Sailing looks to add to trophies

In sailing, the term "in irons" is used to describe a boat turned in a direction where its sails cannot catch the wind. In recent years, the Tufts sailing team has been anything but stuck in irons. The team has accumulated a wealth of trophies and titles this decade, and it hopes to use that momentum to propel it forward again in the fall 1999 racing season.
