31ST WOMEN’S DUPLIN TROPHY TEAM RACE
The women’s team competed in the 31st Women’s Duplin Trophy team race over the weekend, where the Crimson were forced to team up with sailors from BU in order to field a complete squad and finish fifth out of six teams.
“It was challenging working through some of the communication with the BU sailors,” sophomore crew Alexandra Jumper said. “We had no experience sailing with our third skipper, so we just tried to use it as a learning experience for the rest of the season.”
Senior skipper Liz Powers paired up with sophomore crew Marie Appel, while the duo of second-years skipper Emily Lambert and Jumper also competed on the weekend.
“This is our only team race in either the fall or spring seasons,” Jumper said, “so it was nice to take a break from fleet racing and just try to keep our momentum, energy, and optimism going.”
DORCHESTER BAY INVITATIONAL, CENTRAL SERIES TWO
The co-ed squad also sent a group to the Dorchester Bay Invitational at Boston College as part of the Central Series. Harvard finished second out of nine teams at the local event.
