Madeira, Jr. COMMODORE'S REPORT SUMMER SEASON 2006 I am pleased to report that at the conclusion of the 2006 season - my final year as a Flag Officer - the Northeast Harbor Fleet and its two sister organizations, the Clifton Dock Corporation and the Northeast Harbor Sailing School all reported excellent years. Our organizations boasted higher levels of mem- bership, greater participation in sponsored events, and a stronger financial picture. Indeed the problems which have arisen in the last few years have, by and large, resulted from these happy facts of greater usage of Fleet assets and increased participation. These issues have caused the Executive Com- mittee to institute some modest changes in our method of operations, and to think harder about planning for the needs of future members; but these are "good" problems. I credit our success to our hard-working and dedicated staff, the excellent direction provided by the Executive Committee, and to the enthusiasm of our membership. Thanks to you all. It has been my privilege to serve as Commodore the last two years, and I hope the consideration and commitment shown to me will be extended to the next roster of Flag Officers. Staffing: The team of Greg and Sarah Wilkinson continued their fine work in 2006; Greg as our General Manager (summer number seven), and Sarah as the office Administrator (her third summer). Any Fleet or Sailing School event on land or on the water begins with a call to one of them, and their Fleet Management - Page 3 execution of the required task is usually exemplary. "Team Wilkinson" has become integral to our successes, and they are becoming our institutional memory as well. Greg was particularly successful again this year attracting some truly first-rate sailing instructors, a fact which created a wonderful "buzz" on the grounds throughout the summer months. The instructor corps was both capable, and experienced, and their ability to generate interest among young sailors was evident by the increased attendance in the program, and greater turnout at sponsored events. Thanks go to Deborah Brown again as well, for her hard work managing our books, manning the office during the winter, and for her work on the Yearbook. Clifton Dock Corporation (CDC): CDC is now being operated on a day to day basis by Greg Wilkinson, under the direction of the Clifton Dock Cor- poration Board, led by Sandy Andrews. The popularity of this venue as a mooring locale and water-access point over the years led to the need for some changes this year, most noticeably in parking protocols. The changes were in recognition of the fact that the Fleet owns SO little land there that can be used for parking. The changes were designed to accommodate NEH Fleet members, CDC mooring renters and their guests, while at the same time be sensitive to the residents of Clifton Dock Road who own some of the property we use. We appreciate the understanding of all constituents, and I hope we have struck the right balance. Our out-sourcing of the fueling operations at Clifton Dock to Island Heating and Plumbing continued this past season, and we believe the arrangement continues to work well for all parties. Traditional customers get the service there to which they have become accustomed, and the Fleet/CDC leaves the re-fueling operations to professionals. CDC also manages the mooring operations in the main harbor, and in Gil- patrick's Cove. In the main harbor, our mooring rates continue to provide good value, particularly to Fleet members, and at Gilpatrick's Cove where launch service is provided 7 days a week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, the moor- ing field has been expanded in an attempt to keep up with member demand. We are still forced to disappoint some willing mooring renters because of a Fleet Management - Page 4 lack of available mooring permits. We are aware of the problem, and will work with the appropriate authorities to expand our capacity; once again, a problem of too much demand versus not enough moorings. NEHSS: The sailing school concluded perhaps the busiest year in its history, with total enrollment up over 20% (204 to 247). It is notable too that several sessions were completely filled, with classes doubling up, or the School of- fering afternoon sessions to handle the demand. The school also expanded its outreach into the community through a formally funded scholarship program, a continuation/expansion of its collaborative with the kids in the Neighborhood House day camp program (on Friday mornings), and the goal of expanding its Governing Board with additional non-Fleet community leaders. The Neighborhood House collaborative drew 30-35 young sailors each week this year, nearly twice the numbers from last year. Additionally, two participants from the one-day program last year became full-time students in our program this year. The Sailing School has also been active reaching out to other area clubs to promote friendly competition in the form of team races and other "social" events. I am very proud of the efforts they have made, and the participa- tion it has engendered. Activities like this have heightened our stature in the region and expanded the popularity and fun of the sport among the next generation of sailors. By way of example, the W. Barton Eddison Race, a junior event tradition- ally sailed in IOD's, has been expanded to include juniors from other area programs. Participation this year was over 100 kids!! Additionally, we were honored to have had Barton Eddison's daughter, Mary Welch and son William Eddison on hand for the trophy presentation. In a letter Mrs. Welch wrote to me a few days after the event, she made a point of telling me how pleased she was (and how pleased her father would have been) that the race has grown to become such a prestigious and popular event. Undoubtedly the highlight of the summer both for the Fleet, and the Sailing School was the 3 day Junior Olympics event held in July. This event drew 155 boats and over 200 kids from as far away as Bermuda. Those who witnessed the event will likely never forget the line of cars with trailers in tow, ringing Sea Street patiently waiting their turn to launch their boats each morning, Fleet Management - Page 5 then forming a similar queue at the end of the day to fetch back their craft. Observers will likely also not forget the strong squall that ran through the race course on one of afternoon racing sessions. Careful monitoring of the weather gave the organizing committee time to get the competitors off the water in time to overt any unfortunate events, a testament to careful planning and volunteer involvement. Thanks surely go to Malinda Crain and the Board of the Sailing School, as well as to Sarah and Greg Wilkinson for their tireless efforts on behalf of the Sailing School and junior sailing in the region generally. Thanks also go to the volunteers who made the Junior Olympic event SO successful. Physical Plant: Through the successful fund raising efforts of the Sailing School, several of the physical additions to the waterfront came by way of voluntary contributions: specifically, the Sailing School added ten new Opti's, and a new float to accommodate them. Henry Reath's family also donated a beautiful new teak bench which will be inscribed and reside near the Captain's Shack at the head of the pier. It is near a spot where Henry Reath spent many contented hours as a child observing the anchorage and talking to the popular boat captain's of that day. The rest of the physical plant remains in good shape: the pier remains sound, the Fleet House's new roof has eliminated the persistent leaks, and the floats are in good repair. The pathway from the clubhouse to the street, eroded by the heavy rains during the late spring, will be replaced just after Labor Day, and the grounds maintenance program undertaken last year will continue to make improvements to the plantings in the parking lot area, as well as around the Fleet House grounds. Finances: We have nearly achieved our goal of having one year's worth of operating expenses in reserve to cover unexpected expenditures at the Fleet. This reserve allowed us to hold the line on dues this past year, and to reduce the capital dues charge by a modest amount. The Executive Committee will be reviewing our capital needs this winter to determine what resources to tap to keep the plant looking first rate. However, they begin those discussions from a strong financial starting point. Fleet Management - Page 6 Activities: Our modest organization continues to offer the membership an amazingly active calendar of races and activities. In the 60+ days of opera- tions during the summer, the Fleet ran over 80 races; a combined total for one-design racers, juniors, and cruising boat owners. Thanks go to Greg and his staff, again, for managing this program, and spe- cial thanks as well to Rear Commodore Bob Johnstone for his leadership in promoting cruising class activities - both on the water and off - and for again Chairing the successful Downeast Raceweek event in August. Additionally, Bob produced another terrific speaker for Fleet Night in July - a relative of his as it develops - Brad Van Liew, winner of the recent Solo Around the World Race. Communications: We continue to make real strides with the use of our web- site, for which I thank my brother Steve (for the design), and Greg Wilkinson (for the implementation). The calendar of events, mooring information, membership information, announcements, Sailing School information/forms, and even current racing results can all be accessed anytime on the Fleet web-site. Communications have expanded as well through the use of group e-mail exchanges among the International Class participants as they debrief race winners in the days following the regular series races. Tips on tactics and sail trim are exchanged in these group mailings in an effort to share ideas and make all participants better competitors. I'd like to close by thanking the other Flag Officers: Sandy Andrews and Bob Johnstone, as well as the rest of the Executive Committee for their time and effort during the year. It's been a pleasure working as a member of the Executive Committee the last several years. I believe the Fleet has never been stronger, and I wish my successors continued success. Respectfully Submitted, Harry R. Madeira, Jr. Commodore 2005-2006 Fleet Management - Page 7 Auriga Commodore Harry R. Madeira, Jr. 2005-2006 IOD Class Fleet Management - Page 8 Greg Wilkinson General Manager's Report Summer Season 2006 It's my pleasure to report on the 2006 season at the Northeast Harbor Fleet, the Northeast Harbor Sailing School, and the Clifton Dock Corporation. Northeast Harbor Fleet The Northeast Harbor Fleet remains the most active sailing organization on Mount Desert Island and 2006 saw the most sailing and racing activity in my 7 year tenure as manager. The Fleet conducted 83 sailboat races over the past 57 days. Boats ranging in size from 8' to 52', skippered by sailors ranging in age from 9 years old to a little older than nine years old, have sailed in our races. The format of the racing is as varied as our boats, from 10 minute, round the buoys Mercury and Optimist races, to 11 mile IOD races with islands in the middle of the beat, to a 30+ mile point-to-point Cruising Class race. Specifically, the one-design racing schedule has been expanded. The IODs now sail two races on Saturdays and the July and August Series are now 10- 12 races long, up to 50% more racing in each series than in past years. The two-race format has been well received. And Mondays remain a one-race day, in keeping with the tradition of 9-12 mile races. The Cruising Class has also expanded their racing schedule and have bol- stered participation. 42 boats sailed in the cruising classes' 18 races this summer. Participation in our local events - the MDI Series and our Mid- week Shorthanded/Non-Spinnaker races - was up 50%. The sailing in DERW and the August Cruise was the 'best yet' according to many partici- pants. Fleet Management - Page 9 Our racing schedule is ambitious and is the backbone of the Fleet. Many thanks to the able staff who ran the races, and to our class captains cruis- ing class captain Bob Johnstone and IOD class captains John Henry and Sandro Vitelli- who continue to work hard to increase participation. The Northeast Harbor Fleet itself is a very healthy club. As Gary and Shel- don have reported, the Fleet is in a sound financial position, thanks to the ongoing efforts of the Flag Officers and the Executive Committee. In ad- dition, the physical plant has enjoyed recent improvements including the new roof last year, improvements to the parking area, and the donation of a beautiful new bench near the Captain's Shack. Upcoming improvements will include replacement of windows and upgrades to the bathrooms. Northeast Harbor Sailing School The Northeast Harbor Sailing School had a very exciting year. Our ten new optimist dinghies expanded our capacity. Yet it was the excitement generated by our staff that quickly helped us to realize and even exceed that increased capacity! We had 252 registered sailors, and an additional 30-35 kids from the Neighborhood House sailing with us once per week. Enroll- ment grew SO much at the beginner/intermediate level, that we now offer two 'sections' of that class - one in the morning and a second one in the afternoon. Despite conflicts with other activities, the new afternoon section quickly filled. Special thanks go out to our staff who not only created this excitement, but adapted quickly to growth beyond our expectations. Thanks also go to all the volunteers who made the Northeast Junior Olym- pics a successful, exciting event. For those who missed the regatta, it was nothing short of spectacular. 155 boats and 202 sailors from as far away as Bermuda and Nova Scotia enjoyed two great days of racing in the Great Harbor. The effort to run the event went beyond the Fleet membership. The regatta was sailed out of the Sea Street Marina with the support of the Town of Mount Desert's Board of Selectman, Police Department, and Harbor Master. At a debrief with the Chief of Police and Harbormaster, we discussed how things could be improved when we run a similar event in the future, not if we run a similar event. Thanks again to all who helped make the Junior Olympics a success for the entire community. The leadership of the Sailing School is working hard beyond the shores of MDI. Malinda Crain founded the Downeast Junior Sailing Association two years ago. DEJSA now boasts 12 member clubs from Castine east to Han- Fleet Management - Page 10 cock Point. Through the efforts of the DEJSA, Jr. sailing in our area is now well organized and coordinated from club to club. The result has been more camaraderie and competition between junior sailors from different clubs than ever before. Events like our Barton Eddison race, which attracted 120 DEJSA junior sailors, are complemented by weekly league-style team races between DEJSA clubs. NEHSS sailors traveled to Hancock Point, KYC, and Bucks Harbor for weekly team races and hosted MDICSC, Seal Harbor, and Castine YC at home events. Like the NEHF, the NEHSS is well supported by an active Board of Direc- tors. Special thanks go to SS President Malinda Crain for her efforts to im- prove junior sailing at the Fleet and beyond. Clifton Dock Corporation 2006 marked the first full season with the Clifton Dock Corporation under Fleet Management. The fueling operation continues to be operated by Island Plumbing and Heating. Moorings at Clifton Dock and in Gilpatrick's Cove are in high demand. We now have a mooring waiting list and I'm happy to report that this list has remained relatively short. Moorings have been added to Gilpatrick's Cove anchorage, and improvements have been made to the 'string' moorings to accommodate larger boats. At Clifton Dock itself, a new parking policy was adopted which has resulted in decreased pressure on the parking areas, while allowing Clifton Dock mooring customers and NEHF members ample access to parking. Going forward, our aim is to keep the mooring waiting list as short as pos- sible and to provide the same high level of service at Clifton Dock that mari- ners have become accustomed to. In closing, after seven years, I remain impressed with the amount of sailing activity that is conducted from this modest facility. I am proud to play an active role in such a strong sailing community. I'd like to thank the Execu- tive Committee for their support, and especially Gary Madeira for two years of excellent leadership as Commodore. Lastly, I'd like to thank Sarah for all her hard work and especially her patience.

