Sailing Takes Victory In First Regatta

Sept. 7, 2004

Last weekend, the Boston College Sailing Team won the Harry Anderson Trophy. The two day event was hosted by Yale University. On the first day of racing there was a light to moderate breeze with a bit of chop, which often made sailing conditions trying. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day for sailing. The Eagles finished in the third slot after Saturday, tallying 80 team points. The second day brought cooler temperatures and while it started off light, the wind built as the day progressed. This building wind caused many teams to put in their heavies. Over the two days many different conditions tested the competitors from the 24 competing schools. Eleven races, either course-4s or course-5s, were run.
