ICSA Women's Team Race National Championship

Conditions were challenging on day one of the 2025 College Sailing Women’s Team Race National Championship, hosted by Brown University at the Ted Turner '60 and Edgewood Yacht Club. Racing had to be cut off at 5pm as gusts measured well above 30 knots and multiple capsizes made continuing the Round of 12 too dangerous. Sunny skies, cool temps, and a mainly Northwest wind increased throughout day with the rotation going from both FJs and 420s to 420s only for the second half of racing as it got windier. The Yale University Bulldogs and the Stanford University Cardinal ended the day with a perfect record of 9-0 and 8-0 respectively

The round robin finished Monday in a northwesterly breeze ranging from 4-14 knots for much of the day but slowly dying. The first round of 12 teams was completed, then round two of the top six teams by mid- afternoon. It was a tough start to the third round final four as the breeze died off. Despite the race committee's decision to forgo rotations with the hope of expediting racing, only two races of the Final Four round were able to be completed before the 5 p.m. cutoff. Without enough wind to complete the round, Stanford ended the regatta with a 16-1 record, and their second Women’s Team Race championship title. Yale finished a close second at 15-2. Harvard ended the event in third.
