Three minutes and the gun will sound. You ' ll be matched against a variant wind, a rough or calm expanse of water, and ten other boats, each one vieing to outdo the other. Waiting for the gun to sound, you look over your competitors, watching their moves carefully, reacting to them, jockeying for position. Gazing out at the course you quickly analyze the direction and strength of the wind. There is one minute left and you ' re either still striving for position or struggling to maintain that which you have gained. If you are searching for some moments of freedom and if you love the water, sailing may well be an answer to your search. It has been for Bill Garfield, co-captain of the 1969-70 sailing team with Chris Anden. Bill started sailing when he was four years old, living on an island off Cape Cod every summer until he was sixteen. Since then, he has spent summers cruising and racing large boats. When Bill came to Tufts he sought out the sailing team and in working his way to the top gave the team the pride and desire it needed after the coupled loss of coach David Higgenbotham, who left Tufts in the spring of 1967, and All-American sailor Dave Curtis, who graduated in the fall of 1968. After losing Coach Higgenbotham, the epitomy of organization , and Dave Curtis, the last of a string of great Tufts sailors , the team lost its organization, unity, and spirit. Bill was soon elected captain and set as a goal to rebuild the sailing team. Last fall our win-loss record of 27-9-3- was as good as any previous season and we’re still growing in numbers and quality, said Bill. He ' s proud to say that the team is once again spirited and up and coming under the coaching of Joe Duplin, professor of physical education at Tufts. Junior co-captain Chris Anden praised Bill not only as an excellent sailor but also for his strenuous efforts in re¬ organizing the team. Chris also has sailing in his blood, having started when he was two years old. Every summer he mi¬ grated to Westhampton, Long Island, New York, with his family, who are all avid sailors. One of his many achieve¬ ments was winning the Great South Bay tournament, de¬ feating all Southern Long Islanders. Sophomore Sandy Vitor agrees with Chris Anden, who explains he sails because it ' s a freedom; you can see for miles and miles. There are no traffic rules, no congestion, just you, the boat, and the water. Sandy, too, has sailing bred in his veins. He began sailing when he was six and racing at seven. He has won many tournaments in Edgertown, Mass¬ achusetts, starting with his first at age seven. When he was sixteen, he entered the International 110 and took a first over many surprised adults. Those are the three skippers who led Tufts to their fall record of 27-9-3. But then, in every boat besides the one skipper is the one crew, whose job it is to watch the other boats while balancing your own. You ' ve got to keep the boat level with the water so the sail catches more of the wind,” says Cap Green, the main crew. Cap is not one of those who has been sailing since a child. He began when he came to Tufts. He says he loves sailing because it is satisfy¬ ing. You ' re matched against individuals on an individual level yet you ' re doing it for a team.” This year, thanks to efforts of Bill Garfield, Chris Anden, Sandy Vitor, Cap Green, and all those unmentioned yet who played an important part, the team overcame its setback and because sailing is in your blood once you ' ve sailed, it will continue.
