Actaea, a sloop owned by Henry Sears of Boston, is winning Class X, the larger cruising class. The 1938 cruise was the sixteenth annual August cruise; the first was in 1922 (the year before the Fleet was formally brought into existence). We can't be sure where the cruise went the first night, but we can be sure that on the second day they sailed to Morgan Bay, the location of the Kollegewidgwok Yacht Club, and had lunch. One can see Long Island on the left shore of the picture and Tinkers Island in the distance, which is the view from the approach to Morgan Bay in north Blue Hill Bay. Then they sailed back in the afternoon to wherever they had spent the previous night, then sailing home the next day. There were thus four races in all, and the winner in each class got 100 points. Actaea won 377 out of a possible 400 points and won the cup. Henry Rawle was the Commodore in 1938 and must have agreed to the dates and destina- tion for the cruise. Harry Haskell was Rear Commodore and Arnold Lunt was Secretary, SO I'm sure they had input. The Executive Committee used to decide the cruise details every year in those early days of the August Cruise which has become the backbone of the Downeast Race Week Events of today.

Brown Oscar DOCK AND LAUNCH STAFF Launch Driver and Race Committee Max Caldwell Launch Driver and Race Committee Nick Ewenson 4 Commodore Henry Brauer The Commodore's Report 2004 I am pleased to report that the 2004 season was successful. All activities sponsored by The Northeast Harbor Fleet enjoyed increased participation. The weather was not always cooperative which often challenged our agile staff and forced many of us to be flexible. However, as we reflect on the summer, very few events had to be cancelled. I want to thank all of the members who volunteer their precious free time to make the summer enjoyable for all of us. Also, the Fleet staff, ably managed by Greg Wilkinson, must be congratulated for coping with unpredictable weather and a tight calendar in which to fit all of our scheduled events. The vitality of any organization such as The Northeast Harbor Fleet is ultimately measured by the strength of its membership. This summer we had more members participating in myriad events both in The Great Harbor and at far away venues. Furthermore, the continued growth of our club with the addition of new members is another sign that The Fleet is healthy and has a bright future. Before I get into the details of the season just past I want to highlight two important awards that were given at the Annual Meeting in August. We had the unique opportunity to honor one of our most senior members and one of our youngest members for their outstanding contribution to The Fleet and the sport of sailing. Please take a moment to read the complete descrip- tions of these members and the awards they received that are included in the Annual Report Harry R. Madeira was presented with the The Charles D. Dickey Memorial Award for recognition of his significant contributions to the Fleet over a period of years with particular note to his leadership of Clifton Dock Corporation. 5 Amory Loring was presented with The Kevin P. Mahaney Award for recognition of her contributions to the sport of sailing in venues beyond Mount Desert Island. Amory completed her collegiate sailing career at Dartmouth by being named an All American Crew for the 2nd time. A number of years ago, the Fleet's Executive Committee identified the need to create continuity in the management structure of the organization. We endeavored to bring to Northeast Harbor an individual that would enable us to offer the membership excellent racing, a superior junior training program and consistent quality of services. The 2004 season marked the 5th season that Greg Wilkinson has been our General Manager. This summer the man- agement of the Fleet was enhanced with the addition of Sarah Wilkinson; running the office and administrative aspects of the Fleet. The office was open 6 days a week. The land based operations were the smoothest in recent memory. The waterfront services were excellent with launch service running 7 days a week. On the race course Greg and his race management team had to deal with adverse weather much of the summer. However, all scheduled Fleet series races and special events were run. The only exception was the cancellation of the final race of the August Cruise due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley. Some of the highlights of the 2004 season include: The Fleet and Sailing School hosting a 420 racing clinic and a Green Fleet (novice) Optimist clinic prior to the July 4th opening. These events were well attended and attracted juniors from outside Northeast Harbor. Later in the month we hosted a US Optimist National Team Racing Clinic that attracted 50 sailors from across New England. One of the highlights of July was Fleet Night. We were privileged to host Bruce and Leanne Dyson with their new 8 meter Pleione. Bruce built Pleione in his own shop. The 5 year project culminated with a May 2004 launch. The Dysons were in Northeast accompanying the Eastern Yacht Club Cruise which served as Pleione's racing debut. At least 50 members were able to tour Pleione while she was at the Fleet dock. There were fewer members under the tent for Bruce's slide show but the word from all those that attended was that it was a great evening. 6 The Fleet hosted the Maine State Optimist Pram Championship July 15-16 with 55 juniors from across the state attending the event. The weather was not great but Race Committee Chairman; Greg Wilkinson was able to get all races in by towing the fleet up Somes Sound. The Barton Eddison Race was a huge success this year. The Fleet and IOD Class hosted 65 juniors from all of the junior sailing programs in the Great Harbor on 11 IODs. Reports from the event are that juniors, instructors and IOD owners all had a good time. There was renewed interest in Mercury Racing with an average of 8 Mercs on the line during the July series. Participation in the MDI Series/PHRF racing increased thanks to Hal Kroeger and Steve Homer. Down East Race Week and the August Cruise were a focus this year. We wanted to increase participation by members in both racing and social events. The Fleet hosted the Lay Day dinner with great success: 110 racers enjoyed dinner and refreshments under the tent in the parking lot. This was made possible through the able leadership of Mike Chace and Hal Kroeger. In the annual team race against Kollegewidgewok, for the Red Gauntlet Trophy the team of David Rockefeller, John Henry and Tom Fremont-Smith with some excellent crew, smashed the KYC team in their Atlantic Class Sloops on Blue Hill Bay. A number of our members ventured beyond the shores of Mt Desert to compete in events such as: a. Optimist Pram Regattas both in New England and Texas b. Bermuda Race Week in IOD's C. The Bermuda Race d. Nantucket Invitational in IOD's e. The IOD World Championship at Fisher's Island, NY 7 Finally, it has been an honor and a pleasure to serve you and the Fleet as Commodore. This institution has a great history and tradition. Thank you for entrusting me with this responsibility. I am confident that it will be in good hands going forward. The new team lead by Commodore Gary Madeira is able and will serve the Fleet well. Fair sailing, Henry G.

