size=2>Mount Desert Island's final race each season is held on the Columbus Day
weekend. Begun originally by International One-Design racers as a bit of a hoot,
in recent years Luders 16 sailors have been invited to participate, too. This is
the first year Luders have outnumbered their larger counterparts, the IOD's.
Rather cleverly, the Homer brothers, who run the races, decided that the Luders
and IOD ought also compete against each other. This worked out so beautifully
that it will likely be repeated in later years.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>In previous years, the IOD skippers competed for a porcelain
troll - given originally by the well-meaning Norwegian representatives
when the Northeast Harbor Fleet hosted that class's World Championship. Too
dreadful to display, the recipients, their hosts, hid the troll until
inspiration led him to donate it as the winning trollphy for the Columbus Day
event. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

IOD and Luders) presented a Luders cup; this being a perpetually smiling supine
bovine as equally appalling as the troll. Some thought this generosity was
highly suspect.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>This Columbus Day event is governed by several interesting rules. Boats
are supposed to use old sails, but this aspect is not wholly enforced. On
downwind legs, the leading boat is prohibited from flying a spinnaker.
Competitors are welcome to, but must quickly lower them when they assume the
lead - as inevitable. In closely matched races, when the lead frequently
changes, there is much up and down activity.. Spinnakers tend to fly up
much quicker than they are lowered - prompting consternation and
loudness among rivals.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Everyone, the 2006 Trollphy has now entered into the rolls of
history. We had perfect weather, and eight boats (3 IOD's and 5
L-16s). The results are attached. We raced under a handicap system
devised by Dick Homer, with the Luders starting first in a pursuit race
format. The handicap was so perfectly devised that in race 1 Mischief beat
Red Hot by a second, and in race 2 Red Hot beat Mischief by a second!
Awards and general jollity ensued. We are still undecided if the fact that
the Trollphy itself is missing in action contributed or detracted from the
evening ... Thank you to all participants and contributors!</DIV>

Committee</DIV></DIV></SPAN></FONT>
