After a slow start to their event, the Crimson rallied to win the title with two races left to go Having just barely lost the championship title to Roger Williams University last year, this victory was extra sweet for the Crimson sailors.

“Looking back, it was just an incredible year,” said Harvard team captain, Mitchell Callahan. “There was a bit of a sour taste in our mouths after last year, so we worked our asses off this year and peaked at the right moment.”

Yale University put up a great showing, leading the event after day one – but it slipped out of their grasp, causing them to fall to second. Last year’s winners, Roger Williams University, rounded out the podium in third (but won the “most enthusiastic spectators” award )

A HUGE thank you to all the race officials, umpires, volunteers, and fans at home for your enthusiasm and support – we couldn’t do it without you! Hosts Brown University put on a great show, running 158 races over the three days in a myriad of conditions – from light and sunny to downpouring and windy
