“They’re hard,” Everett said, “especially because there is only one sail. I was having a hard time getting off the starting line, adjusting to the size of the boat.”

A light, unpredictable wind blew through Saturday’s 10 races, while yesterday’s nine featured a “little more solid [wind]—a sea breeze,” according to Everett.

In women’s action, Jennie Philbrick and sophomore Sloan Devlin skippered the Crimson to a third-place finish among 18 squads at Dartmouth College’s Mrs. Hurst Bowl.

“We had some trouble at the starting line,” A-team skipper Philbrick said. “But then we got it going.”

Conditions were relatively mild, with sunny, 75-degree temperatures and winds ranging from 3-12 mph. The team sailed two fleets of Flying Juniors.

“It was a good test of our skills,” Philbrick said. “This is really the first big women’s regatta of the year, so everyone’s getting their kinks out.”
