Among the principal contenders were Pirate, William S. Grant, Jr., and Chief, Dr. George G. Hayward. Interest lagged after a time. In 1913, however, yacht racing once more aroused interest. In that year, a one-design class of 171/2-foot knockabouts was organized in Bar Harbor, and several of the yachts were owned in Seal Harbor and in North- east Harbor. Under the auspices of the then newly established Seal Harbor Yacht Club, races were held for the Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor yachts. The climax of the season was a race between these yachts and the Bar Harbor yachts off Seal Harbor. The race was won by Bird, Charles D. Dickey, Jr. In the spring of 1914, because of the keen interest in the preceding year, yachts were sought which would be suitable for racing at Northeast Harbor. Just at that time there were placed on the market several 17-foot yachts designed by Edwin A. Boardman and built by George Lawley and Son Corporation which belonged to a class which had been organized by the Eastern Yacht Club at Marblehead. Six of these yachts were purchased by residents of Northeast Harbor and vicinity. Daffydill, 17 Henry Parkman; Ino, Francis C. Grant and Edward W. Madeira; Atlanta, Ernest B. Dane, Jr.; Moslem III, William S. Grant, Jr.; Squaw, W. W. Rowse; and Kipper, Dr. Richard H. Harte. These yachts raced throughout the seasons of 1914 and 1915 and proved satisfactory in every way. In 1916 came the disturbance on the Mexican border, and in 1917 and 1918 the World War. Those most inter- ested in yacht racing at Northeast Harbor were in the service of the nation. In 1919, however, racing attracted new interest, and the races were conducted on a more formal scale than before. The Fleet increased in size in this year and in 1920. In 1921 the racing organization was perfected. Pre- viously the Fleet had raced boat for boat in one class. In this year three classes were organized: Class A, the Eastern Yacht Club 17-footers, eleven in number; Class B, the Bar Harbor - Manchester - Islesboro - North Haven 17 1/2-footers, six in number; and Class C, a composite class of all boats in the neighborhood of from 15 to 18 feet water line. Scores were computed for the first time and the prize pennants first awarded. In 1922 the miscellaneous class, Class C, was discon- tinued, as little interest had been shown in it. An inno- vation was the three-day cruise to Blue Hill Bay in which nine yachts took part. From this humble beginning, the cruise has grown to one of the most attractive features of the season. Further progress of the Fleet was evident in 1923, when the Fleet was formed into a yacht club under the name "The Northeast Harbor Fleet," and the Fleet burgee 18 adopted. Two new classes were added: Class o, the Northeast Harbor 15-footers, thirteen in number; and a new Class C, the Eliot-Manchester boats, three in number. The first cups were presented to the several winners at the end of the season. The following summer arrange- ments were completed for an annual series of races with the Tarratine Club of Dark Harbor, and the first races were held. In 1925 occurred the death of George Davenport Hay- ward, for many years the guiding spirit in yacht racing at Northeast Harbor. In his death the Fleet sustained a severe loss. As a memorial to him his friends generously presented the George Davenport Hayward Memorial Cup which was first sailed for in August, 1925. In that same year, under an agreement with the Seal Harbor Yacht Club, Class MDI was added to the racing classes. Because of the great increase in the size of the Fleet it became necessary to employ a full-time secretary in 1927, and in 1928 Fleet Headquarters were established on Main Street, to be kept open every week-day morning during the racing season by the secretary. All records were maintained there, Race Committee meetings held there, and race results posted. The 30 Square Meter Class was started in 1929, when Commodore Eddison and John Tyssowski imported boats from Sweden. The following season welcomed a new class of members, the junior members, and introduced the Bullseye Class for junior racing. A Fleet landing stage was established at the Clifton dock which enabled the Fleet to reciprocate in some measure for themeourtesy extended to its members by other yacht clubs. 