UA Sailing joins Harvard Sailing Team on Lake Pontchartrain racing course

1/29/2022

The Harvard University sailing is getting in some practice time in the relatively warm January New Orleans climate. As the Ursuline sailing team headed out to the lake for our typical Wednesday practice, one of the Harvard coaches approached us in his powerboat and invited the Ursuline sailors to their course as they were wrapping up their practice. Our Ursuline sailors were able to sail next to the Harvard sailors, who are currently ranked 5th in the country in women's college sailing.

After Harvard sailed in we continued on with our practice as usual. New Orleans Yacht Club (the club we sail out of) member Mark Backus, flew a drone overhead and took some photos and a video as the sun was starting to set. If we use his photos, please give him credit. They are really cool!
