Northeast Harbor Race

[Tim R.]

I and some friends at our yacht club are organizing the 3rd annual Northeast Harbor Race. It is an overnight race from Portland to Northeast Harbor on Mount Desert Island(Acadia). It starts on Friday, August 27th. Boats usually finish Saturday afternoon. We have nearly a full moon and we always see lots of wildlife. Cocktails at the finish and brunch/awards ceremony in NE Harbor on Sunday.

This is a really fun race. Most boats enter the race to get downeast quick and then take a week or 2 cruising home. I hope to have my new boat by then and sail the race but if not I will be crewing on another boat.

Or you can send me a private message via SBO.

anyone want a crew member for this? I may be able to make the race, but I couldn't get my boat up there to do the race.

We got it Gail. I emailed Barney and he said they are 70/30 but will know more after this weekend's Monhegan race.

We will have just one weekend under our belts with the new boat or else we would also DH. We do have an Asym so racing class will be good. Although likely no chance of placing. It's more about the journey, right?
