2024 Summer Events in Castine

Fourth of july celebration .

2024 Bastille Day

Under the elms, by the sea, people all dressed in white SUNDAY, JULY 14, 2024

Castine has a unique tie to French culture—in fact, the town originated as a French outpost. The French first came in 1635 to build Fort Pentagöet. Though the land has changed hands many times, we still celebrate our French heritage each year.

In the morning, beginning at 10:00am, Dyce Head Lighthouse will be open for tours of our iconic tower by the sea. The Castine Historical Society will give a walking tour of our village, beginning on the Town Common at 1:00pm and end an hour later at Fort Pentagoet. From there, walk across to the Wilson Museum campus, bring your children to Make and Take historical crafts, and then enjoy a French vanilla ice cream bar.

At our signature event, the Picnic en Blanc, 400 white-clad festival goers will be seated at long white tables at 5:30pm, under the elms on Court Street. Bring your own French picnic, or pre-order a basket from the Pentagoet Inn, while supplies last. Finish out the night with French-themed cocktails at the Pentagöet pub, until 10pm. For more information on the day’s events or to make your reservation for the Picnic en Blanc, call Town Hall @ 207-326-4502.

Note: Court Street, from Main to Green will be closed for both traffic and parking from 12 noon until 9 PM on the 14 th of July for Castine’s celebration of Bastille Day.

Marilee Takes Castine Classic Race

Castine celebrates maine builders.

Castine, Me. — Marilee, a 49’ Herreshoff NY-40 built in 1925 sailed by Andrew Parente, led the fleet in the nineteenth annual Castine Classic Yacht Race to Camden sponsored by the Castine Yacht Club.

The Castine event kicked off three days of classic boat racing, culminating in the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta.

Under clear skies and a brisk southwest breeze, the thirty-six boat fleet set sail from the Castine harbor bell on a 19.6nm course ending off Curtis island in Camden. Sailing in Classic A class, Marilee beat by almost four minutes Sonny, a 53’ Sparkman & Stephens sloop sailed by Laurel Gaudet. The Blue Peter, a 65’ Milne designed sloop built in 1930 sailed by Mathew Barker, took third place.

The Classic B fleet was led by Leaf, a 38’ Luders 24 built in 1946 sailed by Chris Bouzaid, followed by Palawan, a 48’ S&S sloop built in 1952 sailed by Scott Gazelle, and Otter, a 41’ Concordia built in 1954 sailed by Robert Keefer.

The Classic C fleet struggled with a dying breeze late in the day, with 30’ Atlantic class Silverfish, sailed by JB Turner, crossing the line first.

In the Spirit of Tradition class, Blackfish, a 49’ Brooklin Boatyard/Jim Taylor sloop launched in 2017 sailed by Ron Zarella, took honors, besting Anna, a newly launched 65’ sloop built by Lyman-Morse sailed by Anthony Merck. Isobel, a 69’ sloop sailed by Richard Schotte, took third place.

The race was preceded by a a Symposium chaired by famed sailor, author and yachting commentator Gary Jobson, celebrating Maine sailboat builders, including Brooklin Boatyard, Rockport Marine, Lyman-Morse, French & Webb, and Artisan Boatworks. At the conclusion of the Symposium before a large crowd at the Maine Maritime Academy, event Chairman David Bicks commented that “the young, articulate and tech-savvy builders on the panel confirmed the bright future of our world class Maine builders.”

As overall winner, the Ames Cup was awarded to Marilee. The Ames Cup honors the memory of Richard Glover Ames and Henry Russell Ames who were lost at sea on June 19, 1935, south of the Grand Banks in an unsuccessful effort to save their father who was washed overboard during the Newport to Bergen, Norway, yacht race. The Ames family hailed from Castine.

Sonny won the Sparkman & Stephens trophy as S&S yacht with lowest corrected time. The Phalarope trophy, awarded to the top Concordia yacht in memory of Thomas G. Ashton Sr., was won by Otter.

