The coed team began its season at Charleston this past weekend, where wind and close racing deterred a Harvard victory.
In a field where two New England teams, Harvard and Boston University, battled those from more temperate regions, the race turned out to be a survival of the acclimated.
"We had a difficult first day mainly because this was our first regatta of the spring season, while the other teams were from warmer regions where they had already had several competitions," said sophomore coed captain Doyle. "We got better as a team as the regatta went on."
Next weekend, the coed team will head to Annapolis for the Truxton Umsted Regatta.
After getting a taste of the southern waters in variable conditions, Crimson
sailing will seek to improve on its performance from last weekend and regain its fall form.
