</P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">A 27 foot Luders sailboat owned by Elliot Cohen was totaled last Friday night by three joy riders cruising in the water near Gilpatrick's Cove in Northeast Harbor.</FONT></B></P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Powered with 145 HSP, a 20 foot Boston Whaler rammed into the port side of the stern and sank the boat. Only the mast showed above water Saturday morning.</FONT></B></P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When the vessel was raised Sunday it was discovered that an 8-foot section had been taken off the boat, the keel was split and the boat was twisted out of shape.</FONT></B></P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Marine Patrol Officer for the Department of Marine Resources, William Pinkham, said the investigation was concluded Monday. A 17 year old boy was summoned to appear in court in Bar harbor August 8, for Operating to Endanger and restitution.</FONT></B></P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Originally constructed in 1947, the Cohen's Luders was completely rebuilt by Ralph Stanley less than two weeks ago. The Cohen's are summer residents of Northeast Harbor and make their winter home in East Brunswick, NJ.</FONT></B></P>

<BR><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Clipping courtesy of S. Rockefeller who's family had previously owned this Luders ( ELUDER, Northeast Harbor #15). The boat was subsequently broken up. The Cohen's later bought another Luders (NEH #27)- this exhibited when new in the New York Boat Show -it had inlaid teak decks. </FONT></B></P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This news article was accompanied by a photo of ELUDER as it was raised above the surface - damage is clear. (The photographer is deceased, by the way, and the BHT does not keep photos. I checked!)</FONT></B></P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Someone who had seen the boat reported that it was restorable, but no one wanted to undertake it. Builder Ralph Stanley is best known for his wooden Friendship sloops (& received a Presidential award a few years ago.)</FONT></B></P>
