The Beanpot Regatta
	The "plates only" Beanpot Regatta 2002 was held Saturday 3/2/02 on Lake Wentworth, NH.
	Twenty (20) sailors from US and Canada (many with Gold, Silver and Bronze ranking) sailed (6)
	races (1 throwout) in very soft conditions and challenging winds. This regatta was planned many
	weeks ago to be run with plates (as defined by IDNIYRA spec's).  It was the first regatta I've ever
	raced where the runners were restricted to plates only.  The conditions were about as bad as it
	gets but yet a successful regatta because the (6) planned races were completed without any
	know mishaps.  I can't say enough thanks to the race committee, the ice spotters who found the
	ice and those who traveled long distances.  A metal sculpture, powder coated perpetual trophy
	of a DN crafted by artisan Brian Langley US5178 will be presented to the winner Don Brush.  We
	will also recognize the second place thru ? winners with goodies.  The new racing marks
	seemed to work well.  Its too bad that the racing continued well into the afternoon as I
	understand the launch area was full of music, food, beverage and fun conversation throughout
	the day.  I miss that part.  Sorry if I missed kudos for anyone else that helped.  Congrat's to Cathy
	Firmbach for her 5th place finish……go girl!
	Thanks,
	Steve Madden-IDNIYRA Eastern Lakes Rear Commodore
