We have one of the most active yacht club sailing programs in New England, con- ducting more than 94 races during a short summer. The Northeast Harbor Sail- ing School had another good year with 258 students, 10% more than in 2008. And the history! There is no other known club in America that has awarded a trophy to its one-design classes for 85 consecutive years, starting in 1925. The George Davenport Hayward Cup was ahead of its time in conducting the event as a pursuit race a format that has recently gained in popularity. But, perhaps the most extraordinary accolade we can bestow upon ourselves has to do with sportsmanship. Last summer no protests were lodged against another boat in any of the Fleet races maybe a first in the annals of American Yachting. 2009 was a challenging year in several respects: The economy, the weather, a complete turnover of management personnel, and an extensive to-do list. All of these hurdles were cleared thanks to the leadership of our new Fleet Manager, Fran Charles, and a dedicated and energetic staff. Great strides were made in bringing the condition of boats, grounds and buildings as well as member ser- vices up to a new standard. But, such progress is not without cost. The upgrades to the Fleet building and Clifton Dock as well as improvements to the condition of docks, moorings and boats required an increase of maintenance expenses and capital upgrades 53% higher than those in 2008. New long-term cost-saving procedures were put in place to help reduce maintenance expenses in the future. It is gratifying that the results became evident. Members frequently commented that the Fleet and its equipment have never looked in better shape. Fleet Organization - Page 3 The NEHF Cruising Class under Henry Brauer continued its leadership role by hosting the 1st Annual Downeast PHRF Championship over the Hospice Race weekend and by co-hosting the 15th Annual Downeast Raceweek(end) in a new revised 3 race, Fri-Sat-Sun, long weekend format to more than double the number of participants in the August Cruise from 11 to 24 boats. Interest continues to build among all Fleet keelboats in more relaxed non-spinnaker racing on Wednesday afternoons. And, now the top scoring boat for the season is awarded the Carol Haaland Memorial Trophy. We thank our Trophy Committee, Connie Madeira and Ellie Andrews, for their help in restoring to use three traditional Fleet trophies for the first time in 19 years. The Thomas Gates Trophy and Edsel Ford Bowl went to IOD winners on the August Cruise and the Reginald Chauncey Robbins Bowl went to the winner of the 1st Annual Fleet Championship, which was conducted in Mercury's sailed singlehanded. 19 of the best sailors from the IOD's, Cruising Class, Luders, Merc's and sailing school participated. Fleet Manager Charles applied his expertise, as the Head Coach of the MIT Sailing Program, in conducting two Rules Seminars and successfully running the races for our 2nd U.S. Sailing Junior Olympics with 131 youths participating in 88 boats. In the International One Design Class's North American Champion- ship, Fleet members Bill Dowling and Wells Bacon took the silver and bronze. As the largest IOD fleet worldwide, we look forward to hosting their World Championship in 2010. My special thanks go to past Commodores Rockefeller, Brauer, Madeira and Andrews for their continued support and sage advice; to Vice Commodore and Suzanne Haaland for hosting the opening staff picnic and donating the Haaland Trophy; to Rear Commodore Crain for her continuing role with the Sailing School; and to other 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. The school continues to depend on your generous tax-deductible donations. 2009 was understandably a slow year, with these gifts declining from $50,000 in 2008 to $30,000 this past year. So they can really use your help in 2010. Thanks in advance for your generosity in taking a moment to invest in our Fleet's future. It is much appreciated. Robert L. Johnstone, III Fleet Organization - Page 4 2009 FLEET MANAGER'S REPORT The sailing season of 2009 has been a wonderful year of successes. The daily work which gets accomplished speaks volumes about the devoted ethic of our multi-talented staff. It is often stated that the people make an organization suc- cessful. Without doubt, our staff this season has made the environment around the Fleet enjoyable and comfortable every day of the week. The management committee led by Commodore Bob Johnstone has provided us with excellent direction and assistance as many of us are experiencing our first season with the organization. Our new operations manager, Lauren Simmons, has diligently handled any and every task thrown in her direction. Whether it was a mooring rental, assisting with registration of children in the sailing school, or entertaining a youngster while awaiting a parental pickup, Lauren is always helpful, friendly and a very generous representative of the Fleet. Dave Grasso and PJ Johnson expertly handled all boat repair, launch service, mooring issues and daily wharf maintenance. As many of you have witnessed, the many assets of the Fleet are in much better condition now than when we started up here in mid June. The youth in the sailing and rowing programs have taken note and now wash down their sails, blades and hulls before tying them down at the end of the lessons. Proper boat maintenance is an infectious attitude which must be introduced right from the start along our waterfront. Taking good care of boats and employing Fleet Organization - Page 5 preventive maintenance procedures means that we never once had gear failure during the sailing lessons and all of our motorboats worked flawlessly throughout the entire boating season. This includes Shearwater and the PMC. Roy Hadlock serviced, scraped, repaired and anchored all our docks here in Gilpatrick Cove as well as at Clifton Dock. He maintains the mooring pennants and is going to be quite busy in the coming weeks with hauling and getting a jump on preparation in the Fall instead of waiting for Spring. Our Sailing School staff was ably and professionally led by Christine Wilson. The success of the program can not only be measured with great returning enrollment but could be seen daily with the many smiles on children's faces as they departed after their lessons. Comfort in boats and around the waterfront is obvious every day in Gilpatrick Cove. The Junior Olympic Regatta was a resounding success with just under 200 participants enjoying two full days of tight sailboat racing in the Great Harbor. Deborah Brown has endured computer and hard drive crashes and continues to keep everything straightened out between the Fleet, Sailing School and Clifton Dock Corporation. We are fortunate to have Deb consistently tracking and preparing our financial data. Her extensive work on the Annual Report has given us a document, which not only records the activities and history of the Fleet activities but also serves as a tremendous resource for finding current information quickly. Sailboat Racing continues to be the focus of the Fleet's activities with an im- pressive 94 races conducted over the past two months. The Fleet is the eastern Maine mecca of junior sailing, one design and cruising class racing. Next year promises more excitement as we look forward to hosting the World Champion- ship for the IOD Class during the last week of July as well as our fully packed schedule of weekly Fleet sailing activities. My wife, Sue, and I have enjoyed the welcoming and friendly attitude of the membership, management committee and fellow staff here in Mt Desert. It is a privilege to work with SO many gracious and receptive folks who have patiently nurtured us in our inaugural year of service at the Fleet. Thank you.