The event is typically centered with a guest speaker in a casual dinner setting. Our speaker for 2006 was Brad Van Liew. Imagine rocketing off monstrous waves in a race boat in "Perfect Storm" conditions with obstacles like hurricanes and icebergs to consider. You are alone doing this for 148 days. It is a situation that most of us would dearly like to avoid. It's a place where Brad Van Liew thrives. On Fleet Night in the Neighborhood House, he riveted members with his life-risking dream of sailing around the world. His was a story of an adrena- line seeking adventurer and his accomplishments on the water. In the style of a master story teller, he took us along on his voyage of the Around Alone extreme solo sailing around the globe. The only sailor ever to win all 5 legs of this treacherous race, Brad takes us with him, step by step, from start to the well deserved finish. Aboard Tommy Hilfiger Free- dom American, we learned what it takes to win one of the world's most arduous sporting events. By: Linda Reeve Chairperson of House Committee Brad Van Liew and family Fleet Awards and Special Eventst - Page 24 Joseph L. Grant On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Northeast Harbor Fleet, I would like to extend congratulations to Dr. Joseph L. Grant on the publication of his fine book: History of the Northeast Harbor Fleet. The book chronicles the early days of the Fleet from 1890 to the present, recording such events as the changes in yacht types, and detailing the various physical locations of the Fleet, prior to settling on the current headquarters in Gilpatrick's Cove. Just before publication of this Annual Report, we were saddened to learn of the passing of Joe Grant. An "In Memoriam" piece will be part of the 2007 Annual Report. For now, The Northeast Harbor Fleet would like to offer it's condolences to Mary Grant and his family. Harry R.

