
spar to race in the series is part of our ongoing experiment to test the spar and
determine the potential benefit to the class.
After all of the great weather, Labor Day was the exception with a more than 25
knot northwest wind forcing the cancellation of the Labor Day Series.
Once again we wish to thank the Northeast Harbor Fleet for its continuing
support of the class, and for excellent race management.
Respectfully submitted,
Class Captain David Schoeder

"Long Island Sound Crew Takes IOD Worlds" by Jeff Walls
Mount Desert Islander, August 4, 2010
The points race was too close to call going into the final race of the week. With
the sixth race run, the fleet earned a throwaway race, adding to the volatility
of the standings.
The fleet moved back to the outside for the final race, the course starting by
Great Cranberry Island and running to just north of Greening Island putting the
finish outside the Fleet on Gilpatrick Cove. The points race put Elliott Wislar
(LIS1) and John Burnham (FI2) in a virtual dead heat going into the final race.
If Burnham could manage to get one boat in between him and Wislar, Burnham
could score a comeback victory of the World Championship. If Wislar could
stay on Burnham's transom and protect, he would emerge as 2010 IOD World
Champion. The stage was set for a classic shootout.
The tension was palpable as roughly 25 spectator boats hovered near the starting
line. One competitor grew a bit anxious at the leeward end of the line and had
to restart while most boats, including all of the NEH sailors entered, headed
north to Sutton Island-proven to be the most valid tactic in previous races.
From there, the majority of the fleet headed to the southern shore of MDI to
get some lift off the land. The deeper into shore they went the more lift they
got. John Henry (NEH2) went the deepest and just edged out Bill Dowling
(NEH1) at the offset. Charlie Van Voorhis (FII) headed up the next group to
round which included Martin Rygh (NOR), Penny Simmons (BER1), Urban
IOD Class - Page 28
round which included Martin Rygh (NOR), Penny Simmons (BER1), Urban
Ristorp (09 Champ), Ian McNeice(NAN2), and Bjorn Wahlstrom (SWE). The
points leaders, Wislar and Burnham, rounded the offset in a virtual dead heat
at the middle of the pack.
Henry got into a pocket on the leeward leg, staying on the wind and the ebb
tide to advance several boat lengths over the fleet by the time he rounded the
starboard side of the leeward gate. He found a gap in the fleet behind the next
group of boats, and, on the leeward leg, headed back north to the shore of MDI.
Van Voorhis and Simmons rounded to starboard as well with Dowling and
Rockefeller headed to port hoping to get to the shore of MDI without having
to cut across the fleet.
By the time Henry got to the offset again he stretched his lead out to over a
minute after the second place Rygh, who was being chased by Van Voorhis in
third. Simmons lost a little ground at the head of the fleet and Rockefeller was
in close pursuit. Burnham, second place in the overall points race, had Rock-
efeller in his sights from the sixth place position. Wislar had fallen back to a
thirty second deficit to Burnham at the rounding with four boats between them.
Henry protected for the rest of the race to take first. The duel for second was
on as Van Voorhis and Rygh, who matched tacks on the final leg where Van
Voorhis edged out Rygh by a nose.
With the front of the pack finishing up, the battle for the overall win came into
focus. The next three boats, Simmons, Rockefeller, and Burnham, all came into
the line overlapping in that order. Rockefeller was charging hard at Simmons
but Burnham rapidly gaining ground. Wislar, in seventh, managed to eliminate
the boats between him and the second place overall Burnham. If he was able
to place Rockefeller between himself and Wislar, Burnham had the chance to
win by a single point. Only inches separated Simmons and Rockefeller at the
line with Burnham only half of a boat length behind in overlap as they crossed.
This put Wislar and Burnham in a tie in the overall points. Wislar's two bullets
during the week were the tie breaker.

