Fueled by a strong showing in A division, the University of Hawai'i sailing team was in second place yesterday after the first day of the Inter-collegiate Sailing Association North American Coed Dinghy Championships.

Sailing was held under sunny conditions and 8- to 12-knot winds on the Columbia River Gorge in Cascade Locks, Ore.

The Rainbows amassed 54 points to trail Dartmouth by nine. Georgetown was third in the 18-school fleet with 78 points.

The Rainbows' B team — Joey Pasquali, Matt Stine, Carly Allen, Cassandra Harris and Jeffrey Boyd — had the division's second-best score of 33 points.