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, 2004 and 2003, 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.

HM MY HORTON, McFARLAND & VEYSEY CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ELLSWORTH, MAINE 04605 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 31, 2004 Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Activities The purpose of The Northeast Harbor Fleet is to provide racing & cruising activities serving 375 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 All cash is held in liquid checking, money market or savings deposits. Deposits at September 30, 2004 include $73,343 in excess of insured limits. 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.

We had over 35 competitors in six scheduled races, five of which were successfully run, and good weather except for the last day. Shore side activities were well attended and well hosted by the North Haven Casino and the Northeast Harbor Fleet. West Penobscot Bay Race (WPBR), August 7 - DERW started with the skippers' meeting and reception at the North Haven Casino, coordinated by Commodore Mitch Cabot, assisted by Pete DuPont on Friday evening, August 6th. Saturday the 7th dawned clear with a light norther blowing in the Fox Island Thorofare, which meant a start out into West Penobscot Bay. The course led us south to Buoy RW FT Moa Bell at the western entrance to the Thorofare , thence north around Vinalhaven, thence southerly to finish off Babbidge Island ledges at the eastern end of the Thorofare. As the race progressed the norther died leaving several boats stranded. A southerly then filled in that served to re-connect the fleet somewhat, but the die was basically cast and finishing positions did not change much. The shortened race ended off Bald Island in East Penobscot Bay. Division 1 honors went to Pequot, a Hinckley 44, owned by Bevin Cherot. In Division 2, Bob Johnstone was first in his new Tern, a J-100. Divisions 3 and 4 raced together for the series and line honors were taken by Milady, a Sabre 34 owned by Chris Jennings. Most of the boats then proceeded on the strength of an evening Souwester, eastward for the night into the Deer Isle Thorofare or Merchant's Row through a maze of lobsterpots that shone brightly in the late afternoon sun. The Nevin Cup, August 8 & 9 - Day one of the Nevin Cup dawned clear and calm and many boats could be seen converging on the Eggemoggin Reach as they powered up from their overnight anchorages. The start was off at RW EE Bell at the eastern end of the Reach. From there we proceeded northwest up the Reach to Torrey Castle, thence, in a building souwester southeast we sailed into Jericho Bay to Egg Rock. From there Divisions 3 & 4 beat south to Southern Mark Island Ledge and Divisions 1 & 2 went several miles farther before turning back to RWEE Bell. The daily wind had built to 15-18 knots as we rounded to RWEE to head for the finish at Torrey Castle. It was a well planned race and all four classes were close together at the finish with the full fleet finishing within a few minutes of each other. Whiplash, the immaculate J-35 skippered by Ted Smith; Cybele, David Rockefeller, Jr. C2 and Rick Burnes' flashy red IMX 45 and Revolution, a Farr 43 owed by Ed Rogers competed smartly at the finish with Alan Joseph in his newly owned Hot Numbers, a red Taylor 42 but line honors went to Weather Gauge, a Farr 44 owned by Stockton Smith in Division 1, Otter, a Sabre 38 skippered by Henry Becton and Rusty Duym in Division 2, and Ariana, an Ohlson 42 skippered by Jeff Becton in Divisions 3&4 combined. The Fleet retired to Benjamin River for the night. Day 2 again brought light south westerly breezes that strengthened during the day. Starting at Torrey Castle, the fleet proceeded south through the reefs to Long Ledge Bell at the eastern end of the Deer Isle Thorofare with Divisions 1 and 2 going further south, thence northerly on a spinnaker leg through The Pond Island Passage in to Blue Hill Bay to finish between Bar and Trumpet Islands. Winds peaked at 20 knots at the finish with the smaller boats finishing first on their shorter course. Looking back from our posi- tion on Lara, a Hinckley 42, skippered by Charles Hoppin and Mike Chace, Division 1 & 2 paraded by in full cry. Reindeer, skippered