"We won a major race against the Tufts team at the New England Team Racing Championship, and then had to re-sail the race because one of their boats had broken down. The re-sail occurred at the end of the day, when the sun was setting we were tired, but we won again and ended the day in the first place," Doyle said.

The Crimson's results from this year read like a laundry list of success: 1st at the Moody Trophy , 6th at the Admiral's Cup, 2nd at the Frii's Team Races at Tufts, 1st by an incredible 74 points at the Boston Dinghy Club Championships, 3rd at the Southern New England Team Race, 4th place in the Truxtun Umsted Championship at Navy, 2nd place at the Charleston team Race, 2nd place at the New England Team Race Championships, and first place at the New England Dinghy Championships.

"For the first time in twenty years we are favorites to win several National Championships, we've already won 2 out of 3 that have happened so far [Women's singlehanded and Coed triplehanded in the fall]," Doyle said.

"We've been No. 1 nationally in the collegiate rankings for the better part of the year," Bonney said. "And we have won or been in the top three in every national championship so far this year."

The Crimson, which still has an important chunk of their schedule to race, will host, along with MIT, the National Team Racing Championships. The Crimson is one of the favorites heading into the races, which takes place on the Charles River from June 3-5. After those races on their home "turf", Harvard heads off to the choppy waters of the Atlantic from June 6-8 for the Dinghy Nationals.
