The co-ed sailing team finished sixth out of 18 teams at the New England Dinghy Championships at Dartmouth this weekend, the Jumbos' last competition in New England this season.
Tufts finished with 55 total team points, just behind fifth-place Yale's 53 points, and 14 points behind champion Roger Williams University's total team points. The Jumbos' A division boat, sailed by junior skipper Griffin Rolander and sophomore crew Emily Shanley-Roberts, was in the middle of the pack, tallying 36 points. But the B boat sailed by junior skipper Scott Barbano and senior crew Caroline Atwood finished tied for second in its division with a low 19 points, keeping the team's overall score strong.
With the New England racing season is now over, the team — which has continued to rank as one of the top teams in the region, especially after impressively winning all three of the regattas it hosted this season — will send crews to San Diego, Calif. later this month to compete in the national Intercollegiate Sailing Association Championships, beginning on May 28.
