Christian Ebbin, a seasoned Bermuda‑based sailor and Tulane University student, guided the university crew to a respectable sixth‑place finish among 19 teams at the Danmark Trophy held on Connecticut’s Thames River. The two‑day event, hosted by the United States Coast Guard Academy on October 3 and 4, featured 11 races in each division, with Tulane earning 188 points.

Ebbin, who grew up sailing around the turquoise waters of Hamilton, used his experience in both local and international competitions to steer the crew through variable wind conditions. The team’s performance marked a strong showing in a field that included top U.S. collegiate programs.

For Bermuda’s sailing community, Ebbin’s participation and success abroad underscore the island’s growing presence in global sailing circuits. Local clubs have noted the benefits of such international exposure for upcoming Bermudian sailors.

While the regatta’s final standings placed Tulane seventh overall, the crew’s finish—particularly under Ebbin’s leadership—demonstrates the potential of Bermudian talent in collegiate sailing and offers a promising outlook for future events involving island sailors.
