Three-regatta Weekend Keeps Sailing Team Busy

The teams expected a blustery Sunday, but despite the forecast, Sunday brought less wind than Saturday and the regatta completed with a wavering five to 10 knots out of the east-northeast.

Harvard finished in sixth place out of 15 teams. The A and B divisions, both composed solely of underclassmen, pulled their weight, coming in with 83 and 82 points, respectively.

Despite the disappointing finish, the young Crimson learned a lot for the future.

“Our coach was out in the water with us in a motor boat and after every race he gave a lot of constructive feedback,” Drumm said. “He helped us figure out and improve on what was going on in the water.”

Not far from home, another group of Harvard sailors competed at the Boston University Bridge Regatta.

Saturday, the winds blew east-southeast at a gentle three to seven knots. And although the wind ramped up slightly, the wind conditions Sunday were similarly mild.

The A boat of sophomores Caitlin Watson and Jacquelyn Cooley came in ninth with 106 points. The B boat of sophomore skipper Ames Lyman, junior crew Nicholas Gordon and freshman crew Rebecca Frankel also managed a ninth-place finish, giving the co-ed team a combined 206 points.