Racing activity was up by 14% over the summer of 2005. 43 boats participated at one time or another in 18 races sponsored by the Fleet for a total of 204 individual boat starts. 8 boats sailed in 8 or more races: Eventyr, Far Out, Flirt, Gaylark, Grey Eagle, Sidewinder, Tern and Va Pen- siero. The MDI Series races averaged 10 boats versus 7 in 2005, for a 43% in- crease. Special Race participation was up 53% with 66 boat starts VS. 43 last year. The "Non-Spinnaker" Wednesday races were increased from 2 to 5 events with generally 7-9 boats (vs 6-7 in 2005). This new series was better at- tended than the MDI Series had been in 2005. Hospice and the Warm-Up Series had about the same number of participants as in 2005 Sailing conditions for Downeast Raceweek and August Cruise were spec- tacular with participation of 27 boats overall, one less than in 2005. NEHF TEAM WINS HOSPICE NATIONALS - May 12-14 The Fleet team, skippered by Bob Johnstone won the National Hospice Regattas Championship for 2005 in Annapolis MD. The 8 race series was sailed in J/105s with 21 teams competing. These teams qualified by being the win- ners of other Hospice Regattas around the country. Top five were Northeast Harbor ME 2,1,5,3,10,7,4,10 (41 pts) Annapolis MD (61 pts); Rappahan- nock River VA (63 pts); Havre de Grace MD (63 pts) ; Henderson Harbor NY (66 pts). NEHF BOATS CAPTURE BERMUDA RACE PRIZES - June 16-23 In a very challenging, slow 100th Anniversary Newport-Bermuda Race, two Northeast Harbor boats excelled. Kaighn Smith skippered his Swan 38 Gaylark to a 4th place (5th Overall) finish in Division 1 under IRC and a 6th(9th) under the Ocean Racing Rule (ORR). He was awarded the Commo- dore & Mrs. Robert L. Hall Trophy for the top Swan among Cruiser/Racers. That's quite an honor, because there were 44 Swans competing among the 240+ on the record entry list. (Author's footnote: 44 J/Boats, also). David Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 27 Rockefeller's partner Rick Burnes sailed their IMX 45 Cybele to a 1st place in Class 7 under ORR and a 2nd place under IRC. Cybele was awarded 4th Overall for the Bigelow Memorial Trophy, going to the boat with at least 4 family crew members aboard. WARM-UP RACE 1 - July 2 (8.32 nm) Skies cleared but winds gusting to 25 kts. Remained, calling for a "Non-Spinnaker" race leaving Green- ings to Starboard then East Bunker Ledge Gong then to the finish . Bob Johnstone's Tern started on port behind the fleet going off on starboard and was able to fetch the Greenings Bell in SW Harbor. Hal Kroeger's Far Out took the gun by 38 seconds, but not enough ahead of Tern and Henry Brauer in Reiver, which took the top spots. WARM-UP RACE 2 - July 2 (9.34 mm) With winds moderating and the sun peeking through fast moving clouds, the RC gave contestants the choice to race either with or without spinnakers. Far Out, without spin- naker, thundered into the lead on a long fetch out the Western Way to the Long Ledge Bell but was gradually overtaken on the run to the Bear Island Bell by Reiver, with spinnaker, finishing 11 seconds behind the J/100. Far Out in cruising configuration rated 87 with Reiver at 90 with spinnaker. Series Results: (1) Reiver, J/100, Henry Brauer, 1-1 (2) Tern, J/100, Bob Johnstone, 1-3 (3) Far Out, Morris 52, Hal Kroeger, 3-2 (4) Sidewinder, J/105, Tom Rolfes, 5-4 (5) Flirt, Center Harbor 31, Mike & Lyn Cook 4-NF (6) Va Pensiero, Center Harbor 49, Joe Weber, 6-NS POST-PICNIC NON-SPINNAKER RACE - July 3 (8.16nm) This would be interesting. After a joyous red-dog picnic and Club opening ceremony, the IODs and 7 boat Cruising Class went to the starting line in a dying northwesterly. The IODs started at 2:10 headed toward Somes Sound. In the middle of the Shorthanded Start for the Cruising Class, the wind shifted 180 degrees and turned cool. The starting line was changed for a race to the Western Way Bell, back to Spurling Point Bell, out to BWW again, then to Bear Island Bell where the race was shortened. With Steve Ma- deira helming, Reiver took the start, pinning Tern to leeward headed to Great Cranberry. Andrew Kennedy steering Tern tacked away heading to- ward the Manset shore where a strip of silver indicated a new breeze. Sure enough a nice 30 degree shift and warm air. No need to use the compass, when the wind gets cool tack onto port, when warm onto starboard. Tern and Dan Bienkowski's Morning Star dueled around the course, pin wheel- ing the last windward mark abreast with Morning Star taking the gun, but Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 28 losing out to Tern and Reiver on corrected. Results: (1) Tern (2) Reiver (3) Morning Star, J/44, (4) Side Winder (5) Va Pen- siero (6) Eventyr (7) Lancey Lu. MOUNT DESERT INVITATIONAL (MDI) OPENER - July 9 Sunday saw the Biggest MDI racing fleet of the Century with 11 Cruising/Racing boats on the starting line. That's up from 7 participants a year ago. Kaighn Smith in Gaylark, fresh from Bermuda, was the winner. Runner-up by only 2 seconds was Tern. There was a bit of deja vu at play in playing the tricky sailing conditions of the Great Harbor: Gaylark beat Tern by 1:12 in the same opening race a year ago. Places 1 through 4 were separated by only 25 seconds. Mike Cook's beautiful Center Harbor 31 Flirt was third, just 17 seconds behind Tern, with Reiver in 4th. Stocky Smith's Farr 44 Weather Gauge was first to finish in 3:02:21 in spite of fishing for lobsters for about 10 minutes after looking really fast on the first leg, then dragging for herring on the spinnaker take down near Marsh Head on Islesford. Far Out had the race won handily at Long Ledge but went left and parked along the Manset shore on the run to the finish. The wind line had stayed pretty much between South Bunker Ledge and the Long Ledge Gong, SO it paid off to hold on a longer starboard jibe until the Western Way entrance buoys could be fetched on a fairly hot angle. Seems like the skipper which makes the least mistakes, wins. Navigation in these races around islands can be a challenge as Va Pensiero unfortunately discovered. The 49 footer, grounded along the southern shore of Sutton Island, requiring power to get off the bricks. The Race Committee, by VHF granted her permission to continue racing. So damage was slight. Winds were South at 7-12 knots, though building late with some gusts reported over 20 knots. The race started at "A" mark in Great Harbor, went out the Western Way, the scenic route around the Cranberries, returning to "A" then a long Windward-Leeward to Long Ledge Gong and return. The remaining MDI Series races start at Noon on Sundays of July 16, July 23 and August 20. Results - See MDI Summary. NON-SPINNAKER RACE - July 12 Michael Cook on FLIRT topped close rivals Tern and Gaylark in the 7 boat fleet sailing in the Western Way. Gordon Haaland on Eventyr was doing well until trying to sniff out a non- existent wind on the Manset shore and Tom Morris put in a credible per- formance sailing single-handed on Maartje, one of the new Morris M36s. Results: (1) Flirt (2) Tern (3) Gaylark (4) Flying Clipper, J/109, Peter Hel- dman (5) Maartje, Morris M36, Tom Morris, (6) Sidewinder (7) Eventyr Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 29 MAINE HOSPICE REGATTA - July 15 Flirt won the day with Tern and Far Out following.