Desert Island as did Kevin Mahaney in winning the Soling Olympic Silver Medal in the 1992 Barcelona Games and in being helmsman of the 1995 America's Cup contender Young America. The recipient for 2009 is Steve Madeira who has spread his love of sailing and the formula for local one-design success, learned here at the Fleet, to wherever he's sailed on both East and West coasts. With creative social events and by encouraging his class's participation in Celebrity Pro-Am, Leukemia and Hospice Cups, Steve developed the J/120 into the largest active one-design fleet of boats over 35 feet in the Bay area with 29 races on its "Championship" schedule and an equal number in the off-season. With Mr. Magoo, he has won his class's season championship, the St. Francis Yacht Club's offshore championship and J/120 North Americans. He was named the StFYC's 2008 Sailor of the Year as the first club member to win all 6 club sponsored regattas in one year on the same boat. Steve has also helped promote the local San Francisco Bay Area IOD Fleet. He was twice on the winning boat for Bermuda International Race Week, was tactician on 5 consecutive IOD season Championships, co-winner of an IOD North American Championship and runner-up in the IOD Worlds. It's a joy to see him return to the Fleet each summer aboard Auriga and Reiver. All of us are proud of how he has flown the Fleet burgee and are pleased to honor "Stevie" with the 2009 Mahaney Award.

DICKEY MEMORIAL AWARD This award honors a Member, who over a period of years, through excellence in the sport of sailing and/or their dedication and service has made significant contribu- tions to the Fleet. HISTORY Charles Dennison Dickey's contributions predate the Fleet itself and span two World Wars. On Labor Day, 1913, at age 17 sailing Bird in a race hosted by the Seal Harbor Yacht Club, he won the first recorded one-design race in the area. This was held in Lawley-built "Manchester" 17 Knockabouts, which were known as "B" boats after their designer B.B. Crowninshield. These were gaff- rigged sloops, 17 1/2 feet on the waterline and 26 feet overall. See the History of The Northeast Harbor Fleet by Joseph. L. Grant. In 1919, four years before the Fleet was founded, he and three others (Messrs George Davenport Hayward, Edward W. Madeira and Francis C. Grant) formed a "Race Committee" to govern a series of races for knockaboats (A's & B's to-gether) with "plain sails" to keep them low key. While all the Knockabouts had them, spinnakers were not allowed for that series. In 1923, he was a member of the Fleet's founding Executive Committee under Commodore George Davenport Hayward. He served as Rear Commodore in 1927, then Vice-Commodore in 1928 and 1944. RECIPIENTS Philip M. Caughey 1977 Constance M. Madeira 1978 Harry R. Madeira, Sr 1980 Harry R.

