Kenney and fellow classmate Ames Lyman competed in the A-division, placing third and accumulating 18 points. The pair had three second-place finishes in their five races.

“We were able to keep our boat flat more easily than the other boats could,” Kenney said. “The conditions allowed us to sail faster. The main thing we were focused on was staying in phase and making sure our boat was working well with the wind.”

The B-division team consisted of sophomore Luke O’Connor and junior Nicholas Gordon, who competed as skipper and crew, respectively. The duo earned 20 points and emerged fourth in their division, and they ended the weekend with a first-place finish in their last race of the regatta.

The Crimson does not typically practice in Larks and only sails this type of dinghy at Tufts invitationals, but the squad overcame the additional challenge of sailing less familiar equipment to end its weekend with an overall third-place finish in the regatta.

YALE WOMEN’S INTERSECTIONAL

The Yale Women’s Intersectional was cancelled due to inclement weather.  On Saturday, a strong western front with gusts above 30 knots prevented the teams from taking the water. The following day, the high winds continued and caused large waves, once again forcing racing to be canceled.

Eighteen schools from across the country had planned to participate in the regatta.
