As the Atlantic Coast Championships rapidly approach for both of the sailing teams, the opportunity to sharpen their skills in what could be their second?to?last weekend of sailing this season has become more important than ever. This past weekend, the coed sailing team took to their 420s at the Sherman Hoyt Trophy, hosted by Brown University at the Edgewood Yacht Club. Meanwhile, the women's team headed to the Charles for MIT's Stu Nelson Trophy with hopes of improving what has been a somewhat inconsistent season.
Coming off last weekend's regattas, the coed and women's sailing teams were looking to build off strong performances and to continue the momentum toward championship races at the end of the season. The Jumbos capped off their weekend with some highlight finishes, including placing first for the first time in three years at their own Hood Trophy Intersectional Regatta.
With so many factors affecting the outcome of a sailing race, it can be a lot harder than it might sound to simply blast the competition, particularly when it comes to the races in the competitive New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association (NEISA) conference.
This past weekend marked a crucial moment for Tufts' sailing teams, providing their last opportunity of the season to sail in regattas before the playoffs get underway.
Three students have been added to the Tufts Community Union (TCU) Senate after seats were vacated at the end of last semester. Meredith Goldberg and Amelia Quinn have filled the two empty junior class seats, and Ian Donovan has filled the empty senior class seat. The three seats were vacated at the end of last semester when one sophomore and two juniors resigned, according to Tufts Election Commission (ECOM) Public Relations Chair Joel Kruger. The empty sophomore seat became a senior seat because there are more than seven sophomore senators and fewer than seven senior senators, according to Kruger, a sophomore. The replacements are effective immediately, and the three senators will attend their first Senate meeting this Sunday, according to Kruger.

Neither stormy conditions nor a jam-packed schedule could stop the No. 12 coed sailing team from building upon its recent success: The Jumbos rolled to three top-five finishes this past weekend, including a first-place at the Mystic Lake Team Race Invitational.
Ranked as high as No. 9 in the country last fall, the sailing team is focused on one thing this spring: a return to Nationals, where early last summer the team finished in an impressive 10th place. And with two weekends of regattas under their belt and high expectations to fulfill, the No. 15 Jumbos are ready to kick it into high gear as the season heats up.
The national No. 12 women's sailing team this weekend traveled to Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Fla. to compete in the Atlantic Coast Championships (ACCs) — its final fall regatta — and did not leave disappointed.
For the co−ed sailing team, it's all about Charleston.
