HARVARD INVITE

The Crimson launched its younger sailors into the tricky winds that occasionally sweep the Charles River on Saturday. Harvard sailed effectively two teams, racing two boats in both A- and B-divisions.

Harvard’s first pair of boats won the regatta, as the A-division boat of freshmen skipper Andrew Flynn and crew Margaret Wang took second behind BC and the B-division of freshman skipper Megan Watson and junior crew Cassandra Niemi won their division.

A division-winning showing by BC’s A-division let the Eagles slip between the Harvard squads for second.

The Harvard “second team” took third, skippered and crewed, respectively, in the A-division by freshman Jon Garrity and sophomore Alicia Harley. Juniors Robbie Macintosh and Ashley Nathanson sailed the B-division to third place.