MDI RACE 2 - July 16 Sunday was another interesting day of sailboat racing. The Race Committee set up the starting line at the mouth of Somes Sound to avoid the dense fog at the usual start location between Spurling Point, Great Cranberry and Greenings Island. The race went upwind to the Spurling Point Gong, downwind into Somes Sound to Fleet Mark "Y", then out around Greenings to Spurling Pt Gong and back to the finish at the Somes Sound entrance Bell. The many fog banks, some strange tidal currents and constant wind shifts made the race challenging for all. As the slowest rated boat in the fleet of 12 boats, Flirt finished close enough under its handicap to save it's time by 61 seconds on Tern and Gaylark after a 2 hour race. Far Out got the gun for crossing the line first, 2 seconds ahead of Tern. With two races to go, the three leaders for the series are tied after two races with 4 points each: Flirt (3,1), Gaylark (1,3) and Tern (2,2). Results: See MDI Summary MDIRACE 3 - July 23 There was some doubt there'd be any racing. The forecast the day before was for 20-25 knots with gusts over 30, widespread fog, thunder and lightning. The Bar Harbor weather station even report- ed snow at 5:55 AM Sunday morning. Not what you'd call ideal sailing weather. This is meant to be fun after all, not an Outward Bound survival course. All contestants were put on alert the day before that the race may be postponed and that a decision would be made by 10 AM Sunday morning. Sunday morning didn't start too well with the Bar Harbor snow report. But, the low pressure system went through faster than anticipated, the radar progs showed that rain would clear out before noon and that winds would be 6-7 knots out of the north. Quite a change. Turned out to be a nice day with light winds from the North. And quite a turn of events among the 11 racers who made it to the start- ing line off Spurling Point on Great Cranberry. It wasn't even close!. Dr. Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 30 Kaighn Smith in the venerable gray Gaylark beelined it for the Northeast Harbor shore, didn't make any mistakes and got the gun across the finish line as the first to finish in the fleet even though he is one of the slower rated boats. The course was to the Somes Sound entrance buoy, back to the start, then up around Greenings Island to the finish. MDI Race 4 was started on August 20 but cancelled for lack of wind, SO the final score for the series was computed on the basis of 3 races.