MERCURY CLASS
2010 Class Captains' Report
Inside and outside our sailing program we see the participation of a small but
focused group of young sailors who are enjoying themselves in the Mercurys.
These young sailors, from eight-years-old and up, choose the Merc because of
the boat's comfort or because they still need to develop the weight and strength
needed for centerboard boats, like our fleet of 420's. They easily get together,
rig up the boats themselves, and go out for sail: practicing sail trim, flying
a spinnaker, navigating and testing the winds and waters around the Great
Harbor. Mercs are fun-providing youngsters with a mix of independence and
responsibility. Some of these sailors hone their skills in competitions close to
home, like the Peggy Kennedy Junior Championship, or go on to participate in
others regattas in New England: the Seal Harbor Regatta, the Maine Midgets,
or the Sears cup. They are taking their skills and applying them to new situa-
tions, exploring new waters, and meeting fellow young sailors at these regattas.
Cultivating new sailors in Mercs is what the Fleet has done for decades, literally.
Skipper Elliott Wislar, a veteran Merc sailor from the 1970's, achieved an
overall first place at the 2010 IOD Worlds hosted by our Fleet last July. At the
IOD World's awards night, Wislar mentioned that, as a 10-year-old hanging
around the Northeast Harbor Fleet, he met up with his fellow crew member,
Steve Madeira, and friend, Tom Brown. All three sailors have gone on to be
world class competitors in the sport. They sail on both the east and west coasts
and worldwide, yet, they still return to the waters off of Mount Desert Island.
As juniors, they learned to sail and compete in Mercs, going on to the youth
regattas including the Maine Midgets and the Sears Cup.
Fast forward to 2010, and Phil Koch is dominating the Fleet's junior regattas in
Mercs. Koch placed first in July's Peggy Kennedy and August's Campbell Henry
Junior Championships; Rafe Schoeberlein crewed with Koch in July, Isaac Lee
Mercury Class - Page 32
in August. Two of our Mercs sailed in the Seal Harbor Regatta: the first place
boat was skippered by Tiller Tillinghast with Jackson Ross and Weaver Lilley
as crew. The second boat took fifth place overall, sailed by Maya Sakharov and
Madeline Keep. Two of our Merc sailors, Lily Lichtenstein and Bea Pierrepont,
traveled to Southport Yacht Club to sail in the Maine Midgets Championship.
All of us with the chance to get out on the water enjoyed the summer of 2010,
highlighted by beautiful, sunny weather and great sailing. The July 4th series
was no exception. Three Mercs came to the starting line off Sargent Head in a
smoking southerly sea breeze of 12-15 knots. Very tight starts and a long beat
to windward helped them work on breezy sailing skills. Working the Mercs in
amongst the IODs also made for some memorable moments. Congratulations
to Philip Koch again, this time teaming with his mother Helen, to score two
bullets and a third. Parker Brown, Katherine Bienkowski, and Bardy Roberts
had straight seconds to finish second overall. Susan Thompson Sakharov won
the first race, but had her hands full as the breeze blew even harder in the last
two races. Susan finished third in both races.
The July series featured eight boats and strong competition. Notable Merc sailors
included the persistent brother, sister competitors: Rafe and Mira Schoeberlein.
All members of the Schoeberlein family were competitive and enthusiastic on
the water in 2010 and finished high in the final July series standings. Philip
Koch won the class in solid fashion-singlehanded. One certainly learns to
dislike the constant look of his stern all summer.
Thursday evening racing was stronger than ever. Many nights, we had every
boat in the harbor out racing. The most memorable Thursday Merc race was
conducted in pea soup fog. The wind was on the water, SO the sailing was good,
but at times you couldn't see a boat less than 20-feet away. But, every boat
was out-to the chagrin of the class captain who arrived late to the dock. Anna
Thompson, at 80-years-old, stole the evening.
We had a strong turnout for the parent-child races in both July and August.
Nathaniel and Rick Wheeler drove Quicksilver like she was an IC to capture
the July title. John and Ryder Henry took a first and second place in two races
to become the overall August champions.
Mercs continue to fill their niche in the strong and dynamic world of sailing
and racing in, around, and beyond our Great Harbor. We are looking forward
to a fabulous 2011.

NORTHEAST HARBOR SAILING SCHOOL
2010 President's Report
Approximately 266 students enrolled in classes at the sailing school this summer,
which is up slightly from last year. Attendance in Beginning 420s, Intermediate
Mercurys, and Advanced Optis increased and attendance in the Rowing class
is on the rise. Fun was the name of the game this summer. Most classes were
fully booked and we enjoyed excellent weather. Many memorable games of
"World Cup Soccer" played in Optis on the water along with "Harry Potter
Day," "Superhero Day," and many others will be remembered for a long time.
Minor changes in scheduling and curriculum resulted in increased participa-
tion throughout the summer.
2010 was a busy year for sailing school students and staff. In addition to orga-
nizing and running the traditional championship events for our students, such
as the July and August Junior Championships and the Towers Seamanship Con-
test, the NEHSS hosted the Eastern Regional Bemis Championship, the Barton
Eddison Race, a 420 Team Racing clinic for all DEJSA clubs, and the DEJSA
420 Team Race Championships this summer. Sailing school students traveled
to participate in the Junior Olympic Regatta in Portland, the NSA Champion-
ships in Southport, ME, the Midget Championships also in Southport, and the
Seal Harbor Regatta.
The sailing school awarded scholarships to 6 students totaling $2,940 in tuition
dollars.
Most of our senior, full-time staff returned from the previous year. One new, full-
time instructor was added. The junior instructor program continues to improve
with each junior instructor assigned to shadow a senior instructor throughout
the morning classes. This summer was Christine Wilson's last summer as an
employee of the sailing school. She has been with the school for a total of five
years, rising from a part-time instructor to the program director for the past
two years. Her contributions to the program are numerous and impressive and
we wish her all the best in her new endeavors.
Respectfully submitted,
Malinda Crain, President

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 row-
ing 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 2010 are Olivia Mundy for July
and Campbell Herrington for August. Both are pictured below with their head
rowing instructor, Alex Clark.

