NEISA Sailors of the Week, Spring 2026, March 28-29


Providence, RI - 3/30/26: The Brown Bears’ team at the Dellenbaugh Women’s Team Race Trophy have been awarded the NEISA Women’s Sailors of the Week. The Dellenbaugh has proven to be the most competitive regular season women’s team race, with a field that often mirrors the strength of the national championship.  The Bears put on their best performance of the season, finishing 2nd overall to beat NEISA foe Yale for the first time this year and sailing to a 13-3 record that included a 2-0 record against eventual regatta winners Stanford. The Bears’ team comprised of skippers Laura Hamilton ’27, Katharine Doble ’26, Katherine McNamara ’26, and crews Katherine Majette ’27, Kaitlyn Hamilton ’26, Reese Corckran ’28, Sidney Moyer ’27, and Gabby Collins ’28.

 

Cambridge, MA - 3/30/26: The Dartmouth Big Green team at the Lynn Marchiando Trophy Team Race have been awarded the NEISA Open Sailors of the week. Despite losing their first race of the regatta, the Big Green jumped out to an early lead with a 7-1 record after racing concluded on Saturday. They would eventually go on to a streak of 13 consecutive wins before ultimately losing the final race of the round to Harvard, leaving the two teams tied atop the leaderboard with a 13-2 record and Harvard wining the tiebreak on head-to-head record. Under normal circumstances, the teams would have continued racing in an additional round, giving Dartmouth the opportunity to break the tie or force a 3rd race tiebreaking sail-off. Unfortunately, a mixture of timing constraints and a multi-way tie for 3rd place necessitated an alternative format, sending the Ivy foes home while other teams continued racing. The 2nd place overall finish is Dartmouth’s strongest performance of the season and their first back in NEISA after taking a couple weekends off for winter term exams and a trip to MAISA. Sailing for the Big Green at the Marchiando were skippers Bella Casaretto ’26, Ryan Satterberg ’27, Chase Decker ’28, and crews Lilly Baker ’27, Madeline Koelbel ’26, and Phoebe Lee ’26.
