NORTHPORT — For more than 20 years, local sailors have reserved early September for one of Penobscot Bay’s favorite low-key races, the Around Islesboro Race. This year, it took place Sept. 7, drawing 33 sailboats or varying sizes to the starting line, just off Turtle Head.

It was a circumnavigation that took some just under five hours, others went at a more leisurely pace, completing the course in nine hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

The race is run under the auspices of Northport Yacht Club and entry fees benefit the NYC youth sailing program.