You never know what the wind will do in this race. As the slowest rated boat, First Step was the first to start this pursuit race and held its lead around the 6 mile double-triangle to finish ahead of the Fleet Manager's family sailing a Mercury and David Folger in his Luders 16 Voodoo. Winners in the last two years, the IOD's got off to a slow start in a wind hole, SO were unable to catch up with the bulk of the 17 boat fleet P1 Boat Type Skipper/Crew 1 First Step Bullseye Bob Johnstone & Neill Houghton 2 Fleet Mercury Mercury Tucker & Sue Charles 3 Voodoo Luders 16 Liana &David Folger 4 North Luders 16 Dave Schoeder & Scott Redmon 5 Gumbo Bullseye John T.

REATH TROPHY July 5 Starting the summer out right, 18 boats from 21 to 52 feet turned out for the 3rd Annual Reath Trophy Pursuit Race, with the slowest rated boats starting first. The course was the traditional around Cranberry Isles course with the Race Committee calling for a starboard rounding. Kaighn Smith in Gaylark and Henry Brauer in Reiver chose the northerly route and made out well on the competition making up ground on all boats as they rounded the first mark, the gong at East Bunkers Ledge. The fleet made its way past the cans along the east side of Little Cranberry and Bakers with the more daring crews holding their spinnakers until the G1 can on the south side of Bakers where the fleet began the long beat back home. It was a long beat along the south shore of Bakers and the Cranberry's. Commodore Johnstone in Tern and several of the IOD's and Luders chose to tack in close to shore in hopes of picking up more wind and a lift. Gaylark and Reiver stood out more to sea. At the Western Way bell Reiver had a slight lead over Tern and the race was on into the finish. Again Commodore Johnstone chose to sail closer to the Manset and Greenings shores looking for stronger puffs and some better angles. The team on Reiver sailed more up the middle looking for a northerly shift which finally came allowing Reiver to cross Tern, and win the race. Team Reiver took home the trophy for first overall and first family boat and first in the spinnaker class. Commodore Johnstone was 2nd to finish, 1st in the Master class, and 2nd in spin- naker class. Gaylark was 3rd to finish overall and in spinnaker class. The first in the non-spinnaker class went to Mike Cook on Flirt. First in the Female division was Mia Brown on Flying Lady and first Master in the non-spinnaker division was Mark Kryder on Laney Lu.

It is an opportunity for Fleet members and their families (only) from all seg- ments of the Fleet: IOD's, Mercury's, Luders, the Cruising Class, staff and top juniors in the NEHSS to compete against one another in a fairly neutral venue: Singlehanded in Mercury's Because we discovered that solo sailing with jibs and mains was quite a challenge in a breeze, the plan for 2010 is mainsails only. With 19 entries there were 3 sudden-death elimination races to qualify 7 finalists for a one race final. a real test of seamanship and racing talent. The 1st Annual Fleet Champion is Ned Johnston, a profes- sional photographer, who restored a Luders 16 named Domino, which he keeps at the Fleet and races with his 8-year old son and 12-year old daughter as crew. Ned's first sailing experi- ence was at age 10, reluctantly crewing for his dad in the 110 class out of Wilmette Harbor on Lake Michigan. not an easy boat to crew with genoas. He came into his own at age 12 sailing a Naples Sabot during a family vacation in San Diego. The next summer he began racing Sunfish on Lake Michigan, against the Commodore's sons Stuart and Drake Johnstone, winning several local fleet championships, the Midwest Districts and placing 5th in the NA's. Ned was on the Harvard sailing team and worked as a sailmaker in Chicago, Newport and San Francisco during summers and while on a two year sabbatical from college. He's crewed on big boats in the SORC, Transpac, Clipper Cup, Admiral's Cup, 1/4 ton and 1/2 ton North Americans. In 1990 he moved to MDI, where he started racing with David Rockefeller's Team Tundra in the IOD class. Cream rises to the top. This Fleet Championship has highlighted a great sailing talent amongst us. RESULTS P1 Other Participants 1. Ned Johnston Mike Cook David Schoeder 2. Wells Bacon Bill Dowling Joe Weber 3.

HAALAND TROPHY Wednesday Non-Spinnaker Race Series The Carol E. 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 predated founding of the The Northeast Harbor Fleet in 1923. That series was conducted under "plain sails" in other words "no spinnakers", even though the knock- abouts 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 sea 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 normally race with GPS instruments are allowed to race with them in this series. The Carol E. Haaland Trophy is awarded this year to Tern as the boat with the lowest point total, disregarding one race.

