The Crimson spread itself out over four different regattas, battling a variety of conditions and coming away with solid results.

Both the co-eds and the women sailed in some of their most competitive races of the season, placing eighth and seventh at the Navy Fall Intersectional and the Yale Women’s Intersectional, respectively.

Meanwhile, the co-ed team sent squads to the Captain Hurst Bowl—where Harvard didn’t fare as well, mustering only a 17th-place finish in limited racing—and the local-level Tufts Invite, where the Crimson finished sixth.

“It’s exciting to show the depth in the team, that we’re able to travel to four different regattas in one weekend,” women’s captain Liz Powers said. “We’re excited to keep improving.”

YALE WOMEN’S INTERSECTIONAL

Bolstered by an outstanding performance in the B division, the Harvard women placed seventh in a field of 20 in New Haven, Conn. Skipper Powers and sophomore crew Marie Appel placed second in their grouping, notching seven top-five finishes in 10 races.

“We were really excited about our boat finish because it was one of the more competitive regattas of the season,” Powers said. “Marie and I had never sailed together until this season, and we’ve been really progressing quickly as a team, getting used to each other’s style and improving our boat handling.”

In the A division, sophomore skipper Emily Lambert and classmate and crew Alexandra Jumper weren’t quite as successful, placing 14th with three top-10 finishes.

“[There were] very tough conditions this weekend, because it was freezing, and today the sleet made the racing pretty challenging,” Powers said. “The wind shifts direction very often, so a lot of this weekend was working on focusing on predicting how the wind would shift.”

Powerhouse Yale won the regatta on its home waters, followed closely by Boston College.

NAVY FALL INTERSECTIONAL

The co-eds sent their top contingent down to Annapolis, Md. this weekend to compete at the Navy Fall Intersectional.

In a very competitive regatta, featuring 20 of the nation’s top teams and an expanded slate of four divisions of racing, Harvard held its own, placing eighth overall.

“It went pretty well,” junior captain Alan Palmer said. “It’s a weird regatta because there were four divisions—usually there’s just two…it shows we have some depth.”

Junior Teddy Himler, sailing in the singlehanded C division, posted the Crimson’s best result of the weekend, coming in fifth in his division.
