The Symposium is an annual event organized by U.S. Sailing that brings together people from all over the country who are interested in the benefits of teaching children how to sail. A broad array of topics was covered in a lively manner over the course of 31/2 days. It was a great opportunity to learn new ideas and share experiences with sailors representing clubs that run the gamut from small community sailing associations operating out of someone's home to very large and fancy clubs with guards at the gate. The host of the symposium, the Houston Yacht Club, was one of the latter. What all these people and clubs shared was a very strong belief in junior sailing. No one thought sailing was easy to teach, or that junior programs didn't cause themselves or their clubs a variety of headaches. But we all agreed that it was hard to think of an activity that brings joy for a lifetime, teaches and demands responsibility, and allows girls and boys to compete as equals any better than sailing does. While the Northeast Harbor Fleet has always believed strongly in the importance of teaching sailing to our children, junior sailing was quite new to many of the yacht clubs represented in Houston. And it was very much an afterthought for these clubs in terms of budget dollars and prestige. I think we've had our priorities right for a long time. The Fleet has one of the largest and best equipped junior programs in the nation, and we should all be very proud of that. What we don't have is enough time with the children. When I was the Executive Secretary 15 years ago we had more time because the kids were in Northeast Harbor longer, or at least that is my recollection. Now we have many children who come to sailing class for only a week or two. They may come summer after summer, but they spend half their time relearning what they learned the year before and only make a little progress. Then they get to be 12 or 14, and many get discouraged that after all of those summers in sailing class they still don't really know what they are doing. So they quit and try something easy, like golf, or tennis, or sitting by the pool. I'm sure you'd like me to tell you now that you all have to take longer vacations in Northeast Harbor with your children SO that they can spend more time learning how to sail, and that I've made it possible for you. Sorry. But what the Junior Sailing Committee has been working on is a consistent curriculum that has discrete building blocks, if you will. So that when your child comes to class for the first time each summer, even though the instructor may be new, the 15 curriculum is not. And your child will know, and we'll have the records to remind her, what skills she had mastered and what the next ones were that she needed to learn. The new curriculum, when fully implemented, should permit us to use your child's time more productively. If it succeeds, we'll have more kids out racing, and a better and stronger Fleet. Our children have less time for sailing class because many of us have less time for Maine vacations. What used to be the yacht club of a summer resort is now a club that draws many of its most active and enthusiastic racers from the year-round community. And many of us who used to be called summer residents are now better described as summer visitors. These changes are forcing the Fleet to adapt in ways that go beyond the Junior Program. Last summer we experimented, successfully, with the schedule of the August Cruise SO that we could attract cruising boats from Blue Hill, Deer Isle and points beyond to join our diminished number of cruiser-racers. Next summer we are going to schedule more of our special races - the Seaman's, the W. Barton Eddison, etc. - on Sundays SO that those who can't race during the week will have the opportunity to participate. (Last summer we were forced to reschedule the July single-handed race because no one showed up on the Thursday it was originally planned for.) In recent years we've tried adding an awards ceremony at the end of July to accommodate those who wouldn't be around for the Annual Meeting in late August. That was a good idea whose time has yet to come, judging by the attendance. The Fleet has to keep changing to meet the changing needs of its members. But we have a very special club and we have to be careful to preserve those qualities that make it special. The Houston Yacht Club was very grand, and it had a beautiful pool and an elegant dining room, but it didn't have the soul the Fleet has. It was too formal and sterile. But it does fill a larger social role than the Fleet does, and demands may grow in the future for the Fleet to offer more than post-race teas that end at five o'clock. It is for reasons such as these that we have in recent years institutionalized a long-range planning function in the management of the club. By carefully thinking about the future of the club we can make reasoned decisions. I encourage all of you to participate in this effort by sharing your ideas and concerns with the flag officers, or other members of the Long-Range Planning Committee. The Northeast Harbor Fleet celebrated (quietly) its 70th anniversary last summer. No club can reach a major milestone like that without the love and dedication of many people. My sincere thanks go out to all of the staff who worked SO hard to teach our children and run our races. My thanks go, too, to all of you who volunteered SO much time and talent to the Fleet. (Please take a moment to look at the long list of volunteers on page 20 who served 16 on committees, and otherwise helped all of us.) In particular, I'd like to thank Fred Towers for serving as Chairman of the Race Committee for SO many years, and Wayne Wibby for his many years of service on the Executive Committee. I'd also like to give special thanks to John Torgersen, who served as our Executive Secretary last summer. John worked hard and didn't always get the credit he deserved. Management problems that the Fleet has had to a certain extent since Phil Caughey retired came to a head last summer. We did a poor record-keeping job and our revenues suffered as a result. In response to these difficulties, Vice Commodore Chace led a thorough review of our management organization this fall with the help of Debby Lash, myself and others. Because of this review, the job description of the Executive Secretary has been rewritten. Many of the record-keeping and communication responsibilities that used to be part of that job will be shifted to a new Administrative Secretary. Our goal is to make it far easier for all of you to deal with the Fleet. Next September, after most of the usual activities of the Fleet have ended, the Fleet will again play host to the International One- Design Class World Championship. It is an honor for us to do so, and a testament to the continued strength of a class that I thought was on its last legs when I was Executive Secretary. Even though the regatta won't be until September, there is a lot that we can all do to help prepare for it. Please help Sydney Rockefeller and the other organizers of the event if they call upon you. Let's put on a good show for our guests! Having pitched the IOD class, I now want to put in a strong plea in behalf of our other racing classes. While the IOD class has strengthened over the past 15 years, our other classes have weakened. The Fleet will be stronger overall, and better able to attract new skippers and crews, if we have a more versatile and less expensive boat to complement the IOD's. For many years the J/24 filled that role, and it is possible that it will continue to do SO. Introducing a new class is not an easy thing to do, as former Soling sailors can attest. No one boat will completely satisfy everyone. But after reviewing a variety of boats the consensus supports the J/22 as the best design for the job - it is less expensive, easier to sail and requires a smaller crew than the 24 - and there is already a nucleus of a strong new class out racing. Five J/22's sailed in the Labor Day series. Thanks to the generosity of several J/22 owners our more experienced junior sailors will get the opportunity to sail these boats this summer. I hope these young sailors and their families will go on to become regular participants in the class. We need another strong one-design fleet to bridge the gap between the Mercuries and the Internationals. 17 Finally, as the snow piles up and the ice dam on my roof grows, I can't think back on last summer and the Fleet without sadness. Polly McIlhenny, my mother, died unexpectedly in late October shortly after I returned from Houston. She epitomized for me, and I think for many others, much of what the Northeast Harbor Fleet is all about. She loved to sail and race, and did SO almost every summer of her life; she took a very genuine pleasure in teaching youngsters how to sail and took pride in their success; and she was always interested in the life of the Fleet: the friends she'd see at teas, the new sailing instructors each year, the policies and politics. The Northeast Harbor Fleet was always very important for her. I know she will miss the Fleet, and I think the Fleet will miss her. I have taken the liberty of dedicating this annual report to her memory. Sincerely, Alan McIlhenny, Jr. January 1994 IODs in Nortbeast Harbor. Stephenson photo 18 1993 STAFF MEMBERS John G.

Box 543 Ellsworth, Maine 04605 Independent Auditor's Report December 20, 1993 To the Executive Committee of The Northeast Harbor Fleet Northeast Harbor, Maine We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities, and fund balances of the Northeast Harbor Fleet as of September 30, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of revenue, expenses, and changes in fund balances and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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.
