The Brandeis sailing team raced in the Boston University trophy regatta this weekend, finishing 13th out of the 17 teams racing. The Judges finished the regatta with 341 total points. Harvard won the race with 114 points, while Coast Guard Academy came in second place with 176 points. The Judges just edged Roger Williams University which finished with 355 points. It was a grueling race which saw major changes in wind patterns and strong winds throughout the day.
"The wind was very shifty," captain Jen Goldstein '06 said. "At one point the wind completely changed. Every race was different.
The Judges have raced in five events throughout the season with varying success, but captain Jen Goldstein '06 is more focused on the team's growth.
"I'm just really happy we've had growth between the fall season and the spring," Goldstein said. "We've almost doubled the team and we're always looking for more people"
The Judges have two more races this season. They race at a Massachusetts Maritime regatta and a Metro Series this weekend.
"This season has been going really well," Goldstein said. "I'm hoping we can place well. We hope to maybe get a spot in the New England Championships.
