Women's Sailors of the Week
The Women of the Harvard Sailing Team have been named the NEISA Sailors of the Week for their convincing win in Round 1B of the Women’s Atlantic Coast Championship hosted by Bowdoin. The Crimson Crew was comprised of Zoey Ziskind ’27, Christina Chen ’27, Kate Danielson ’28, JJ Drummond ’27 and Peyton Hadfield ’27. Danielson and Drummond were a force to be reckoned with in B-division winning six of the ten races sailed! Ziskind and Chen won A-division by staying near the front of the fleet throughout the weekend. They finished in the top three in seven of the ten races against a very talented fleet.
Open Sailors of the Week
The Brown Bears squad at the NEISA Match Racing Championship have been named the NEISA Sailors of the Week for claiming the Championship against a very talented field. First Year phenom, James Pine ’30, skippered the Brown boat with Cam Spriggs ’27, Charlie Gish ’28 and Reese Corckran ’28 completing the crew. The championship was sailed in Corinthian Yacht Club’s new fleet of Sonars with Maine Maritime acting as the host college. After a hotly contested round robin of eight teams and the subsequent knockout round Brown sat atop the leaderboard with Dartmouth, Yale and Coast Guard joining them in the semifinals. Brown beat Coast Guard in a three race thriller, and Yale swept Dartmouth to set the stage for the Finals. After splitting two incredibly close races, the Brown Team used beautiful boathandling and brilliant tactics to claim victory in the decisive race!
