The Crimson put up a total of 279 points. Fellow Ivy League schools Yale, Dartmouth and Brown finished in the top three spots.

64th NEVINS TROPHY

The Crimson, in its best race of the weekend, finished second out of 20 teams in his New York regatta hosted by Kings Point.

“We’re very pleased with the performance of our freshman Juan Perdomo…. We hadn’t seen him sail in a collegiate-style competition yet,” O’Connor said.

Perdomo won the C division despite his lack of experience in sailing 420s. He finished top-five in all ten races in which he competed.

“I’ve been working with coaches who have really been helping me with the technical aspect of the boat…. I’ve also been practicing with [sophomore] Marek Zaleksi,” Perdomo said.

O’Connor was pleased with sophomores Jake Bradt and Brian Drumm’s execution as well; the pair finished in third in the B Division.

Drumm was unable to compete in the Yale regatta the previous weekend, and Bradt was pleased with his season debut, titling him “one of [the team’s] most consistent players.”

Freshmen Julia Lord and her partner, junior Graham Slatterly sailed to 12th place in the A division.

The final results were close, with Stanford totaling 55 points, Harvard and College of Charleston both earning 69 points, and Brown putting up 70 points.