NINE boats raced yesterday! That's an all-time high. The RC set a challenging course for tide and winds. Out the Western Way to the Bell, back under the Cranberries to East Bunker Ledge, then to "Y" Mark in Somes Sound, then to the finish at "A" mark. The port end of the line was favored by 10 degrees, but Tern with Around- Alone winner Brad Van Liew aboard more than made up for picking the wrong side of the line by being the first boat to the Manset shore, to round the bell in first. Going back near Great Cranberry to stay out of the strong ebb current was not the quickest route, however. Tom Morris in his new M42 played it just right by heading back down along the Manset shore where the tide seemed less and wind greater. He managed to round Spurl- ing Pt. in second, having passed Gaylark, Reiver and several other boats. It was a parade to East Bunker Ledge and back toward Somes Sound un- der Suttons. Fog, stronger winds, etc. provided some entertainment sailing through the Fleet anchorage. Everyone struggled in light airs downwind Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 31 entering Somes Sound. Tern escaped still in the lead and had to tack into a dying southerly between Greenings and the Fleet. But this is the Great Harbor. Gaylark caught the warm westerly first, but then got stalled under Greenings tween winds, only losing out to Tern by 14 seconds. Not SO with Flirt, which merrily cruised across the finish, carrying a nice breeze from Somes Sound through the area where the rest had struggled to win by 1:55. Results: (1) Flirt (2) Tern, Brad Van Liew (3) Gaylark (4) Grey Eagle (5) Reiver (6) Sidewinder (7) Cary Al, Morris M36, Tom Morris (8) Serena, Alden Caravelle, Andres Roomet (9) Eventyr NON-SPINNAKER RACE - August 3 - Olympic Silver Medalist in the Soling Class, Jim Brady, with his 6 year old daughter, Leila joined Bob Johnstone on Tern. Bob first met Jim when he was the 1983 Laser represen- tative in the Pan American Games in Venezuela, while Bob was the official measurer of the J/24 Class. Since then he has had success in the America's Cup, J/24s and other one-design classes and worked for North Sails. Re- cently, however, there's been less sailing and more family here on Great Cranberry during August. Jim has been away from sailing long enough to be classified an amateur by the International Sailing Federation but obvi- ously hadn't lost his touch. This was daughter Leila's first race. She was presented the winning mug and plans to begin sailing in the Northeast Har- bor Sailing School next year. Margin of victory was only 35 seconds after a 2 hour race to the Somes Sound entrance buoy out to the Spurling Point Bell of Great Cranberry, around Greenings to a finish off the Fleet anchorage. Gaylark caught Tern when the latter fell into a wind hole North of Greenings with only 2 legs of the race to go. Tern managed to pick a few wind shifts on the way to the finish to open up more than the 2 minute margin necessary for the victory. Of special note, also was the 3rd placed trophy winning performance of Dr. Peter and Barbie Horneffer and family in the first race on their recently acquired J/105. They were closing fast at the end. Had the course been any longer, the results could have changed. Another first was the appearance of the Morgan 38 Estrellita on the race course. This boat has been the summer home of Glenn and Deborah Wiggins for a number of years in Northeast Harbor. Results: (1) Tern, J/100, Jim Brady (2) Gaylark (3) US 404, J/105, Dr. Peter & Barbie Horneffer (4) Grey Eagle (5) Sidewinder (6) Estrellita (7) Va Pensiero Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 32 NON-SPINNAKER RACE - August 23 With the NCAA Women's Rowing Champ from Princeton, Gevvy Stone, and her father Greg Stone as guest helmsman, Tern put on the jets for a 4 minute win over Side- winder and (finally!) Flirt with Bill Wilkinson's J/32 GREY EAGLE in 4th. Course was Western Way Gong, around East Bunker's Ledge, Somes Sound Entrance Bouy, Greenings and Finish. Results: (1) Tern (2) Side- winder (3) Flirt (4) Grey Eagle. 100 Tern Wilmerding Trophy - 2nd Overall Morris Trophy - 1st Div. 2 Downeast Raceweek Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 33 USA93141 USA 9314 Eventyr Overall Winner Race #2 Downeast Raceweek Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 34 USA 52045 AZU 25052 Cybele Becton Bowl Winner for Fastest Boat Downeast Raceweek Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 35 Becton's Ariana wins Downeast Race Week XII 1836 Ariana Overall and Division III Winner Jeff Becton's classic, light-blue, 40 year old Ohlson 41 Ariana from the Kollegewidgwok YC in Blue Hill won the "Max" Warburg Memorial Tro- phy for the best overall score in DownEast Race Week among all boats over five races, also winning the Arthur F. Chace Bar Graph as top boat in Divi- sion 3 and the Constance B. Madeira Trophy for the first day's run of the August Cruise. Winner of the Harry Wilmerding Tray for 2nd overall, the Morris Trophy for top boat in Division 2, and the Arundel Plate for the Au- gust Cruise was the newest boat in the fleet form Northeast Harbor, Tern, Bob Johnstone's J/100 #111 launched in June. Third overall and winner of the J/Boats Trophy for Division 1 as well as winner of the Paul Nevin Tro- phy was Hal Kroeger's, Morris 52 Far Out. Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 36 The Becton Bowl for the fastest boat, based on cumulative elapsed time for all 5 races was awarded to David Rockefeller Jr. and Rick Burnes' IMX 45 Cybelle. Another noteworthy performance was that of Gov. Pete du Pont's J/100 Miss Marvelous from North Haven which was leading the overall point score for the week by 2 points and won the Nevin Cup for Division 2, but was unable to participate in the final 3 races of the Northeast Harbor Fleet's traditional August Cruise. DERW combines the Kollegewidgwok YC's Nevin Cup and the NEHF August Cruise for a week long event. Com- plete results for each of the race days are shown in the summary. DERW - NEVIN CUP I - August 6 Sunday's 20.1 mile race started in Jericho Bay under cloudless skies and a light/moderate sea breeze with a beat then reach through Merchant's Row, a run around Bald Island with a beat to the finish. Marc Heilner's beautiful Center Harbor Boat Yard 50, Hoi-An was the winner with builder Steve White aboard. Seal Bay, Vinal- haven was the fleet anchorage and raft-up. DERW-NEVIN - CUP 2 - August 7 Monday was overcast with a building SW breeze 10-20 knots. The KYC Committee boat set a 3 mile windward course followed by a 15 mile run against the current, among the islands of East Penobscot Bay to the Bucks Harbor Bell, then a close gusty fetch down the Eggemoggin Reach, 28.5 miles in total. Far Out put her overall length to work, winning this race and the Nevin Cup handily under its combined corrected time format DERW - AUGUST CRUISE 1 - August 9 Beautiful weather contin- ued on Wednesday with a start near Orono Island. Gordon Haaland's J/42 Eventyr did the best job of negotiating light winds and favorable current through the Casco Passage, the long beat down Jericho Bay and the reach into Southeast Harbor to win this 20.1 mile race overall with Ariana and Tern close behind. The fleet enjoyed a calm, full moon anchorage. Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 37 Raft-up in Southeast Harbor, Deer Isle DERW - AUGUST CRUISE 2 - August 10 Thursday was a navigator's challenge with a start just West of Eastern Mark Island with a half dozen possible routes through the islands of Merchant's Row upwind to Nun 10, NW of Merchant Island. Initially Sherness and Eventyr played it smart by heading directly into open water away from the islands, but then the next challenge was how to get to Black Island in Blue Hill Bay: Through the Casco Passage, North of Marshall or South of Marshall around Swan's Is- land. Then there were wind/current bands between Long Island and Swans to deal with downwind around Black Island to starboard then with the cur- rent and spotty winds returning to RW"BC" Whistle, then to the finish off Frenchboro. Except there was no whistle or buoy. David Rockefeller's Cy- belle was probably wondering whether fatigue had set in on this 34.0 mile race when approaching this phantom buoy and seeing nothing on the water. They radioed the Race Committee, who then advised everyone on VHF 73 to round the spot in the water where their GPS plotters show the mark should have been. This small glitch didn't seem to dampen the lobster roll picnic on Janneke Nielson's lawn overlooking the anchorage in Frenchboro nor did the line of thunderstorms which hit just after dark as nearly everyone had returned to their boats for the evening. Ariana was the overall winner of this race, followed by Tern and Eventyr. Mrs. Nielson was awarded the Chairman's Bowl for her contribution to this year's event. Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 38 Start of Race 4 DERW - AUGUST CRUISE 3 - August 11 Friday was an idyllic Maine day with a 5-15 knot shifty northerly. The fleet sailed upwind with favor- able current to Staples Ledge, out against the current around Great Duck Is- land then finished this 18.7 mile race in Bass Harbor to end the week. Scott Loweth sailing the Taylor 41 Sheerness for the Maine Maritime Academy won this race and also the Lewis K. Cherot Memorial Trophy for the best 3 races in Division 1. But, Ariana could do no wrong, catching the right amount of wind to hang in with the leaders, even reaching at 8 knots across the notoriously fickle Bass Harbor straight to the finish to secure her overall win on corrected time.

