Despite the dead calm that forced the cancellation of all sailing on Saturday, race organizers managed to squeeze seven sets in on Sunday at the Mrs. Hurst Bowl women’s regatta at Dartmouth.

Harvard perhaps could have used another day of sailing, as the short regatta didn’t give the Crimson adequate time to recover from a few rough starts. Harvard finished 10th of 16 with two freshmen at skipper.

Roberta Steele skippered the A-division with junior Kristen Lynch at crew, and the two got off to a rough start, with two 15th-place finishes, but improved over the course of the day. Megan Watson teamed up with junior crew Sam Fink for ninth in the B-division. Neither skipper had sailed in an intercollegiate regatta before.

“There were no expectations for them,” Devlin said. “It was definitely a learning experience.”

Dartmouth won the regatta on their own home waters.

METRO 2 AT HARVARD

The Crimson finished sixth of 13 teams sailing on their home waters in the regular local series.

Freshman skipper Andrew Flynn took sixth in the A-division with junior Ashley Nathanson at crew. Fellow freshman Jon Garrity skippered the B-division to sixth place as well, as sophomore Ashley Harley crewed.
