...sailing coach Mike Horn said yesterday. "In the last race we were sailing against Brown. If we had lost, they would have been first and we would have been fourth." Radcliffe finished the Championships with six wins and two losses, Brown with five wins and three losses and third-place URI won four and lost four. The team sailed without Lauren Norten, one of the team's top skippers, who was pressed into service in the MacMillan Cup on the same weekend...
...boat races on the college racing circuit. The eight intrepid sailors, led by team captain Steve Strittmaller, sailed two masted 44-ft. yawls. The team had never practiced together on the big boats prior to the official pre-race test run but managed to hang on to second place after the first day of sailing.

Stevens sheets, even after the student body has voted to boycott that company...