Fleet Awards - Page 20 FAR OUT CHALLENGE PURSUIT RACE August 17 The Far Out Challenge Trophy is the final pursuit race of the season, open to all boats of 20' LOA and longer. The starting sequence is pre-determined by a boat's rating with the slowest boats start first. The first to cross the finish line wins the race. This format makes it fun for all participants as there is much passing going on during the race and the participants can usually see each other for the entire competition. The 2009 edition was held in some rather challenging conditions caused by the early season hurricane that swept up the Eastern Seaboard and hit Mt Desert head on the day before. This left the fleet with huge breaking waves in the Western Way and light conditions that favored the taller, larger boats. Time ran out on the J/100s attempting to round the Somes Sound buoy in no wind against a strong ebb tide. For the second year in a row, Hal Kroeger's Morris 52, Far Out, ably skippered by former Commodore Mike Chace won the race. Second place was claimed by Rear Commodore Haaland's J/42, Eventyr and third place went to Tom Rolfe's J/105, Sidewinder.

It did require some quick schedule work and cooperation with our sister sailing club, The MDI Sailing Center, which was hosting a new event in memory of Tom Morris. The Fleet worked with MDI Sailing Center and co-hosted the new Morris Trophy and used this race as the make-up for MDI Series Race #3 that was postponed due to bad weather the week before. We enjoyed a consistent level of participation this year with 9 or 10 boats starting each race. Three of the four races were sailed in good conditions with consistent wind. Race 3 which was also the Morris Trophy challenged the fleet with some fog as well as light and variable winds. This series was dominated by the smaller boats with Henry Brauer's J/100 Reiver winning 3 races, to take the series overall. Commodore Johnstone's J/100 Tern was 2nd overall, finishing either 2nd or 3rd in every race. Kaighn Smith's Swan 38, Gaylark, a perennial favorite, had a consistent series and finished 3rd. Rounding out the top five were Mike Cook's J/100, Flirt, in 4th and Hal Kroeger's Morris 52, Far Out, in 5th RESULTS Boat Type Skipper 7/12 7/19 8/2 8/16 Tot Reiver J/100 Brauer 1 1 1* 1 4 Tern J/100 Johnstone 2 2 3 3 10 Gaylark Swan 38 Smith 4 4 2 3* 13 Flirt J/100 Cook 3 6 4 2 15 Far Out Morris 52 Kroeger 6 3 5 5* 19 Eventyr J/42 Haaland 5 7 6 4 22 Sidewinder J/105 Rolfes 7 5 6* 5 23 Astrid CH 31 Heimbold 14* 8 14* 6 42 Va Pensiero CH 49 Weber 8 12 9* 10* 48 j'Ellie Bean IOD Ford 14* 14* 14* 7 49T M36 M36 Colket 14* 14* 7 14* 49T Revolution Farr 43 MMA 14* 9 14* 14* 51 Wind Sprite Pedersen 14* 10 14* 14* 52 Morning Star J/44 Bienkowski 14* 11 14* 14* 53 Laney Lu M36 Kryder 8* 13 9* 7* 55 *DNC Cruising Class - Page - 22 HOSPICE REGATTA Downeast PHRF Championship July 18-19 This year the Fleet decided to combine the 13th Annual Hospice Regatta with the 2nd MDI Series Race and create a two day Downeast PHRF Championship. We hope that this two day event will attract more participants to the Hospice Regatta and also provide a July mini-series for the Cruising Class. The Hospice Regatta was not blessed with the best day of sailing which may have contributed to fewer participants this year. The day began with the rem- nants of a strong easterly with rain and fog. The 9 hearty teams that came to the starting line were met with an easterly wind about 12-15 knots, mist and fog. The committee set a course with a long beat to the gong at East Bunkers, around Great Duck and finish at A mark. Unfortunately as the day progressed and the fleet rounded, in close order, the G1 can off the southeast point of Bakers the wind shut down and the fog came in. This was the last time the competitors would see each other. Commodore Johnstone on Tern and the team from Maine Maritime on Revolu- tion chose to gibe and sail what appeared to be a longer course along the shore. The rest of the fleet tried in vain to sail more of a rhumb line course out to Great Duck. Tern and Revolution were rewarded for their strategy as they were in a great position to enjoy the light Southerly that eventually filled in. The Race Committee chose to shorten the course at Great Duck as the wind had died to almost nothing. The team on Tern was first to finish and won the race with the MMA team not too far behind. Hal Kroeger on Far Out finished 3rd and Reiver finished 4th. The rest of the fleet chose to head home and not battle the light and fickle wind. MDI - The second MDI series race also served as the second race of the Downeast PHRF Championship and provided the fleet with a totally different experience than the Hospice race. The fleet enjoyed a beautiful sunny day with a West/Southwest breeze 12-15 with puffs to 25. The committee set an inside course using a combination of marks and islands for the fleet to navigate. With the start at A mark the fleet proceeded on a puffy beat into Southwest Harbor to round the bell off the Greenings ledge. The boats had to decide when to set spinnakers and how close to navigate the passage between the SW shore and Greenings. From Greenings the fleet had a long run down to the red bell off of the eastern entrance to Seal Harbor. There was some great excitement as the MMA team aboard Revolution was leading but swung a little wide during their rounding and found themselves on the rock. They were able to get off quickly Cruising Class - Page - 23 and continue on their way. The rest of the fleet chose to take down earlier and round close aboard SO as to not suffer a similar fate. There was another long beat in a puffy westerly up to the bell off Spurling Point on the Northwest corner of Great Cranberry, followed by a short run down to the Bear Island Bell. Up until this point in the race Tern and Reiver were enjoying a close race with the larger boats ahead but not keeping their time. The race was won on the short run to Bear. There were puffs up to 25 and the team on Reiver chose to set their spinnaker and enjoyed a wild ride opening up a nice lead on Tern. The finish was at Fleet Mark S. Once the time corrections were applied, Reiver won the day with Tern second and Kaighn Smith's Gaylark third. The final standings for the Downeast PHRF Championship were Tern first with a 2-1, Reiver 2nd with a 4-1, and Far Out 3rd with a 3-3.