Castine Classic Yacht Race

• By Cruising World Staff
• Updated: August 6, 2013

Castine Classic Yacht Regatta

In the 14th annual Castine Classic Yacht Regatta, Black Watch , a 67.8′ Sparkman & Stephens yawl built in 1958, sailed by Peter Kellogg and Lars Forsberg, led a fleet of 40 classic yachts to win the coveted Ames Cup. The Ames Cup honors the memory of Richard Glover Ames and Henry Russell Ames who were lost at sea on June 9th, 1935 south of the Grand Banks in an unsuccessful effort to save their father who was washed overboard during the Newport to Bergen, Norway yacht race. The Ames family hailed from Castine.

This year’s Castine Classic Regatta celebrated the 75th Anniversary of the famed 39’10” and 41’ Concordia yawls. Designed by C. Raymond Hunt with the assistance of Waldo Howland, the Concordia Company commissioned 103 yachts of this class from 1938 to 1966, all but four of which were built at the Abeking and Rasmussen shipyard in Germany. With their extraordinary success as offshore racers and cruisers, these Concordias became the biggest class of large wooden sailboats ever constructed.

Prior to the race, 13 Concordia yachts were on exhibition at the Castine town dock and were honored at a symposium at the Maine Maritime Academy. The large crowd attending the symposium heard from speakers illuminating the finer details of the design, construction, and sailing qualities of these boats. John Eide, editor of The Concordian and owner of Golondrina , chaired the symposium, which included Doug Adkins, author of Dorade: The History of an Ocean Racing Yacht and owner of Concordia Coriolis; Queene Foster, who has sailed Concordias since the 1970’s; Giffy Full, the dean of wooden boat surveyors; Brodie MacGregor, owner of the Concordia Company; Benjamin Mendlowitz, premier wooden boat photographer; and Jon Wilson, founder of WoodenBoat Magazine .

The Castine event kicked off three days of classic boat racing, culminating in the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta.

The 19.6 mile race from Castine to Camden, sponsored by the Castine Yacht Club, was sailed under ideal conditions this year. David Bicks, co-chair of the event with Bob Scott of Castine, said that “In the last two years, our race was plagued by fog and lack of wind. But this year’s clear skies and steady 8-12 knot southeast breeze made for perfect sailing conditions.”

Katrina , a 41′ Concordia built in 1963, sailed by Joe Harris, led the celebrated Concordia fleet. Otter, sailed by Robert Keefer, took second place, followed by John Eide’s Golondrina.

In the Classic A Class, Black Watch was followed by Puffin , a 47.8′ Sparkman & Stephens design built in 1969 and sailed by Cabot Lyman. Spartan , a 72′ Herreshoff-designed NY-50 built in 1912 and skippered by Charles Ryan, took third place. The Classic A Class included a highly competitive match race among four Sparkman & Stephens 45′ NY-32s built in 1936. Falcon , sailed by Bob Scott of Castine, edged out Siren , sailed by Peter Cassidy; Isla , sailed by Henry May; and Gentian , sailed by Richard Armstrong, to lead the NY-32s in the three race series.

Thora , a Little Harbor 38 sailed by Vince Todd, led the Classic B Class. Palawan , a 47′ Sparkman & Stephens yawl built in 1952 and skippered by Scott Gazelle, took second place. Tiger Maru , a 37′ Laurent Giles design built in 1971 and skippered by Julien Davies, followed close behind in third place.

In the Spirit of Tradition Class, Isobel , a 75′ sloop designed by Stephens-Waring and built in 2011, sailed by Richard Schotte, claimed first place honors. The 47′ Stephens Taylor designed Lark , built in 2012 and skippered by Patrick Wilmerding, took second place, followed by Vortex , Steve White’s 52′ Reimers sloop.

