The Big Green also raced at Bowdoin in the Nicholas Barnett Trophy where they placed 5th out of 17.

At Harvard, the Big Green fought adverse conditions for a third-place finish in the Regis Trophy. Wind conditions were less than ideal on Saturday and the days races were called off. On Sunday, conditions improved, and Dartmouth was able to sail eight races for both divisions. The team finished with 78 points behind to Yale teams that scored 53 and 33 to take first and second. Sailing for the Big Green were junior Payton Thompson, sophomore Caroline Oyster, sophomore Elise Donovan, freshman Gray Hemans and senior Carlota Hopkins Guerra.

Racing for Dartmouth were senior Ryan Goldstein, senior Eloise Burn, junior Boyd Bragg, junior Christopher Long, junior Eliza Crocker, freshman Oliver Hurwitz and freshman Reese Bragg.

Young traveled with head coach Justin Assad to the Women's Singlehanded Qualifiers at Boston College.
