In its second week of in-season competition, the Harvard sailing team continued to show off its strong boatmanship. The team participated in five highly competitive regattas throughout New England this past weekend.
“We could have done better [this weekend] in some regattas, but we did nicely in others,” junior Adam Brodheim said.
The Crimson earned four top-10 finishes and one 12th-place finish in its races at MIT, Boston University, King’s Point, Dartmouth, and Boston College.
BOSTON UNIVERSITY INVITATIONAL
In the final Charles River regatta of the weekend, Harvard finished third out of eight teams with 123 points. Only the Brown Bears and BU prevailed over the Crimson, scoring 46 and 109 points respectively.
Rookie Bennette Capozzi sailed with Brodheim; the twosome claimed third in the A division.
“Our starts definitely need a bit of work … the easiest way to win is to be first from the beginning,” Brodheim said.
B division freshmen William Bloxham and David Mened joined Capozzi and Brodheim at the Invitational, earning a fifth place title in the division with 71 points.
BOSON HARBOR INVITATIONAL
In Harvard’s weakest showing of the weekend the team’s 178-point total put it in 12th place out of the 17 teams competing in this regatta hosted by Boston College.
The freshmen duo of Matthew Mollerus and Victor Kamenker represented the Crimson’s A division. The pair ended the regatta with a first and second place finish.
Tufts ultimately finished on top, scoring a total of 68 points for the regatta.
18H MRS. HURST BOWL
At the first ever two-fleet regatta on Mascoma Lake, the women of the Harvard Sailing team finished eighth out of 16 teams.
Teammates Caitlin Watson and Kristina Jakobson finished in the top five in three races to place 11th in the division. Upperclassmen pair Morgan Russom and Ashleigh Inglish competed in the B division and ended the day in sixth-place with six top-five finishes.
