Hoppin Takes Sixth In Annapolis Race

Former commodore Freddie Hoppin skippered his 44-foot yawl to sixth place in the McMillan Cup series--intercollegiate sailing's only big-boat regatta--on April 2 and 3 at Annapolis.

Hoppin's standing resulted from a fifth and six place finished in the two day series. Navy won the regatta.

In the first race, Hoppin, who is now rear commodore of the Sailing Club, finished within seven minutes of the leading, Middle boat after covering the triangular course in 3:09.4.

The final standings were: Navy, Princeton, Brown, Babson Institute, Harvard, Rhode Island, New York State Maritime College, Cornell, and Pennsylvania.