At the awards ceremony at the Wooden Boat School in Brooklin following the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta, Bicks presented the Ames Cup and the Sparkman & Stephens trophy to Peter Kellogg and Lars Forsberg of Black Watch . The Mitch Gibbons-Neff trophy, presented in memory of Mitch Gibbons-Neff, late head of S&S who regularly crewed on Scott’s NY-32 Falcon , was awarded to Bob Scott, skipper of Falcon .

The Phalarope trophy, awarded to the top Concordia yacht in memory of Thomas G. Ashton Sr, was presented to Joe Harris of Katrina .

What a SHOW they put on!

About the third week of July, an armada of classic sailing yachts will make its way along the Maine Coast, first to Boothbay Harbor, then on to Camden. From there, under billowing sails, they’ll fly to Castine for an afternoon and evening of pre-race festivities and then trade tacks the next morning back to Camden before a final dash to Brooklin for the granddaddy of them all, the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta.

For sailors, it’s a three-week festival drawn straight from a Golden Age of sail. Black Watch will be there. Marilee and Gleam , too. As I write, the scratch sheets remain works in progress, but organizers at the various venues are preparing for bustling starting lines, of that you can be assured.

It all begins with the two-day Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club Regatta and Shipyard Cup Classics Challenge on July 20 and 21. Peter Neidhardt, who was recruited last summer to join the three-member committee planning the event, said some 65 sailboats turned up last year, and they’re hoping for a few more this summer.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the BHYC Regatta, which attracts a wide array of sailors to compete in several one-design and Performance Handicap Racing Fleet divisions. Charlie Willauer, also on the organizing committee, said in terms of racing, there’s something for everyone: Vipers for the younger sailors, Boothbay Harbor One Designs, a whole host of fiberglass boats from the 1970s on, and of course the classics.

Several years ago, he said, Hodgdon Yachts organized the Shipyard Cup as a way to get some of its bigger sailboats and owners together. That series ran its course and about four years ago, the Cup got reprised by the yacht club in conjunction with the Classic Yacht Owners Association series of regattas that are held up and down the East Coast. About a third of the boats racing in Boothbay are CYOA members, Neidhardt said.

To pull off the regatta and shoreside festivities, Neidhardt said they rely on 25 or more volunteers, who collect tickets, help with parking, and direct boats to moorings or docks.

On Friday night this year, Shipyard Brewing-sponsored around the world racer Ronnie Simpson, whose boat was dismasted in the just-finished Global Solo Challenge, will be on hand. And Saturday night’s the big party, where after a day of racing crews gather to swap stories and enjoy an assortment of appetizers and chowders, and 2,000 oysters.

The following week, July 25-27, sailors will regroup in Camden for the eighth running of the Camden Classics Cup, presented by Lyman-Morse and supported by the CYOA. Based on years past, it will be a true gathering of the tribe: PHRF and one-design classes, several Classic Yacht divisions, and a youth regatta on Friday, July 26 for kids 12 to 18.

Racing for the big boats begins on Friday. Saturday there’s a harbor parade in the morning, racing in the afternoon, and a big bash at Lyman-Morse that night.

“We’re not a true classic event,” said Holly Paterson, a veteran race organizer and the behind-the-scenes ringleader for the Cup. She said the overall goal, after spirited racing, of course, is to get non-sailors to participate as well. Toward that end, there’s a Community Shore Clean Up on tap for Thursday morning and shoreside events, including a car show, are planned throughout the regatta. The classic yachts get priority when it comes to the docks, so they can be viewed by anyone who cares to stroll past. As of mid-May, more than 60 skippers had registered. She said she hopes to have 90 to 100 boats on the line come race day. 

Paterson said running the race is pretty much a year-round job involving both volunteers and the staff at Lyman-Morse. As the band packs up to leave after the party and awards Saturday night, she said she’s already busy booking them for next year. Her biggest challenge? “We really want the community to be involved,” she said.

