</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A query from an Island resident has recently been received for a glass Luders. We have exhausted our supply.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Does anyone have any leads on any for sale? This would be an especially good home.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Our two local fleets have imported new boats from the Great Lakes (2), Mississippi, and California this past year. Very recently, we have been notified that a wooden one has been acquired for spring delivery.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There are now 25 Luders owned on Mount Desert Island and 5 nearby on Frenchman's Bay. This coming summer - 2006 - will likely see 60th anniversary activities for the two fleets. In 1946 both the Northeast Harbor Fleet and the Bar Harbor Yacht Club bought new boats. Luders racing continued into the 1970s. After a hiatus, class racing was revived four summers ago under the auspices of the Southwest Harbor Fleet and the Sorrento Yacht Club. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Grateful for any leads on available Luders.</FONT>