As well as the Morris Trophy for Division II, the Paul Nevin Memorial Trophy for the best cumulative corrected time in fleet on Saturday and Sunday and the Arundel Plate for Division II in the August Cruise. In 2nd Place Overall for the Harry Wilmerding Tray was Marcus Heilner's Center Harbor 50 Hoi-An from the Kollegewidgwok YC. 3rd was Jeffrey Becton in Ariana, his classic Ohlson 41 yawl, which won the Michael Crofoot Trophy for Division III and both the Constance Madeira Trophy and Arthur F. Chace, Jr. Trophy. The Kollegewidgwok Yacht Club team of cruising class boats Hoi-An, Otter, and Ariana won the Yacht Club Challenge Trophy. KYC's Atlantic Class won the first ever shoot out against the Northeast Harbor Fleet's International One-Designs, both classes sailing level off the same starting line. Top boat was KYC's Andrew Baldwin sailing Red Fish. Top International for the Thomas S. Gates Trophy on Saturday was Dave Folger in Tundra with Sidney Rockefeller in Satin Doll winning the August Cruise Series and Edsel B. Ford Bowl. RACE I of 17.2 miles on Friday, started at Ship & Barges Ledge in Blue Hill Bay then downwind in light air and a strong ebb tide to Bass Harbor. By head- ing across to MDI, David Rockefeller and Rick Burnes led the fleet. Just after most boats rounded the Bass Harbor C1, a stong line squall hit with 40 knots of Cruising Class - Page - 25 wind, ripping jibs, forcing boats to sail under mainsail alone and causing general havoc. The boats struggled upwind to Pond Island Passage then to the finish in Pretty Marsh, where they rafted up for a beautiful evening of camaraderie. Hal Kroeger's Morris 52 Far Out was the overall winner of this race and by taking a 5th in the final race, won the Lewis K. Cherot Memorial Trophy for the best 2 race score in Division 1. RACE 2 of 19.5 miles started in Pretty Marsh in a good northwesterly which gradually shifted into the west. The race was through the Casco Passage down Jericho Bay and then a beat back into Southeast Harbor. The smaller boats had their day with Ariana, Otter, and Tern finishing in the money. Going into the last day, 3 boats were tied with 8 points (Hoi-An, Far Out, and Tern) with Ariana sitting with 9 Points and a win. So, among these 4 boats, the winner of Race 3 on Sunday would take all the marbles. Tense! RACE 3 of 20.2 miles started as a light, spotty close fetch out of Southeast Harbor, a run, with wind filling in behind, past Green Island through Pond Island Passage, a "breezing up" reach to round little Folly Island at the entrance of Bartlett Narrows, then a long upwind leg to the finish at Ship & Barges. Tern got off the starting line with the big boats then fell into a hole, allowing Ot- ter and Breakaway to leap into a 1 mile lead just behind Hoi An, Cybelle and Barra. Eventually Tern closed the gap from behind with a building southerly, then played the western shore to slip in just behind Hoi-an to share the lead in fleet. Tern managed to stay close enough to Hoi-An on the long beat to the fin- ish ending up 3rd boat for boat, behind Hoi-an and Cybelle, to save their time, win the day and the overall trophy. Tern's 3 person crew on the last two days were Bob Johnstone, son Drake Johnstone of Charlottesville VA and Andrew Kennedy of Washington DC. Son Stuart and Julia Langford from Newport RI were part of the crew on the first day while the Commodore drove the MJM 29z photo boat.

