The Hobart and William Smith sailing team was back on the water this past weekend, April 11-12, competing in two regattas. Heron sailors were at the Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association Women's Team Race Championship in Washington, D.C.
 
In addition, HWS was at the Truxtun Umsted, a cross-regional regatta hosted by the Navy.  


MAISA WOMEN'S TEAM RACE

TRUXTUN UMSTED

• In Annapolis, Maryland, Saturday's breeze started out of the northwest and aligned perfectly with the Severn River. The second half of the day was a battle, trying to time races with 150-degree wind shifts. Eight races per division were completed on Day 1.
• On Sunday, the wind built up to 17 knots, staying at a steady SSE. That allowed for an additional six races per division to be contested.
• In total, 14 races were completed in each division. Pennsylvania won the regatta, finishing with 155 points.
• HWS was 17th.
• In A Division, senior Nico Garcia-Castrillon served as skipper and first-year Molly Pile sailed as crew. They finished in the top 10 in three races, finishing in second place in the sixth race.
• In B Division, senior Owen Carolan sailed as skipper and junior Bennet O'Keefe (races 1-8) and first-year Parker Yim (races 9-14) sailed as crew.
