> HOSPICE REGATTA - Mount Desert Island, Maine
> 
> An increasingly popular sailing event on Mount Desert Island is the now
> annual Hospice Regatta. For the first time, the Southwest Harbor Luders
> fleet was invited to participate. As in past years, the Northeast Harbor
> International One-Designed competed - counting their regular Saturday race
> day as an event in the regatta. On Sunday, a special day-long ocean race
> is held for cruising boats. A lobster bake and dance are included in the
> festivities as boat rides about the Great Harbor to watch the races. 
> 
> As the Luders fleet had scheduled two races - one a make-up from an
> earlier postponed race - both counted as Hospice events. On this day,
> Friday, July 15th, some 9 Luders showed at the SWH Fleet (yacht club)
> line. The Tempests and Bullseyes also started, but lacked the imprimatur
> of a Hospice event.  A lovely day it was, clear and sunny, characterized
> by light northwest winds gently blowing down Somes Sound to the north.  
> 
> This day's start was held off the southeastern tip of Greening Island.
> Occasionally, the line is moved north to Norwood's Cove, just west of
> narrow - and breathtaking - entrance to Somes Sound. Red Hot, formerly a
> Chicago Luders, made its debut with its new owner, Arthur Davis, of Bar
> Harbor. David Schoeder, the previous owner, has moved on to the
> International One-Designs. However, his wooden Luders, an Ohio, import of
> several years ago, is undergoing rebuilding  by Jim Elks and is reported
> destined for a September launching. This boat has been renamed NORTH,
> related, perhaps, to his International DAKOTA.

> At the post-race tea party, Commodore Towers introduced Lawrence Demilner,
> new owner of Mississippi #333, who has joined the SWH Luders fleet.
> Demilner is also spear-heading the revival of the Frenchmans Bay Luders
> fleet and keeps another Luders there. The day's race results for the three
> racing classes was read by the chair of the Race Committee. An official
> from the Hospice Regatta committee was introduced. Tom Rolfes, MDI Luders
> vice Fleet Captain, presented a generous check to the Hospice campaign on
> behalf of the Luders fleet and a generous owner. A small pewter cup was
> presented to the winning Luders Hospice skipper, Sturgis Haskins.  Hospice
> organizer, Lili Pew, was also on hand. Like all SWH post-race tea parties,
> the occasion was pleasant and chatty. Volunteers were sort for future
> after-race tea party hosts and the summer's roster quickly filled. All are
> held in member's homes.
