Between now and the 27th we’ll preview all the schools that will compete in college sailing’s spring nationals.

Brown enters with their co-ed team ranked 4th and their women’s team 5th. The co-ed team was ranked 1st for 3 rankings. Brown was 4th in the NE women’s elims and 1st in the co-ed elims. This finish makes them a favorite for the co-ed championship. Senior Patrick Rynne leads the co-ed team. One thing they may lack is national’s experience as they only competed in team racing last year.

The Naval Acadmey qualified only for the women’s regatta. Their 6th ranked women’s team qualified by finishing 2nd at their elims. They were on the podium at last years women’s champs and return sailors from that successful group. Katherine Whitman is a team leader. Many of the top finishing women’s teams return so Navy will have a challenge repeating their podium position.
