From the Editor:

In appreciation of his longstanding support and commitment to the Seamen's Church Institute, the publishers wish to dedicate this issue of The Newport Harbor Guide to Henry H. "Harry" Anderson, Jr.

Anderson has spent 70 years racing, organizing and volunteering in the sailing community. He sailed at his alma mater, Yale University, served in the U.S. Army in World War II, and tried out for the 1960 Olympics in the Finn class. He has raced his own boats to numerous awards and was involved with America's Cup races from 1958 until just recently, serving as head of the Race Committee.

Harry Anderson at the helm spacer Anderson was head of the United States Yacht Racing Union, the predecessor to US Sailing. He is involved with the American Sail Training Association and the Museum of Yachting, is a former commodore of the New York and Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Clubs, and was vice president of the International Yacht Racing Union.

A member of the Seamen's Church Insititue Board of Directors, Anderson is currently spearheading the Institute's Capital Campaign.
