The Harvard squad finished behind Salve Regina in the pool of 11 NEISA competitors. The freshman duo of skipper Dylan Farrell and crew Kirstin Anderson took fourth and sixth in the two A division races that took place. In the B division, junior skipper Adam Brodheim and freshman crew Ariana Gross finished first and sixth, respectively, making the Crimson’s combined score of 13 good enough for second.

"I thought the racing went pretty well," Farrell said. "We did a good job staying flat and fast upwind and were able to get through the day without capsizing once. As always, we could improve on our starts, which were not great in the first two races."

Each duo as only allowed to compete in two races, as the contests were called early due to wind, capsizes, and risk of hypothermia.

DELLENBAUGH WOMEN’S TROPHY

While the remainder of the team stayed to compete on the local Charles, four female members of the team headed to Providence, RI, where they earned 13th place out of a pool of 18, sailing in 420s. Host Brown took first, while other Ancient Eight members No. 1 Yale and No. 5 Dartmouth took fifth and 15th respectively.

The field of competition also included No. 9 Charleston, No. 7 Coast Guard, and No. 8 Bowdoin. Teams also came from as far as California and Florida to compete in the interconference regatta.

Junior skipper Sophie Bermudez and senior crew Ashleigh Inglis held down the A division for the Crimson, finishing in 14th place with 70 points. The tenth place finish earned by freshman skipper Taylor Ladd and junior crew Kristina Jakobson brought the team’s final placement up to 13th.

Even with temperatures in the 50s—slightly warmer than those in Boston—winds and capsizes brought the first day of competition to an early close. However, on Sunday, conditions improved greatly and the winds averaging about 16 knots gave way to a day filled with races.