This format was a great suc- cess in 2009 as it was easier to sign up crew who work during the week and for one-design participation. All monohull, cruiser/racer sailboats of at least 22 feet LOA with PHRF-NE 2010 ratings are eligible as are Atlantics, 6 Meters, and Internationals. For the cruising class, racing starts on Friday in Blue Hill Bay with a fleet raft up in Pretty Marsh. Atlantics and Internationals join in on Saturday for a race into Jericho Bay with raft up in Southeast Harbor, Deer Isle. The last race ends in Blue Hill Bay on Sunday. Large crusing boats, both power and sail, are also invited to pariticpate Two traditional IOD trophies and two new team trophies are on the line. Thomas S. Gates Trophy for the International with the highest place in Saturday's race and the Edsel B. Ford Bowl for the International with the best combined score, counting all participating Atlantics and IODs, for Sat/Sun races. Downeast Yacht Club Challenge Trophy This is similar to the Bermuda Race Onion Patch Trophy. A yacht club may enter one or more 3-4 boat teams (CCA, NYYC, NEHF, DHYC, KYC, etc.). The top 3 boats of the team are scored in each race. KYC was the Team with the best point-score over 3 races in 2009 to become the winner. International One-Design VS. Atlantic Class Shoot Out - These two classes had never raced against one another, head-to-head on Saturday and Sunday in 2009. The plan is to continue the two day format in 2010 with boats being towed to Pretty Marsh early on Saturday for the start. Rated by PHRFNE equally at 150 secs/m, they sail level. Consensus was that the Atlantics seem to have an edge in light air, and the IODs in a breeze with the Atlantics winning in 2009, but not by much. Cruising Class - Page - 28 25 INTERNATIONAL ONE-DESIGN 2009 Class Report There was a great deal of uncertainty as we entered the 2009 racing season, mostly due to concerns about the strength of our class in an uncertain economic climate. I'm happy to report that those fears turned out to be - to a great extent - unfounded. Fewer boats than usual made it to the starting line, it's true, as three of the usual contestants were never even launched, but the fierceness of the racing easily made up for the reduced numbers! The Fourth of July Series presented us with a challenging mix of steady breezes and fluky shifts, a happy wake-up call for our collective dormant sailing skills. Just to add to the challenge Fran Charles, the new Northeast Harbor Fleet Manager, threw in a hitherto unfamiliar component: windward gates. Other than a tidal shutout at Mark P at the end of Race 2, which saw several boats engage in keenly contested backwards sailing, the series was a worthy season opener. John Henry on Gambler reminded us why he is our fleet champion and won the series. The July Series saw 12 boats racing, with 9 boats qualifying. Bill Dowling's Mischief and John Henry's Gambler were the leaders of the pack, with Mischief finally edging out Gambler for series honors. Continuing pressure from behind was provided by the usual suspects, David Rockefeller, Jock Crothers, Scott Redmon, and various members of the Madeira clan. The IOD fleet was settling into the summer, windward gates and all. IOD Class - Page - 29 2 5 As it turned out, the Mischief/Gambler duel in July was a prelude to the Au- gust Series. It wasn't match racing, but the battle between the two assumed epic proportions, both posting an impressive and consistent string of top place finishes. They finished the Series tied at 16 points each after 8 races, and Bill Dowling's Mischief won the Taormina Cup by virtue of more first place finishes. David Rockefeller, Jason Ingle, and Scott Redmon continued to provide pressure from behind. 15 boats raced, with 13 qualifying, a gratifying turnout under the circumstances. Bill Dowling, it should be pointed out, is the third IOD sailor in the history of the Northeast Harbor Fleet to win both July and August Series in the same summer, an honor achieved by Wayne Wibby in the 1970s and by the late Jimmy Ducey in the 1950s. The Labor Day Series provided a fitting finale to the Season, with splendid sailing conditions. Your reporter won the series in a tie with Liana Folger sail- ing IOD number XC, the experimental boat sporting a carbon fiber rig (about which more later). 9 boats sailed. Participation in the various Cruising Class events was also reduced last summer, although the no-spinnaker Wednesday afternoon races proved popular, with three boats occasionally sailing. The no-spinnaker format is ideal for a casual afternoon sail, as we can single or double-hand our boats easily. Downeast Race Week addressed the question raised by years of team racing in the Red Gauntlet Challenge: which is faster, International One-Designs or Atlantics? Three Atlantics squared off against four IODs; The Atlantics took the first two places, a mere fluke, we're sure, and anyway they were sailing in home waters. IOD Class - Page - 30 13 21 E 2 Many of you very likely noticed Michael Phillips's Gosling sitting on her moor- ing at the Fleet sporting an unusual rig last summer. Michael very kindly loaned her to the Class to act as test boat for our prototype carbon fiber mast and boom. Several of us sailed her during the summer, and many of the visiting competitors during the North American Invitational tried her out as well. The response to the rig has been overwhelmingly positive; its light weight (approximately half of the weight of a wooden rig) reduces pitching and heeling moments, and its stiffness will be beneficial to the older wooden boats. It will also offer notice- ably lower maintenance costs. The class is due to vote on whether to adopt the new rig at the 2010 Annual Meeting. We'll be hosting the IOD World Championships this coming summer, once again scheduling the event for the last week in July. It promises to be an excit- ing regatta! Alessandro Vitelli, for Class Captain David Schoeder IOD Class - Page - 31 America 1522 Bill Dowling, Liana Folger, Stephen Brookes, Phyllis Ashenbrenner & Geoff Brooks IOD NORTH AMERICANS July 28-Aug 1 Uncertain weather in the first two days did not deter the Race Committee from completing the five-race series to end with a glorious sunny day of sailing on Saturday. Boats were provided by the local fleet and sailed in rotation to ensure fairness. Class Captain David Schoeder was commended by every- one for running a superb event. The top 3 boats had an MDI connection. John Pulvermann, the winner from the newest IOD fleet in Chester, Nova Sco- tia, grew up sailing a Luders 16 in Seal Harbor. "This for me is a homecoming of sorts, after a 30-year absence from these waters" he said when receiving his prize. Northeast Harbor crews, skippered by Bill Dowling and Wells Bacon took second and third places. Fraser Watson, Joe Crothers, Nathaniel Paine, Margaret Bacon and Wells At a cocktail reception and dinner at Bacon Jr. the elegant Bar Harbor Club, David IOD Class - Page - 32 Vernon Gray, Tom Fremont-Smith, Jason Ingle, Verner Daniel and Stefan Cushman Rockefeller, Jr. honored IOD sailors Richard W. Homer and Harry R. Madeira for having contributed significantly to the class over the years.

