Sailing Competes Along North Atlantic Coast

Of the 14 match-ups, Permero finished in first place for eight.

The boats being used were 420s and this was an intersectional regatta. The league is less than a week away from qualifiers to nationals.

“I feel like the team’s improvement is progressing,” Permero said. “With the nicer weather, we’re getting a lot more time on the water and are able to practice real-time performances.”

Sailing three seniors and one junior over two divisions, the Yale sailing team came out in first place with 155 points. Boston College followed with 173 and Dartmouth came in third with 202.

Sailing for Harvard in the A division were senior Caitlin Watson and sophomore Kristina Jakobson. Junior Ashleigh Inglis and freshman Julia Lord rode in the B division.

Saturday’s conditions were perfect for racing, but there was a lack of wind on Sunday which made things complicated.

With this weekend behind them, the men and women of the Crimson sailing team are getting ready for the final qualifiers of the spring season taking place next weekend.

“Everybody is very focused and ready for next weekend,” Permero said.
