HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
Harvard's sailing team opened its season April 3 by winning a five-team competition for the Ivan J. Geiger Memorial Trophy.
In a round-robin series, Harvard emerged unscathed with a 5-0 score. Finishing behind the Crimson sailers were the Coast Guard Academy, Dartmouth, Boston College, M.I.T., and Stonehill.
The regatta, held at the Charles River Basin in a 15 to 20 knot wind, was raced as a team event, in which only two teams are on the water at the same time. Each team has three boats, with the winning team determined by the lower sum of the teams' finishing positions. Harvard finished with the low total in each of its five races.
The Harvard boats, coached by Michael Horn '63, were sailed by the combinations of William Underwood-Jim Lankton, Paul Berger-Tucker Emmett, and Guy Carden-Jeff Rauch. Andy Mitchell substituted in one race.
The races were sailed on a co-skipper basis with members alternating as skippers and crews. Underwood was the high-point skipper with first places in each of his three races. Lankton and Emmett each placed first in one race.
