In a weekend full of wild weather, it wasn’t rain that stopped the Harvard sailing team—it was the sun.

Still skies on Sunday cut the co-eds’ weekend at the Smith Trophy short, and in limited racing, the Crimson finished in the middle of the pack in 13th place.

Elsewhere in Boston, the Harvard women turned in their best finish of the season, placing second overall at the Women’s Regis Bowl.

The co-eds sent a second group to Central Series Four, where the Crimson took ninth place, but Sunday’s Harvard Invite was cancelled due to lack of wind.

“We’ve only had three races so far, and I think we’ve made a few avoidable mistakes that we’re working on correcting right now,” sophomore skipper Emily Lambert said. “The season’s been really good so far, but I think we can really see improvement.”

WOMEN’S REGIS BOWL

Harvard’s all-female quartet traveled down the Charles to compete in the Boston University-hosted Women’s Regis Bowl, and came away in a tie for second place among the 10 competing schools.

“This weekend was somewhat less competitive of a regatta than the bigger ones we’re used to,” Lambert said. “But it was a really good time to practice for upcoming events.”

Lambert skippered the Crimson’s top boat, while classmate Alexandra Jumper handled the crewing duties.

The pair placed fourth overall in the combined division of 20 boats, finishing in the top three in half of the weekend’s 12 races and winning once.

And while Harvard’s second boat took first-place honors in two races, skipper and captain Liz Powers and sophomore crew Marie Appel couldn’t match the consistency of their A-boat counterparts, finishing eighth overall.

Powers and Appel recorded four top-10 finishes in addition to their two wins.

Though the conditions were unpleasant, the seasoned Crimson women felt comfortable in their home waters.

“We were sailing on the Charles, so it was conditions we’re used to seeing in practice, which probably gave us somewhat of a local advantage,” Lambert said. “The rain just meant that we had to wear more clothing and be wet—it didn’t really affect sailing too much.”

As a team, Harvard finished with 160 points, matching Tufts’ total for second place. Boston College won the regatta with 126 points.