EFFIE DISSTON FRALEY TROPHY
This trophy was presented in memory of Mrs. Bradford Fraley by her family
in 1953. 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 Béa Pierrepont for her outstanding year as
a junior sailor.
Béa Pierrepont began this summer in the morning Intermediate Optimist class.
As she learned about how to sail in a variety of conditions and how telltales
guided a boat, she graduated and moved into the Opti Racing class. Despite
having never raced before, she excelled in the class and was soon represented
the Northeast Harbor Sailing School in many events. Béa sailed for Northeast
Harbor in the Midget Championships in Southport, ME on a cold and rainy day.
She claims to have had more fun than any boat out there. This summer she
sailed in the July and August Opti Junicr Championship as well as the Fleet's
Campbell-Henry Junior Championship. Béa showed great boat speed and made
wise tactical decisions in each event.

FLAG ETIQUETTE
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 57
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.

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. New Feature of Family Membership:
Fleet Administration - Page 59
"There is a $100 surcharge on family membership dues for each child,
other than one's own, residing in the same household who is enrolled in the
NEHSS program for more than one week, or in the case of grandchildren, for
more than two weeks."
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS - Any eligible person who has reached his
or her 30th birthday may be elected an Individual Member of the Fleet. An
Individual Member of the Fleet may become a Family Member without applica-
tion by notifying the Chairman of the Membership Committee and paying the
dues for that class of membership.
INTERMEDIATE MEMBERS - Any eligible person who has not yet
reached their 30th birthday may become an Intermediate Member of the Fleet.
Current Intermediate Members qualify as "member on board" to win Fleet
Trophies and are eligible to represent the Fleet as NEHF Team Members and
may invite guests. They may become Individual Members or Family Members
when they reach their 30th birthday, without application, upon paying the dues,
assessments, and initiation fee for Individual or Family Membership. The ini-
tiation fee shall be reduced by the amount of prior dues paid by the applicant
in this category.
NON RESIDENT MEMBERS - A person who has been a member of
the Fleet for five consecutive years or more may become a Non Resident Mem-
ber by notifying the Chairman of the Membership Committee. Non Resident
membership is available to those who live more than 150 miles from the Fleet
and do not spend more than five days on Mount Desert Island during the period
from July first to Labor Day. Non Resident Members have no voting privileges
and are not entitled to participate in fleet events or use the fleet facilities.
RESIDENT STUDENT MEMBERS - Available to persons who are
residents of Hancock County, who have reached their 6th birthday and
are
enrolled as students in the Northeast Harbor Sailing School. Resident Student
Members are not entitled to voting privileges, and do not qualify as the "Member
on Board" in Northeast Harbor Fleet races, other than those races conducted
by the Northeast Harbor Sailing School. There shall be no initiation fee for
Resident Student Members.
GUESTS - The Northeast Harbor Fleet welcomes the crews and house-
guests of members when they are accompanied by the member and abide by
Fleet regulations. House guests may participate in the Adult and Junior Sailing
Program(s) of the Northeast Harbor Sailing School for a period of up to one
week, provided: 1. they are sponsored by the member; 2. there is space in the
Program; 3. they meet such eligibility requirements as the Fleet may from time
to time have in effect for the programs, and 4. they pay the applicable activity
fees. The facilities and moorings of the Fleet are restricted to use by members
only, except upon invitation of the Fleet to non members participating in Fleet
sponsored events.
INITIATION FEE - The Board of Directors may establish an initiation
fee that shall be paid by new Family and Individual Members of the Fleet and
those former members whose membership has lapsed for one year. A newly
elected former member who resigned from the Fleet in good standing shall pay
the lesser of the capital dues assessed during their leave or one-half of the initia-
tion fee established for the class of membership for which they are elected.
SECTION 2. Annual dues for the seven classes of membership shall
be set by the Board of Directors. Dues, assessments, and charges are payable
within 30 days of invoice. A member whose dues, assessments, or charges
Fleet Administration - Page 60
remain unpaid on July 1 is subject to having his or her name posted at the Fleet
until outstanding invoices have been paid. A boat will only be scored in a Fleet
race or event once the outstanding dues, capital assessments, charges and/or
entry fees (if any) have been paid. A race entered prior to payment shall be
scored a DNS. Members whose dues, assessments or charges are unpaid by
August 31 will have their names dropped from the membership rolls, and may
be reinstated as members at the discretion of the Board of Directorsonce their
outstanding invoice(s) have been paid.
SECTION 3. To fund capital assets, the Board of Directors may also
assess the membership a sum in addition to the annual dues, capital dues, but
only upon notice to the membership of the purpose and need for any such assess-
ment. The assessments shall be limited to the Family and Individual members
and shall be in proportion to the annual dues for those classes of members.
SECTION 4. Any member who shall have paid all dues, capital dues
and charges currently owed may resign upon written notice given to the Trea-
surer. Upon termination of membership for any reason, a member shall forfeit
to the Fleet all the benefits and privileges of membership and all right, title and
interest in and to the Fleet and any of the Fleet's property.
SECTION 5. Membership shall not be transferable unless, in the case
of death of a member, the Board of Directors in its discretion shall permit.
SECTION 6. A member may be expelled by a majority vote of the
Board of Directors or a majority vote of the entire Fleet Membership at any duly
convened meeting of said Board or members of the Fleet, for failure to comply
with the articles of incorporation, by laws, or any duly adopted policies, rules
or regulations of the Fleet, provided that ten days written notice shall have been
given to such member setting forth the intention to propose his or her expul-
sion, the specific reasons thereof, and the right of the member to appear and be

