The final group of Harvard co-ed sailors on the water this weekend also had a successful outing, finishing third at the Staake Trophy. The team beat out Dartmouth in the tiebreaker and finished with a 4-4 record on the day.

The Crimson’s season doesn’t get any easier next weekend, with two championships on the line. At Boston College, the Priddy Trophy will determine the New England Freshmen Championships. And on Mystic Lake at Tufts, the New England Team Racing Championships will be held.

The last time Harvard was on Mystic Lake for team racing was at the beginning of April competing for the Friis Trophy. That time the team finished in third place, losing a tie-breaker to Yale, after a disappointing 3-3 record on the final day of racing.

With such important competitions coming up, the Crimson will need to get as much time on the water to practice many of the techniques it was unable to practice earlier in the season.

“With the Charles frozen for so long, we were only able to get in like two weeks of practice before the real races started,” Yu said. “For the next two weeks now we’re going to have to work our butts off.”
