                           October 19-20, 2002

                            8:00 PM 10-20-02

REGATTA HIGHLIGHTS:
Saturday - All racing was cancelled due to gusty SW winds and damage to sails. 
When the 12 Sonars left the dock winds were SW 15-18 knots. The race committee 
anchored just northwest of the Newport Bridge in an attempt to race in 
the more sheltered shore off Jamestown. By the time they anchored gusts were in 
the mid 20's with steep chop from the outgoing tide. Five mainsails had leech 
damage while one jib lost its batten. All boats took their mains down for the 
long beat back to Newport Harbor. All sails have been repaired and racing will 
begin early on Sunday with a 9:15 AM first start scheduled. The top two teams 
will qualify for the ICSA Sloop North American Championship, November 1-3 in 
Newport.

Sunday - First race was started promptly at 9:15 AM. 11 races were sailed 
in west/northwest winds 8-18 knots on W2 courses. Very shifty and puffy 
conditions. URI and Brown pulled ahead of the field early and stayed in front. 
Nine protests were reported but none were filed. Three 20% penalties were 
taken. Special thanks to the NYYC and their entire team for a job well done. 
Brown and URI will represent NEISA at the Sloop Nationals in two weeks.
