Harvard Struggles in Fall Team Races

The Crimson did not perform any better at the Mike Horn Trophy, as it failed to win a single race and was eliminated after the third round robin.

Harvard took sixth place out of six teams at the regatta hosted on the Charles River.

Participants competed in seemingly perfect sailing conditions for most of the regatta.

Roger Williams won the event with a record of 16-3. Tufts and Boston College rounded out the top three, finishing with 11-8 and 10-9 records, respectively.

“We’re going to try to get a lot better at that in the spring because the spring is much heavier on team racing,” Kopp said.

For now, the Crimson co-ed sailing team will focus on preparing for the Atlantic Coast Championships at by Harvard. Despite its failure to come home with a win in either of the regattas last weekend, Harvard hopes to finish its fall season on a high note.

“Next week were back to fleet racing at the [Atlantic Coast Championships],” Kopp said. “Last weekend was just a tune up.”
