Sailing Hits The Road For Five Regattas

Harvard was disqualified from the Lane Trophy round robin that was hosted by Tufts and took place on Sunday. According to the regatta report, the Crimson failed to stay clear of Roger Williams when Roger Williams was the leeward boat.

Seven schools within the conference came out for an afternoon of sailing. Boston College took first place. Unofficially, Harvard finished in fifth with a record of 4-5.

NORMAN REID TEAM RACE

On Saturday, the Crimson joined five other teams on the Charles for the Norman Reid trophy. Thirty races were done in round-robin style, with Harvard finishing in first place. Senior Gram Slattery and sophomores Matthew Mollerus and Bennett Capozzi were the skippers and sophomores Julia Lord, Olivia Kjorlien, and Nomin Jagdagdorj joined them as crews.

Roger Williams and Boston College, the hosts of this regatta, both finished behind 9-1 Harvard with a 7-3 record, and right behind them were Brown University and Tufts who finished 3-7. Boston University came in last with a record of 1-9.

35TH YALE WOMEN’S INTERSECTIONAL REGATTA

Four women of the Harvard sailing team went down to Connecticut for this regatta. Of the 18 teams that competed, the Crimson finished in 11th place with the combined totals of both divisions.

Freshman Taylor Ladd and junior Kristina Jakobson took 16th place in the A division. Junior Sophia Bermudez and senior Ashleigh Inglis took fifth in the B division.

After the regatta-packed weekend of sailing, the Crimson has only four more weekends of racing left in the fall season.

“While a lot of regattas provide good insight about what it means to be a 'good' sailor, this weekend taught us about what it means to be a 'solid' sailor,” Bradt said. “The difference being that the 'good' sailor can win a race every once in a while, whereas the 'solid' sailor does what it takes to be consistent, to never finish outside of the top-five.”