Cruiser/Racer Class and Downeast Race Week - Page - 44 THE 2006 FAR OUT CHALLENGE The Far Out Challenge Trophy was put up by Hal and Carol Kroeger to encourage creation of a season-ending event for the Cruiser Class. The Far Out Challenge is a Pursuit Race around the Cranberries for all keel boats of the Fleet over 22' in length on the day after the Annual Meeting. FAR OUT CHALLENGE - August 27 Twelve boats competed in the Fleet's inaugural end of the season pursuit race for all keelboats in the Great Harbor area over 22 feet in length. Dr. Kaighn Smith's Swan 38 Gaylark was the winner, edging out Bob Johnstone's J/100 Tern just prior to the finish. To encourage more participation without need for organizing crew, a trophy is also awarded to the first boat finishing without spinnaker. This happened to be Hal Kroeger's Morris 52 Far Out for which the event is named. A "pursuit race" is when handicaps for the 12 mile race are given at the start, with the slowest boat, in this case the 5th place Luders 16, sailing without spinnaker starting first, 36 minutes before the fastest rated boat, Far Out. In theory, given a steady wind SO that the fastest boats complete the course averaging about 6 knots, all boats should finish at the same time. Who can argue with the formula when in this race the last boat to start, Far Out, just beat the first boat to start, Diana Paine and Sturgis Haskins in the Luders 16 Ondine, across the finish line by less than 2 seconds after nearly 3 hours of sailing.

