YACHT CLUB A GEORGE DUNCAN Secretary Treasurer, NAT GLADDING Commodore, SETH FENNER Vice-Commodore, DOUG SHORE Fleet Captain. The Yacht Club has been very active during the past season. Starting in the spring, club members began the annual overhaul and repair of the 35' sloop aDianai' and the 38' cutter Clio. Being fiberglass, the three Gannet class dinghies did not need much work. But much time and many weekends were given up by members of the club to ready the fleet for the summer sailing season. Some of the races entered by the club are: Monhegan Race, the Retired Skippers Race, and the North Haven Ocean Race. When the Marblehead to Halifax race comes up this summer Clio', and Diana will be entered, as they have in the past years. The dinghies were sailed throughout the season by Midshipmen with sailing ex- perience. At the end of the season an intramural competition was established by Capt. Kennaday, one of our most ardent supporters. The Gannets were also sailed in intercollegiate races held at Colby. Needless to say MMA came out on top. After the season ended, a banquet was held at the Jed Prouty where awards were given and plans for the future were formulated. The club is an actively growing organization and the future looks bright. 41
