Northeast Harbor Race

On August 27th sailors will depart Portland from Maine Yacht Center in the 3rd Northeast Harbor Race. They will be sailing east towards Penobscot Bay and Mt. Desert Island. Friday's sunset will fade behind them as a full moon illuminates the night. Matinicus will appear on the horizon thru the sunrise as they head to the finish of this 100 mile odyssey. Breakfast on Sunday is held at the Kimball Terrace Inn with crews sharing stories of whales and shooting stars.

This race is a great jaunt for cruisers and racers alike. Take a week or two and cruise from MDI, exploring some of the amazing harbors and coves on the coast of Maine. Use this race as a quick start to a cruise or as a finale in the Gulf of Maine summer racing series.

Cruising, Racing, Double-handed and Multihull classes expected. Sign up by August 20 to avoid a late fee.
