See also item 5458 2: Aquila NEH #2 on mainsail only 4: The "30 M" clearly IDs this boat as a 30 sq m, but the M3 probably denotes it as NEH #3, which is Herman Hessenbruch's Agile 8: Three 30 sq m beating into the wind. Agile NEH #2, in the foreground, tacking to starboard while the other hulls are going to port. The left-most boat looks like NEH #6. The wake behind #2 suggest it had just turned smartly.

This would be the start of the big boats racing over the same course. It looks like three other 30 sq. m. are racing given the bent upper masts 55: X 42, 4th from left, is a sail number designation (with an X) that was common for 30 sq. m. boats imported from Germany during the early 1930s. X 42 could be (?) the Gluckauf, the boat purchased and renamed as US3 Visitor by L. Francis Herreshoff. Also in the starting line is the 40 sq. m. NEH #2 Tsana III (holding the actual floating line) 56: Malcom N. Stanley's boat, winner class B, August series 57: Blue Hill, 1933 58: Nymph 59: Old Mack B, 1933 62: Class B yachts approaching finish line 67-71: Start of a Northeast Harbor race in the Summer of 1958