of interest may be approved by the directors or the members before or after
consummation of the transaction as follows:

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

members to determine whether to approve a conflict-of-interest transaction.
A majority of the voting power, whether or not present, that is entitled to be
counted in a vote on the transaction under this Section constitutes a quorum for
the purpose of taking action under this Section.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
January 24, 2011
To the Executive Committee of
The Northeast Harbor Fleet
Northeast Harbor, Maine
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of the Northeast
Harbor Fleet as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of
activities and cash flows for the years 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.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Northeast Harbor Fleet as of September 30, 2010
and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Activities
The purpose of The Northeast Harbor Fleet is to provide racing & cruising activities serving
427 members in Northeast Harbor, Maine.
Income Recognition
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.
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, 2010 and 2009 respectively.
Inventories
Supplies and resale items are carried at cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Tax Status
The Northeast Harbor Fleet is a tax exempt entity Classified by the Internal Revenue
Service as other than a private foundation under Section 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue
Code and, accordingly, is not subject to Federal income tax. However, the Fleet is subject
to Federal income tax on its unrelated trade or business income of $1,000 or more.
Interest income of $685 was taxable for 2010 and $703 for 2009. 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.
The Northeast Harbor Fleet tax returns are subject to Federal and State review by taxing
authorities for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

IN MEMORIAM
Edward McC. Blair
On Dec. 22, 2010, at the age of 95, former
Northeast Harbor Fleet Commodore Ed
Blair died peacefully at his home in Lake
Bluff, Illinois. Ed spent every summer of
his life on Mt. Desert Island; first as a baby
with summer visits with his grandmother,
Louise de Koven Bowen, at her home in
Hulls Cove. Later, he and his wife Betty
stayed at their summer home, L'Escale,
near the mouth of Somes Sound.
Ed loved the outdoors, particularly bird
and sea life indigenous to the Maine Coast.
His daily routine was to leave the North-
east Harbor dock in his power boat, Lucy,
each morning at 9:00 a.m. to whale watch
by Mount Desert Rock, return in time for
lunch, then set sail at 2:00 p.m. in his ma-
roon Hinckley 48, Norumbega, rounding
Baker's Island before returning at 5:00
p.m. for drinks and dinner. Northeast Har-
bor residents and Fleet members would say
they could set their clocks by those depar-
tures. That prompt, 9:00 a.m. departure
was strictly observed in fog, wind, rain, or
shine.
In addition to his longtime affiliation as a Northeast Harbor Fleet Commo-
dore and long-time member, Ed was very active on the College of the At-
lantic's Board of Trustees. Indeed, the college honored him by dedicating
the their whale watching station on Mt. Desert Rock as the Edward McC.
Blair Marine Research Station. He also supported the Mt. Desert Island Bi-
ological Laboratory, where during the 1920s his grandmother, Mrs. Bowen,
was a trustee. He was a strong supporter of organizations that conserved
land and islands along Maine's coast, especially Friends of Acadia and the
Maine Coast Heritage Trust.
The flag officers and Fleet members offer condolences to the family, and
will miss his presence in the area.