by Newbold Smith treated us to a dramatic spinnaker blow out and smart reset at the fin- ish. The three J-42's, Merlin owned by Mark Cluett, Finesse owned by Newt Merrill and Eventyr owned by Gordon Haaland all finished neck and neck but line honors again went to Stockton Smith repeating a first place on Weather Gauge in Division1. Far Out, a custom Morris 52 skippered by Hal Kroeger put in an impressive performance for his first year in the regatta by winning Division 2 and Jeffrey Becton in Ariana, repeated his first in Divisions 3 & 4 combined. At the finish of the Nevin Cup the Fleet dispersed to various points in the Great Sound of Mount Desert. Lay Day Dinner and Awards, August 10 - Henry Brauer, Commodore and Hal Kroeger hosted a Lay Day dinner for 140 people The Northeast Harbor Fleet and prizes were given out for the first three days with much merri- ment. At this point we said "Thanks and goodbye," to Win Fowler, who with Ben Welles of the Kollegewidgwok Yacht Club provided us with such great courses and race management in the first three days and turned Committee Boat responsibilities over to Greg Wilkinson of the Northeast Harbor Fleet and its Committee Boat, the Shearwater. August Cruise, August 11-13 - With Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley to the south, it was decided to forego a planned race into Frenchman Bay and keep the August Cruise closer to home. For Day 1 Greg Wilkinson C3 set a nice windward leeward into a 5-10 knot southerly course that took us from Mount Desert Island out the Western Way south past Long Ledge Gong rounding Black Island to port. Divisions 1 & 2 went farther south and then we all turned north returning through the Western Way, finishing in the center of the great Sound of Mount Desert. Line honors went to Reindeer and Newbold Smith in Division 1. Division 2 honors went again to Hal Kroeger in Far Out and in Division 3 & 4 combined Jeff Becton picked up his third bullet of the series. Day 2 of the August Cruise saw us again starting on a long course from Northeast Harbor, heading south out the Western Way, this time leaving Black Island to starboard, thence proceeding northwesterly into Blue Hill bay to Ship and Barges Ledge Gong for Division 3 and 4 and Tinker Island for Divisions 1 & 2, thence southerly to finish at RW CP Bell at the eastern end of Casco Passage. Winds from the southwest built to 20-25 knots providing all with a spectacular rail down beat to the finish. In first place were Stockton Smith on Weather Gauge, Robert Johnstone on Tern and Ariana skippered by Jeff Becton taking her 4th win. With the remnants of Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley fast approaching, the fleet ducked in to the small natural harbor in the lee of Orono Island for the night. The winds built to 30 knots during the night and rose to 35kts., bringing torrential rains the next day. The Regatta Committee decided to cancel the final race on the advice of the Committee Boat. The fleet had an exciting dispersal to their home ports in increasingly lumpy chop and visibility of less than 1/4 mile. At the awards ceremony at the Northeast Harbor Fleet that afternoon, the consensus was that we had had a great series worthy of our 10th year.

Today, these ambitions are carried out by the Northeast Harbor Sailing School, a separate organization which operates on the grounds of the Northeast Harbor Fleet, using instructional watercraft owned by the Fleet. The Fleet in collaboration with the Sailing School offers a variety of racing and other sailing experiences for junior sailors. These events include experiences aboard the wide variety of boats owned by members of the Fleet. The Fleet and the Sailing School would like to thank all of the owners of the boats provided for the W. Barton Eddison Race, and say a special "thank you" as well to Charles Butt for the Rebecca visit, pictured below. Rebecca Visit Junior Sailors photos compliments of Malinda Crain 49 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, but the juniors are encouraged to execute the sail trimming, and are frequently encouraged to steer. 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 Commodore William Barton Eddison Trophy was given to The Northeast Harbor Fleet in 1983 by his children. 2004 W.