19 The growth of the Fleet was very healthy. In 1930 there was a spirit of fine sportsmanship and keen com- petition, which it is the aim of the officers to promote and foster. The Fleet started a series of home and home races in the 30 Square Meter Class with the Corinthian Yacht Club of Marblehead, Massachusetts. Two boats of our Fleet were sent to Marblehead to compete in a series of five races, and were defeated by a score of 30 to 20 points. In 1931 the Fleet purchased the Sparrow for a Committee boat. Two new 30 Square Meter Class boats were added to the Fleet. The Corinthian Yacht Club sent three crews to Northeast Harbor to compete in our boats, which were drawn by lot. The point score of this series was 63 to 35, in favor of The Northeast Harbor Fleet. The July Cruise was established in 1932 and has be- come an annual fixture. The Lawrence Dickey Memorial team races between A and B classes were inaugurated in 1933. At the annual meeting in 1937 a committee was ap- pointed consisting of Mr. Eliot Wadsworth, Chairman; Mr. Spedden, and Mr. Eddison, to consider the question of a new class. The committee recommended the adop- tion of the International Class and in 1938 fourteen of these boats were ordered and built by Bjarne Aas of Fredrikstad, Norway. Mr. Eddison was appointed a committee of one to control the importation. Sparkman and Stephens acted as buyers' agent and the European inspection and acceptance was done by Veritas. The boats were shipped to Northeast Harbor on the Norwesgian motor ship Toronto, unloading off Bear Island in April, 1938. 20 During the past eight years Fleet affairs and activities have shown noteworthy progress. In 1941 the Fleet es- tablished Headquarters for the first time directly on the shore where for two years activities were conducted from an office located off Sea Street. The annual meeting of 1941 approved a plan to establish a Junior Sailing Instruction Class. Put into effect in the summer of 1942 this class has flourished beyond expectation to become one of the major interests of the Fleet. An opportunity arose in 1943 to acquire the use of the Rock End Dock facilities for Fleet Headquarters and a special committee headed by Commodore Haskell raised the necessary funds to purchase the dock, and adjoining shore front property, thereby permitting the Fleet to enjoy its first permanent base of operations. This project has been developed each year culminating in the erection during 1946 of a new Fleet Headquarters building, made possible by the devoted interest in Fleet affairs of Mr. Harry G. Haskell and Mr. Harry G. Haskell, Jr. In 1946 a new class of yachts was added to the regularly established racing classes of the Fleet largely through the efforts of Mr. James G. Ducey. Twenty-two Luders 16's took part in the races for the first time in Northeast Harbor waters. The healthy position of the Fleet before World War II provided a sound basis of operation, so that the zealous devotion of those members able to be at Northeast for periods of time during the war, successfully carried the Fleet through these critical years. Unwilling to allow his keen interest in the Fleet to wane, Mr. Harry G. Haskell has gone forward with the 21 Fleet to complete his building project. Through his con- tinued support during 1947 and 1948, funds have been made available for landscaping the Fleet property at Rock End Dock. Through the generosity of Mr. Haskell and many of the members of the Fleet, it was possible over a two year period, to replace entirely the pier construction of the Rock End Dock. Friends of Mr. Vance C. McCormick have erected a flag pole on the Fleet property in memory of Mr. McCormick's untiring devotion to the Fleet. During the summer of 1948 the Fleet was incorporated thereby permitting it to acquire the physical property which had been held by three trustees for several years. 