The race is a handicap event in which all of the Fleet's traditional classes of keel boats are eligible to par- ticipate: International One Design, J-24, Luders-16, A-boat, Mercury, and Bullseye (wooden and fiberglass). The race course is a measured distance which all classes must sail. The start is staggered such that the smaller boats start first, and the larger boats start last. The first boat to cross the finish line wins. In 2006 participation in the Hayward Cup Race was opened to competitors belonging to other yacht clubs located on the Great Harbor of MDI. 2006 Hayward Cup Winners Sturgis Haskins, Diana Paine and Sherwood Carr One-Design Class - Page - 52 2006 Hayward Cup Results PI Boat Class Sail # Helm Club 1 Ondine Luders 16 32 Sturgis Haskins SWHF 2 Red Hot Luders 16 31 Arthur Davis SWHF 3 Phat Mercury 13 Parker Brown NEHF 4 Merrywind Mercury 23 Hunter & Ford Johnstone NEHF 5 Paladin Luders 16 307 Tom Rolfes SWHF 6 Colunbia Mercury 14 Aaron & Nicky Meyerson NEHF 7 Auriga IOD 2 Gary Madeira NEHF 8 Voodoo Luders 16 30 Folger SWHF 9 Sea Biscuit Luders 16 MDI 29 S.

His recollections follow: "I had met and came to admire a number of KYC sailors during the early days of organizing Down East Race Week. In the midst of discussions regarding the DERW cruising boat event, the idea of a team race in one-design boats developed, and came to be called the "Red Gauntlet Challenge". The racing was started in my first year as Commodore, and has continued each year since, alternating the venue annually between Northeast Harbor (sailed in IOD's), and Blue Hill (sailed in Atlantics). The first Red Gauntlet Challenge trophy, donated by me, was a workman's glove dipped in red plastic and nailed to a rough board in keeping with the "Red Gaunt- let" title of the series. It was to be presented to the winning club each year with a bottle of Champagne, and a small can of paint SO that the winning Yacht Club could memorialize its victory on the plaque by inscribing their Club's initials. Several years later, David Rockefeller, Jr, during his "Commodoreship", replaced (upgraded?) that trophy with a mahogany trophy with outlines of sailboats, a move that seemed to cement this event as an important part of both Yacht Club's annual racing calendar. For a year or two both trophies were presented simultaneously.' On August 17, 2006, a group of Northeast Harbor Fleet IOD team racers traveled to Blue Hill to participate in the annual team race against the Kol- legewidgwok Yacht Club. In Blue Hill, the teams sail in Atlantics. The Northeast Harbor team lost 3-0. The conditions were difficult and the Blue Hill team got off the line faster than our team and stayed in front for the two pivotal races. The winds were less than 5 knots from the Northwest and shifting over 40 degrees. The windward legs were one tack caused by the large shifts. It was critical to start well and Blue Hill was on their game at the start. The consolation race included some fine tactics by our team turning a losing 3-4-5 around the two top marks into a winning 1-2-5 rounding the leeward mark. Unfortunately, we were unable to maintain that lead at the finish and ended up losing that race as well.

Participation in the Northeast Harbor Sailing School can be the launching of a lifetime of joy on the water, for participation in national and international events, and for meeting many new friends with a common interest. Carson Crain (12 years old, Opti Blue Fleet) sailed in more than 16 Optimist Dinghy regattas in 2006. He competed in the Midwinters, Atlantic Coasts, New England Championships, Nationals and UJS Team Trials. His finish at Midwinters last year qualified him to be part of the US Team travelling in April to Holland for the International Easter Regatta. Philip Crain completed in over 25 regattas in 2006. He competed in Laser Gulf Coast Championships, Laser Nationals, Laser Atlantic Coast Cham- pionships, Laser North American Championships and Laser Radial World Championships this year. In addition, Philip sails 420s for his high school team and finished 3rd in the High School National Singlehanded Champion- ships this year. Ford Johnstone (8 years old, Opti Green Fleet) had quite a year in this beginner division, winning the Green Fleet in the Midwest Championships, US Sailing Junior Olympics (IL); Lake Geneva Dingyfest, ILYA Inland Lakes Championship and Blue Chips. Most recently he was 2nd in the 75 boat fleet at the Orange Bowl in Miami. Hunter Johnstone (11 years old, Opti Blue Fleet) sailed in 13 regattas during the year, including the Midwinters, Atlantic Coasts, Nationals, Team Trials and Orange Bowl. He finished 2nd Overall in the Blue Chip Invitational, 3rd in the Midwest Championships on Lake Minnetonka and 4th in the Junior Olympics in Illinois. Junior Sailing - Page - 63 Two of Vice Commodore Johnstone's other grandchildren were also active in the Optimist Class. India Johnstone (10 years old, Opti Blue Fleet) was the 1st Girl in her division of the Orange Bowl Regatta in Miami, while her brother Nick Johnstone (14 years old, Opti Red Fleet) was competing in Montevideo, Uruguay as one of 5 sailors representing the USA in the Optimist World Championship. With 228 entries from 50 countries, a high- light was his winning of the 2nd Race. He also competed in Puerto Rico; Cartegena, Colombia and Lima, Peru during the year. Martha Somes is currently sailing for the Connecticut College Sailing Team.

