During the turbulent times of 1968, Captain Hurst and his wife, Chris were requested by officers in the United States Navy to move to Hanover, NH to assist in their ROTC program at Dartmouth College, which had fallen into hard times during the protesting of the era. Sacrificing a promising career in the higher ranks of the US Navy, Capt. Hurst answered his call to duty. Upon arrival in Hanover, the long time sailor was happy to learn that Dartmouth had a sailing team. Though it was in a rather disorganized state at the time, Capt. and Mrs Hurst fell in love with the kids of Dartmouth Sailing, and would begin a journey with the program that would last the rest of their lives. There is no doubt that the Dartmouth Sailing Team as it exists today would not be possible without the tireless efforts of the Hursts. This morning, Mrs Hurst herself was on hand at her regatta to share stories and baked goods with all the competitors and coaches. We are all very thankful to have her in our lives.
Truly champagne conditions on Mascoma Lake greeted the Mrs. Hurst competitors today. The NW breeze built through the first few sets to eventually be gusting into the low 20s in knots. The breeze tapered slightly towards the end of the day as the final set was completed. The Yale Bulldogs were dominant and hold a solid lead heading into day two. Big thanks to Dartmouth alums Ed Jude Glackin '11 and Bernie Roesler '12 for logging over eight straight hours on their beloved Mascoma today.
