Racing in strong puffy winds in the Charles River, the Varsity sailing team placed second Monday in the greater Boston Dinghy Championships at M.I.T. Boston University led the field of six schools to capture the Oberg Trophy.
Skippers Bill Saltonstall and Jim Parker each scored second highest in division A and B respectively, while Dave Gill sailed his Tech Dinghy to third place in C division. Consistently good sailing by the Terriers enabled them to win in all three divisions.
During the morning the weather was so adverse as to cause one boat to capsize and severely hamper the rest of the fleet. By the afternoon, however, the morning's light rain and high winds gave way to calmer weather.
The top four Crimson sailors, racing together for the first time this season, will defend the Geiger Trophy tomorrow in the annual M.I.T. Quadrangulars. Boston University, Brown, and M.I.T. are each expected to provide a strong challenge.
Skippering for the Crimson in the "110" class, Saltonstall has a record of eight wins and no defeats for two years.