The 202 sailors, ages 8 to 18, competed in 155 boats in seven classes - Optimist dinghy ("Opti") Green, White, Blue and Red Fleets; 420s, Lasers and Laser Radials at the Northeast Junior Olympic Sailing Festival (the "JO's). This event, sponsored by US Sailing and West Marine and hosted by the Northeast Harbor Sailing School, drew a range of young sailors, from those who have never competed before to junior sailing stars with regional, national and international titles. "The first day of racing, we were greeted with bright sunshine, temps in 80s and too much fog for sailing for the first several hours," said Regatta Director Greg Wilkinson. "This was frustrating for competitors and regatta organizers alike. Shortly after lunchtime, the fog lifted a little bit, and we were able to sail to our respective race areas. At that point we were under severe thun- derstorm watch and were closely monitoring this from the Northeast Harbor Fleet. We were able to get one race off on the two Opti lines and started a 420/Laser race when our staff at the yacht club let us know the severe thun- derstorm watch had become a warning and that a storm was approaching from the west. We immediately abandoned all races in progress and headed to the dock. Upon arriving at the dock, a moderate to severe thunderstorm came through the area. Junior Olympics 2006 - Page C-2 Opti Championship Fleet Rounding the Leeward Mark "The second day of racing saw ideal weather. We were able to race all day and got four races in on each line," Wilkinson said. "The venue was great. Our yacht club is too small and doesn't have a launching facility for an event like this, SO we held it out of the town landing. Thanks to cooperation from the Town of Mount Desert, their municipal town landing turned out to be an excellent launching site. The waters off of Northeast Harbor were ideal for this level of competition; we had flat water, relatively light wind and good sailing." "The Northeast region is somewhat more isolated than our neighbors in Massachusetts Bay Sailing Association and Southern Massachusetts Sailing Association, SO it's good for sailors in our region to be exposed to a large- scale event like this."

We've never hosted an event of this size, and it was gratifying to see everyone's efforts reflected in the smiles of the competitors. Additionally, several clubs in Down East, Maine provided support and volunteers. Cooperation was the key to this successful event."

Our club has never hosted a ju- nior event of this magnitude and it was SO gratifying to see the community come together to make this regatta a huge success. We had 205 junior sailors from all over the US as well as sailors from Bermuda, Dubai and Spain. Thank you to the Northeast Harbor Sailing School Board members who volunteered to head up the committees and spend their winter planning for this event and to the Sailing School instructors and staff who dedicat- ed several days and many hours prior to the regatta to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Thank you to the local businesses who sponsored the regatta as well as the committee who coordinated housing for the sailors. A special thank you to the food commit- tee who fed 205 sailors plus their parents and coaches breakfasts, lunches and dinner under some extreme circumstances. Thanks also to Fleet members who volunteered their time and boats to provide on the water safety support for the sail- ors WAS this contribution was cru- cial to the success of the regatta. I hope that all the volunteers en- joyed the regatta as much as the sailors did.

A. Porter Hopkins. It is awarded to a member of the Rowing Class, one in July and one in Au- gust, who has shown outstanding ability in rowing and is an enthusiastic and disciplined member of the rowing class. The name "Captain's Award" is derived from the fact that in years past many families had Captains for their boats and launches. These Captains spent much time, while awaiting orders from their employers, looking after and assisting the young children around the dock teaching them to learn about and respect the water. The award is a mahogany plaque, which hangs on the wall in the Fleet displaying the winners for each year. 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.

THE BARTON EDDISON RACE 2006 a Junior Sailing - Page - 68 Commodore William Barton Eddison Trophy W. Barton Eddison was the third Commodore of the Northeast Harbor Fleet, serving in that capacity from 1928-1935. He is generally regarded as the individual who introduced the Norwegian-designed International One Design (IOD) class of sailboat to Mount Desert Island. Each year the Fleet sponsors a race in his memory intended to introduce junior sailors to the IOD class. Effort is made to structure the race as a traditional point-to-point event, versus the more contemporary windward/leeward, "around the buoys" style event. IOD owners, or their representative, are aboard their boats during the race, and the juniors are encouraged to execute the sail trimming, and share steering responsibilities. Beginning in 2002, junior sailors enrolled in other area sailing programs were invited to participate in the event. With this expanded pool of junior sailors, the format was further modified to mix kids from different programs into the crews of each boat to further enrich the social aspect of the event.

The emphasis is not on speed, but on mastery of the skills. This trophy was presented by friends of Mr. and Mrs. Frederic C. Towers in memory of their son, Frederic C. Towers, Jr. Rank Crew 1 David Eacho, Sinclair Target & Emily Kehoe 2 Andrew Kimball, Ben Coleman & Lucas Harris 3 Parker Brown, Sam Morris & Robin Harris 4 Jonas Harris, William Kimball & Sean Joyce Frederic C.

Mrs. Fraley was, for many years, Chairman of the House Commit- tee and also was very active in racing. The trophy is awarded each year to the most improved junior sailor. Winner: Pip Koch Pip has spent much of his life as a live-a-board touring the waters of Europe aboard his parents 44' cruising ketch, but this past summer he truly became a sailor. In early July Pip climbed into an Opti and found himself in the often awkward, often challenging, but always empowering position of both captain and crew. He overcame the awkwardness, met all challenges with a cheerful smile, and has quickly grown to become one of our top sailors. Please join us in congratulating Pip as, not only the most improved sailor, but an improved person through the life lessons, fun and comaradarie of sailing at the Fleet.

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. Except as noted herein, any conflict shall be resolved by observing the fol- lowing 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 (cir- cle of thirteen stars around a fouled anchor in field) yacht ensign (if of U.S. registry). A yacht in commission and manned shall display the ensign as follows: 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 beforehand. 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 Yachts - Page - 79 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 under- way 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. Yachts - Page - 80 50006 aoooz Charade A New Morris M42 Yachts - Page - 81 LIST of YACHTS Power Craft Boat Name Owner Abrazos George B. E.

Wilbur, EA INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT December 15, 2006 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, 2006 and 2005, 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.
