Freshman Elyse Dolbec skippered the A-division, with sophomore Cassandra Niemi at crew.
Sophomore Marion Guillaume skippered and freshman Katie Beck crewed the B-division.
The team found smoother sailing with the Duplin Women’s Trophy at Tufts, and breezes held strong as the Crimson finished seventh of 13 teams over 10 races.
Senior Genny Tulloch skippered and sophomore Emily Simon crewed the A-division for the first five races, with junior Jessica Baker and senior Daphne Lyman assuming the roles for the second half of the races.
Harvard’s first boat took fifth in the division.
The B-division, skippered by Dolbec and crewed by Niemi, took seventh, and the College of Charleston won the regatta.
The Crimson’s results have lagged as skippers have been roped into co-ed racing, and the team is looking to the Dellenbaugh Women’s Trophy at Brown April 16-17 to reassert itself in preparation for national championships.
“Some of the women’s skippers have been sailing co-ed regattas. We definitely would like to get women’s back up to speed,” Devlin said.
“We’re looking toward to the Dellenbaugh to do that, sail our best people on A and B, and put people on notice before women’s qualifiers.”
