TERN WINS DOWNEAST RACEWEEK XV
Aug 7-9 - After the three most beautiful days of the summer racing on scenic Blue Hill and Jericho Bays in a record fleet of 26 boats, Northeast Harbor Fleet Commodore, Bob Johnstone sailing his J/100 TERN with finishes of 5,3,1 was declared overall winner to earn “The Max” Warburg Trophy, the Morris Trophy for Division II, the Paul Nevin Memorial Trophy for the best cumulative corrected time in fleet on Saturday and Sunday, and the Arundel Plate for Division II in the August Cruise.
Second overall for the Harry Wilmerding Tray was Marcus Heilner, in his Center Harbor 50 Hoi-An from the Kollegewidgwok Yacht Club (KYC). Third overall was Jeffrey Becton in Ariana, his classic Ohlson 41 yawl, winning the Michael Crofoot Trophy for Division III, the Constance Madeira Trophy, and the Arthur F. Chace, Jr. Trophy.
The Kollegewidgwok Yacht Club team of cruising class boats (Hoi-An, Otter, and Ariana won the Yacht Club Challenge Trophy. KYC’s Atlantic Class won the first ever shoot-out against the Northeast Harbor Fleet’s International One-Designs. The top boat for KYC was Andrew Baldwin’s Red Fish. Top International for the Thomas S. Gates Trophy on Saturday was Dave Folger in Tundra. Sydney Roberts-Rockefeller won the August Cruise Series for the Edsel B. Ford Bowl.
RACE I of 17.2 miles on Friday, started at Ship & Barges Ledge in Blue Hill Bay then headed downwind in light air and a strong ebb tide to Bass Harbor. By heading across to MDI, David Rockefeller and Rick Burnes led the fleet. Just after most boats rounded the Bass Harbor C1, a strong line squall hit with 40 knots of wind, ripping jibs, forcing boats to sail under mainsail alone and causing general havoc. The boats struggled upwind to Pond Island Passage then to the finish in Pretty Marsh, where they rafted up for a beautiful evening of camaraderie. Hal Kroeger’s Morris 52 Far Out was the overall winner of this race, and, by taking a 5th in the final race, won the Lewis K. Cherot Memorial Trophy for the best two race score in Division 1.
RACE 2 of 19.5 miles started in Pretty Marsh in a good northwesterly which gradually shifted into the west. The race was throughout the Casco Passage down Jericho Bay and then a beat back into Southeast Harbor. The smaller boats had their day with Ariana, Otter, and Tern finishing in the money.
RACE 3 Going into the last day, there were 3 boats tied with 8 points (Hoi-An, Far Out and Tern) with Ariana sitting with nine points and a win. So, the winner of this last race would take it all. The race was 20.2 miles out of Southeast Harbor, up past Green Island and Pond Island Passage, around Folly Island south of Pretty March then to the finish at Ship & Barges. Tern got off the starting line with the big boats then fell into a hole, allowing Otter and Breakaway to move out into a 1 mile lead just behind Hoi-An, Cybele and Barra. Eventually, Tern closed the gap with a building southerly, then played the western shore and slipped in behind Hoi-An to share the lead... which they did, finishing 3rd, boat for boat, behind Hoi-An and Cybele, to save their time, win the day and the overall trophy.