With a few days in between to regroup and repair, the next match-up on the classics calendar comes on Wednesday, July 31, when yachts begin arriving for the Castine Classic Yacht Race. Kevin Coady, race committee chair of the event, says the harbor gets lively in the afternoon as skippers begin to arrive. He expects 30 to 40 wooden boats this year, most of them visiting yachts, so they need help docking or finding their moorings. “We like to get six or eight of the real nice ones tied up at the town dock. It’s a big draw for the town,” Coady said.

Unlike other regattas that hold their parties after the race, in Castine, the land-based entertainment comes first. This year, the Castine Yacht Club will again hold its annual builder symposium, starting at 4 p.m. at the Maine Maritime Academy. Participants will be on hand from Artisan Boatworks, Brooklin Boat Yard, Front Street Shipyard, John’s Bay Boat Company, Lyman-Morse, and Rockport Marine. 

Once the last sailboats are off, the committee boat, with a handful of volunteers aboard including Coady, hauls the anchor and makes a run down Penobscot Bay to set up again on the finish line. The race boats are handicapped ahead of time, so Coady is able to get the result to shore in Camden pretty quickly.

“What’s become more and more important is to make it a terrific experience,” Coady said when asked about his committee’s biggest challenge. “That’s our job, to make it a fun two days. Castine is a beautiful town. People like it there.”

When the classics arrive in Camden on Thursday, August 1, an informal cocktail party at the Camden Yacht Club awaits skippers and crews, said Dennis Gunderson, who was first introduced to Maine’s wooden boat regattas more than a decade ago when he arrived as crew on Ticonderoga . “I absolutely fell in love with the Maine racing scene,” he said, and he’s been racing ever since. This year he’ll be aboard the 12-Meter Gleam , of which he’s a part owner.

In 2019, he was recruited to help organize the Camden-Brooklin Wooden Boat Race by regatta founder Tom Kiley. Gunderson’s Race Committee counterpart is Peter Clapp. Together with a volunteer crew and some of the yacht club staff, they expect they’ll send off 45 to 60 boats after a hearty breakfast at the club Friday morning. One thing that makes the Camden-Brooklin race unique is that all boats are required to tow a tender. It’s a throwback to the days when there weren’t launches in Center Harbor.

Gunderson said the biggest challenge for him is to keep the Camden Area Youth Seamanship Program at the forefront. The program teaches 6- to 17-year-olds boating skills, and race proceeds help fund it. Gunderson said they raised about $9,000 last year. 

By Friday night in Brooklin, Sam Chamberlin expects there will be 100 or so boats anchored in anticipation of the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta, an event that’s been held annually since 1985 when it was launched by Steve White and his crew at Brooklin Boat Yard. Billed as the largest wooden boat race in the world, these days it’s run by Rockport Marine, Brooklin Boat Yard, and WoodenBoat. The staff at Rockport Marine has been responsible for the regatta’s administrative duties for the past several years.

Chamberlin runs the design office at Rockport, and has been sailing the ERR for 20 or so years. For several regattas he helped out as a volunteer, and last year began to take over race committee duties from Richard Stetson, who’ll be retiring.

Chamberlin said the crew in charge—20 or so staff and volunteers—believes running the regatta shouldn’t be all that complicated. “We run this race as a pretty bare-bones effort, relative to the modern regatta. Our philosophy has always been we can run a simple operation with a minimal amount of logistical work. That being said, we average probably about 100 boats on the line every year, so it’s no small feat.”

On the water, the race committee will again this year have stylish accommodations aboard Taylor Allen’s sardine carrier the William Underwood . And after the race, there’s the party and awards ashore on the grounds at WoodenBoat that will attract 700 to 800 happy sailors.

“Having the three-weekend series of Boothbay, Camden, and then the feeder races and the ERR has been a great thing in making it more compelling for boats from other areas to make the trip up here,” Chamberlin said. 

Indeed. Let the racing begin.
