ENFIELD, NH / KINGS POINT, NY (October 17, 2026): Tufts coed sailing was in action at a pair of regattas on Saturday. Through one day at each event, the Jumbos are seventh of 18 teams at Dartmouth's Captain Hurst Bowl, and ninth of 18 teams at the Nevins Trophy, hosted by the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
At the 35th Captain Hurst Bowl, the Jumbos have 154 points (82 in A, 72 in B) after ten races in each division. Tufts was balanced across divisions. Both boats scored well for sixth in their division. The A team features sophomore skipper
Pearse Dowd with senior crew
Sean Beaver, while B's has junior
Oliver Keeves skippering with senior crew
Courtland Doyle.
After a 14th in the opener, the A boat finished in the top eight in six of its next nine races. Its best result was a third in Race 5, and it added fifths in Races 2 and 6. The B boat won Race 4 and finished third in Race 7. It also opened with a fourth and closed with a second, so four of its ten finishes were in the top four.
Day two of the Captain Hurst Bowl, where Stanford leads with a 96 score, will start on Sunday at 10 AM.
At the Nevins event, the Jumbos have 153 points (99 in A, 54 in B) after eight races in each division. B Division was the highlight where senior Devon Owen is skippering with first-year
Eliana Mopper as crew. After a rough start with a DNF in the opening race, over the next seven races Tufts' B team scored 35 points in total, an average finish of fifth. It was second in Race 2, won Race 5, and added fourth-place finishes in Races 3 and 7. The 54-point total is the fourth-best B score in the fleet, behind only Stanford (27), Penn (45), and Navy (50).
A Division's 99-point total is 15th through Saturday, with sophomore