22 COMMODORE'S REPORT Another remarkably fine summer for sailing was enjoyed by the Fleet this past season. One race was cancelled in August by the Race Committee, because of too much wind, and two races did not finish, running over the time allow- ance for the courses. A check of the past five years has shown, that we have only lost one-half race per series due to this cause, but the Race Committee are considering a change in the allowances for the coming season which will better balance the time for the different classes. Two new floats were built and put in service this year, to replace the ones borrowed in previous years. These were financed by the contributions of 80 members who con- tributed $3615.00 for their construction. A southeast storm in August damaged our oldest log float on the southern end of our string. This will have to be replaced this year. Mr. Alex C. Yarnall has kindly consented to let us use his second. float to replace our worn-out float adjacent to the present log float. With these additions our pier, bridges and floats will all be in top condition, and should be good for many years. The Clifton Dock Corporation of whose stock the Fleet owns about eighty-five per cent, has purchased a new boat to be used as a "committee boat" by the Fleet. This boat has sleeping accommodations for two and a toilet. The boat is of heavy construction and should be good for many years service. The sailing class was run most successfully by Mr. Philip Cole. A regular set of series races were sailed by members 23 of the sailing class, with their own race committee hand- ling protests. Prizes were awarded the winners for each series. The enthusiastic support of this class has been very encouraging. The Fleet Headquarters have been kept in excellent con- dition under the direction of our chairman, Mrs. C. Brad- ford Fraley. Early in the summer, our Vance C. McCormick flagpole fell over while changes were being made in the rigging. One of our members, Mr. Henry Hinckly, took the pole to his yard, and repaired it for us free of charge. This was greatly appreciated. Our new Secretary, Mr. Edmund L. Coombs, ably assisted by Mr. Philip M. Caughey ran our races in a very efficient manner. Many interesting protests were exceptionally well handled by an able Race Committee. The new scale of penalties, instead of the old disqualification, seems to have met with the approval of the members. Any report of the season's activities, would be incom- plete without an expression of appreciation to the officers and members for their whole hearted cooperation and sup- port in the problems confronting the Fleet from time to time.

NOTE 2: Title to real estate, pier, dock, headquarters building used by the Fleet and located at Gilpatrick's Cove, Northeast Harbor, Maine, was formerly vested in Harry G. Haskell, Jarvis Cromwell, P. Blair Lee, Trustees under declaration of trust dated August 3, 1944 and title to this property was conveyed to The Northeast Harbor Fleet by these trustees under date of August 23, 1948. NOTE 3: 645 shares of capital stock of the Clifton Dock Corporation are owned by the Northeast Harbor Fleet, representing 84% of the out- standing stock of this Corporation. The audited financial statement of this Corporation showed an operating loss for the year 1949, before depreciation, of $441.19. This compares, on a similar basis, with a profit in the year 1948 of $716.20. The operating loss of this Corpora- tion in the year 1949 resulted largely from reduced volume of sales, increased cost of sales and operating expenses which included a large repair job on the Work Boat. NOTE 4: $2,500.00 note due from the Clifton Dock Corporation represents a loan made to enable this Corporation to purchase a new Work Boat, as it was felt the expenses of repairs and maintenance were getting too high. The new boat will serve as an adequate Committee Boat and be available for cruises, in addition to taking over some other duties of the old Work Boat. 26 THE NORTHEAST HARBOR FLEET STATEMENT OF CASH RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS Years Ended December 31, 1949 and 1948 CHECKING ACCOUNT Year 1949 Year 1948 ORDINARY RECEIPTS: Initiation fees $ 295.00 $ 395.00 Annual dues 3,945.00 3,876.00 Racing fees 3,310.00 3,090.75 Cruise fees 777.00 762.00 Dock charges 700.00 810.00 Sailing class fees 2,409.00 2,038.50 Charts and instructions 91.00 66.00 Landing charges, launch space 250.00 350.00 Ship shape service, lunches 215.00 236.50 Miscellaneous 63.04 100.31 Total Ordinary Receipts $12,055.04 $11,725.06 ORDINARY EXPENSES: Salaries $ 4,090.20 $ 3,520.50 Printing 883.84 975.27 Equipment, floats 401.48 879.68 Office supplies, postage expense 519.94 322.63 Telephone and telegraph 231.78 192.17 Insurance 687.49 620.88 Pennants and flags 115.58 9.10 Trophies 100.70 243.95 Water rent 18.00 18.00 Rent of launches 1,000.00 1,090.00 Taxes, Town of Mt.