Reserve one, walk down the dock, step off the launch onto a Merc and you can be having the sail of your summer! The Mercs go out with novice youth sailors in the morning. Our staff now dutifully maintains them. Mercs are ready for members to sail or race in the afternoon. Parent Child Races and the Thursday evening series are very popular. Mercs are also sailed in the Peggy Kennedy youth keel boat championship, the Single-handed race, the Hayward Cup and at the Seal Harbor Regatta. The Parent-Child races are sailed twice a summer, once in July and once in August. The parent-child teams sail two to three races on each occasion. The child skippers the last race which serves as the tie-breaker. The winners of the July Parent-Child event went to Parker and Bob Brown. The August winners were Ryder (above receiving his trophy) and John Henry. The Merc satisfies a much needed niche among sailing options that the Fleet has to offer its members and guests. If you pick the right breeze and tide and a Merc, you can enjoy the sights up the Sound, or over towards Bear Island, or Mercury Class - Page 37 Quielt Silver a sail around Greenings towards Manset, or a racecourse. You may enjoy the sail of your summer with friends, family or single-handedly! Mercs are fun, drier, steady and safe! Fran, Christine and the whole staff did much to make the Mercs fun last summer. The Merc class' re-emergence at Gilpatrick's Cove has much to owe to the well timed, fund raising efforts of the Merc Class Captain, Toby Elliman. Looking forward to seeing you all sailing a Mercury in 2010. Submitted by, Susan Thompson Sakharov Merc Captain Summer'09. Mercury Class - Page 38 107 108 NORTHEAST HARBOR SAILING SCHOOL 2009 Report During the summer of 2009, approximately 236 students attended classes at the Northeast Harbor Sailing School. Class attendance was at or near capacity every week. This year, we added a weekly Seamanship Clinic allowing teens to develop their skills in power boating, navigation, and knots as well as enjoy the very popular overnight campouts. We also welcomed Christine Wilson as our Sailing School Program Director as well as several new instructors. In addition, the role of instructor apprentice was expanded to allow our older students to share their experience with younger sailors while learning from our senior instructors. I am particularly proud of our community outreach efforts which include our partnership with The Neighborhood House to provide a learn to sail program for their day campers. The Northeast Harbor Sailing School awarded more than $5,800 in scholarships to young, year-round residents of MDI. We continue to participate in the Downeast Junior Sailing Association, an organization of 10 junior sailing programs in Downeast Maine. DEJSA activities include interclub team racing, a 420 championship and a girls' only regatta during the summer. In addition, the Sailing School invites all DEJSA clubs to attend the annual Barton Eddison Race in IODs and this year, in Luders also. The Northeast Harbor Sailing School has firmly established itself as a leader in junior sailing instruction in Maine. Junior Sailing - Page 39 In July, we once again were hosts of the U.S. Sailing Northeast Junior Olympic Regatta at the Town Marina in Northeast Harbor. A total of 135 sailors, aged 8 - 18, from the around the country competed in Optis and 420s for two days. Many of our Sailing School students enjoyed racing against their peers from other clubs and the numerous volunteers helping with this event were fantastic. Thanks again to all who volunteered to help. We look forward to hosting this regatta again in 2012. In September, we welcomed three new board members. Elizabeth Carey, Howard Lapsley and Jim Green will join the Sailing School board. I look for- ward to working with them as well as Dan Kimball, Sally Bienkowski, Gordon Haaland and Nicole Pellitier to make the Northeast Harbor Sailing School the very best it can be. Malinda R.

