  • Harvard won six team-race regattas and finished second once this spring.
  • The Crimson has previously won the ICSA Open Team Race National Championship four times (2022, 2023, 2023, and 2025).
State of Play
  • Harvard's open sailing team enters the national championship looking for its third title in four years.
  • The women's team seeks its first national championship, coming off of its best national finishes (fifth in 2024, third in 2025).