Receipts recorded in the cash book for the year were found to be deposited in the bank account. Dues, fees and other receipts due from members as shown by members' ledger accounts were found to be recorded in the cash book. Disbursements for the year were made by the Bar Harbor Banking and Trust Company, Agent, and were re- corded in the cash disbursement records. The balance of cash in checking and savings accounts at the Bar Harbor Banking and Trust Company, Maine and in the Vance McCormack Memorial Flag Pole Account at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania were verified by correspondence with these banks at December 31, 1949. The balance in the petty cash account at December 31, 1949 was verified. In our opinion, the accompanying statement of cash receipts and disbursements presents fairly the operations of The Northeast Harbor Fleet for the year ended December 31, 1949 and the balances of its bank accounts at that date. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Robert, Finnegan & Lynah Certified Public Accountants, Boston, Massachusetts 30 REPORT OF THE SAILING MASTER Although the sailing master arrived in Northeast Har- bor a few days before the classes were to begin, a total stranger; he was soon relieved of many of his natural qualms by the friendly reception accorded at every hand. He could not help but be impressed by the kind and co- operative attitude of the members and staff of the Fleet. With their help, all arrangements for physical equipment and organization of the class were completed well before the opening of the class on July 5. This year the class was divided into three "watches," Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced. To do this, each member was automatically placed in the Primary Watch and was encouraged to pass a test which would qualify him for a more advanced watch. By doing this it was possible to control the instruction much more satisfactorily and to give the members every incentive to progress, and older more experienced members were not forced to hang back with the newcomerss. To accompany this new or- ganization was a weekly schedule which was published in the Fleet House and followed as scrupulously as the weather would permit. The time and effort required to prepare these schedules were more than repaid by a smoother running class and greater variety of activity, for both instructors and pupils. On the opening day July 5th, 17 members were enrolled and the class got off to a promising start. As each week passed the enrollment grew to a weekly high of 48 for the week of August the 8th. It is just as well that the class became no larger because it is doubtful if the physical 32 equipment would be adequate or if three instructors could cope with a greater number. We found that we could handle this number very well except on foul days. At present there is not enough equipment an hand to occupy such a large group. The average enrollment for July was 28 and for August was 47. Of this group 37 passed their primary test qualifying them for sailing instruction and five passed the intermediate test which qualified them as racing skippers. It is difficult to comment on the progress of the class without some previous experience in the prob- lems that this one had to face but all of the sailing in- structors were fairly well satisfied with the results of this summer's work. The equipment that the class has at its disposal is ex- cellent in almost all respects. The generosity of the mem- bers in providing their boats and in some instances their services made it possible for the sailing masters to keep the interest of the class and give actual sailing instruction to such a large group. All but one of the Bullseyes that were anchored at Rock End were at the disposal of the class and on several occasions Mr. Kinney allowed us to use his Luders, Mrs. Iglehart, her International, and Bishop Peabody his "A" boat. Why I said that the equipment was excellent in almost all respects was that some additional equipment is needed for foul weather days. Such items as a few Table top games, specifically, Regatta, a Parker Brothers game, and a good blackboard would make it much easier to occupy the class for the entire morning. As far as boats are concerned it is hoped that next year the small gig will be in a seaworthy condition and can be rigged as a spare committee boat for the use of the sailing class on 33 the days when the regular boat is away. With the limited number of advisors it is imperative that a power boat be available for the class when sailing instruction is being given. The class could not have been nearly as successful as it was had we not had the support of some of the junior members of the fleet. Notable among these helpers were Tommy Bass, Sandy Luke and the Newlins. No instructor could have asked for more faithful assistants. Mike Pea- body and John Smallidge rounded out our team and drove ignorance before them on the wind. Following the advice of my predecessors I inaugurated a regular series of races over the Fleet course. Consid- ering the organizational problems we were very successful with the races. A prize was graciously donated