Andrew Kimball, Lilly Lichtenstein and Samantha Kent Tiller Tillinghast and Katherine Bienkowski Junior Sailing - Page 49 CAPTAINS' ROWING AWARDS This award was presented to the Fleet in 1979 by Mr. C.A. Porter Hopkins. It is awarded to a member of the Rowing Class, one in July, and one in August, who has shown outstanding ability in rowing and is an enthusiastic and disciplined member of the rowing class. The name "Captains' 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. One winner in July and one winner in August, has their name engraved on a brass plate, which is put on the plaque. The winners also receive a small Fleet Burgee to keep. These burgees are given by Mr. Hopkins each year.

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: Yachts - Page - 60 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 com- mand of a Northeast Harbor Fleet member. The Club burgee shall be dis- played 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 underway 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).

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.

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. Fleet Administration - Page 63 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 remain unpaid on July 1 is subject to having his or her name posted at the Fleet until outstanding invoices have been paid.

Wilbur, EA INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT November 12, 2009 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, 2009 and 2008, 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, 2009 and 2008, 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.

HORTON, McFARLAND & VEYSEY, LLC CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ELLSWORTH, MAINE 04605 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Activities The purpose of The Northeast Harbor Fleet is to provide racing & cruising activities serving 400 members in Northeast Harbor, Maine. Income Recognition The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis. 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. Accounts at the institution are insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. As of September 30, 2009 the bank balance was $86,561. Inventories Supplies and resale items are carried at cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method. Financial Statement Presentation The Fleet adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 117, Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations by restating net assets as of September 30, 1997. Statement No. 117 establishes standards for general purpose external financial statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations and requires a statement of financial position, a statement of activities, and a statement of cash flows. Plant Assets and Depreciation Plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated at rates calculated to amortize the original cost over the useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. It is the Fleet's policy to capitalize assets with a cost of $1,000 or more.

In the 1950's he started in the Fleet's rowing class and graduated to Bullseyes, Luders and Inter- nationals. In recent years John enjoyed the water with his family. He loved taking friends and family to the islands picnicking on his motor boat, Wantoot. His son, John IV, with his sisters enjoyed the Fleet rowing and sailing programs in the late eighties and early nineties. Richard H. Wright, III Dickie was a native of Durham, North Carolina, first coming to Northeast Harbor in the 1960's to visit his sister Merriweather Hudson, then joining the Fleet SO his sons Andy and Richard could participate in sailing activities.

His nephew, Toby Elliman is a member of the Fleet's Management Committee. * Members reported deceased since the last publication. Apologies for anyone we may have missed.
