Boston College ended up winning the event, sparked by an outstanding performance by their B division team. Over a breezy weekend during April 10-11, Yale hosted its annual Team Race Invite. 7 teams were present to sail 42 races, in which Tufts dominated the competition and walked away with the victory. Sailing on Lake Ponchartrain in choppy waters and gusty breezes that reached over 30 knots on Saturday, Yale managed to place second in A division, and third in B, and finish in a strong 3rd overall. Some escapades into the city for Mardi Gras festivities were also executed, as planned.