by Mrs. Steedman and went to our winning skipper, Hugh Scott. It is hoped that some kind of permanent trophy will be established for this series. By this series of races and the proper organization of the class it is hoped that more of the older members of the Fleet will be encouraged to par- ticipate in the class, one way or another. The private instruction was handled in much the same manner as before and the sailing master was able to handle all instruction that was requested. In closing I would like to thank all of the members of the Fleet staff, Mr. Coombs, Mr. Caughey and Miss Doyle for their kind assistance and advice which made it possible for a total stranger to take over. Respectfully submitted, PHILIP COLE, JR., Sailing Master 34 REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE RACE COMMITTEE 1949 The 1949 Racing Season commenced this year with the Annual Independence Day Regatta, an event which has now become a permanent fixture in the schedule. As is usual for the beginning of the season, a small turnout re- sulted. The Regatta consisted of a morning and afternoon race, with a picnic lunch on the grounds of Commodore and Mrs. Hermann Hessenbruch on Sutton's Island. Unusually good weather favored the July Series this year, with all scheduled races being sailed. A small in- crease in the overall number of boats participating in the Series brought the total to 52. This year the July Cruise sailed to Bar Harbor on the first day and returned to Northeast Harbor on the third. On the second day, the Fleet again participated in the Annual Bar Harbor Regatta in Frenchman's Bay. A morn- ing and afternoon race again made up the program, and all crews and skippers were entertained at lunch through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chaplin at their place in Hull's Cove. The 1949 August Series was handicapped by the fact that two races were lost through the expiration of the time limit, and a third was cancelled because of excessively heavy winds, thus reducing considerably the number of races counting for credit. A total of 66 boats competed in the Series. The George Davenport Hayward Memorial Cup Race was held this year on August 15th under the ideal conditions 35 of a moderate Southwest breeze. A total of 59 boats crossed the starting line, which is six less than last year. After the Race, the Fleet was entertained at tea through the generosity of Commodore and Mrs. Hessenbruch at Fleet Headquarters. The Annual August Cruise again spent both nights in Pretty Marsh Harbor. On the second day, the one-design classes sailed to Blue Hill for lunch and returned to Pretty Marsh in the afternoon, while the Cruising Class sailed an all day race. A goodly number of boats participated in the Cruise, and the weather was good. The Cruising Class was held again this year, albeit with fairly discouraging results. Although the plans of the Cruise had been published in the June edition of "Yachting" and all yacht clubs east of Cape Cod had been invited to participate by the Race Committee, only four boats, three of which were from the Mount Desert Area, crossed the starting line on the first day. The Cruise sailed to North Haven on the first day, where, on the second day, all hands joined in the North Haven Yacht Club's Annual Cruising Class Race. On the third day, the Cruise returned to Northeast Harbor in a thirty-five mile an hour Northwest breeze. North Haven has extended an invitation to the Fleet to return next year for the same event, and it is hoped that there will be a better turnout at that time. On August 11th, the Fleet sponsored team races with Blue Hill, Bar Harbor, and Somesville. These races were sailed in Luders L-16's, and were a great success. In the future, it is to be hoped that events of this kind will be encouraged, as they provide mutual benefit and competi- 36 tion among all the yacht clubs in the area. Plans are already going forward for a team race in Somesville at which the Mount Desert Yacht Club will be host for the next season. There were two innovations this season of a technical nature, involving Northeast Harbor Revisions of the N.A.Y.R.U. rules. The first of these involved the substi- tution of a percentage penalty instead of complete dis- qualification for the infringement of the Right-Of-Way rules. The penalty amounts to 50% of the points to which a yacht would have been entitled had she not broken the rule. The second of these changes was the institution of the Worst Race Exemption rule. Under this rule, a yacht must discount one race in a given series to arrive at her total, providing she had sailed every race. This rule pro- vides a benefit for a skipper starting in every race who had had one bad one as well as for skippers who, for one reason or another, had been compelled to miss one race. Sailing this past summer has been very successful in spite of the fact that the total number of boats competing has fallen slightly from the peak years of 1946, '47, and '48. These years, however, were abnormally good, and conditions have gradually returned to normal - with a substantial increase in the turnout from pre-War summers. Respectfully submitted, HARRY R.
