Although winter seems reluctant to leave Cambridge, the Harvard sailing team will open its spring season over the weekend with three meets.
In the first meet, at M.I.T., the Crimson will play host to six colleges of the Boston area in competition for the traditional "Hot Mug." The meet, which includes contestants from Radcliffe and Wellesley, will begin this afternoon at 2 p.m.
Saturday, the team will sail in a heptagonal meet at the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn.
On Sunday, the Coast Guard will again be the host for a dual meet with the Crimson sailors. For this meet, the Harvard line-up in division A includes skippers Ashton Langworthy and Tom Townsend, and the crew of McKim Williams and Bill Owens. In division B, George Cronin and Nick Baker are the skippers, and John Reed and Art Gossard make up the crew.
In recent elections, the sailors picked Langworthy of Adams House to replace Frederic G. Hoppin of Lowell as commodore. Other officers elected were William W. Owens of Claverly, vice commodore; Hoppin, rear commodore; J. Carter Brown of Eliot, secretary; Philip Tierney of Eliot, treasurer; Michael F. Kenny of Eliot, chairman of the race committee; and George R. Cronin of Winthrop, member at large.
